Review
As many travelers know, a visit to a bed and breakfast (B & B) home is rapidly becoming a viable alternative to impersonal motel accommodations. Most tourist destinations already offer the opportunity to stay with local residents in a homey atmosphere and it is reasonable to assume that the marketplace will support many more such ventures. How to Open and Operate a Bed& Brea4fast Home is a comprehensive manual aimed at anyone who contemplates entering this growing field. Stankus, a veteran in the travel industry, converts her experience, research, and interviews with seasoned B & B hosts into a readable guide to virtually all aspects of establishing and sustaining a profitable business. Her detailed advice concentrates on steps to take before the first guest is booked for the night, including a hard look at whether the reader has both the personality and the temperament to operate a B & B. Other issues which are examined include the location and amenities of the home, furnishing the bedroom(s), pricing and marketing B & B services, screening guests, providing a memorable breakfast, and attending to the financial and legal aspects of running a business. The book's usefulness is enhanced by numerous checklists and three appendices. Although Stankus stresses the realities of operating a B & B, her enthusiasm and conversational tone convey a positive attitude and make it obvious that she believes the bed and breakfast experience should bring enjoyment to both guest and host alike. -- From Independent Publisher
