I spent a career in the hotel business.
It was a actually challenging career with lots of moving around the country involved.
But, the good part of that is I was able to explore our nation region by region. I also really loved the actually method of hospitality. There is nothing better to myself and others than making a guest more comfortable or adding to a good trip. I lived for those moments. Having shifted careers a bit, the hospitality thing is still center to my biweekly work. I now consult to B&B’s and full repair Inns. The years of repair in superb hotels gives myself and others a particular perspective which I bring to my shoppers and their properties. One of the largest troubles I have noted through my consulting labor is HVAC. Many B&B’s and Inns utilize outdated buildings or homes to accommodate guests. Owners will pour currency into design and interior decor. Yet, they often pay little attention to heating and cooling. This seems a bit backward to me. I have had several otherwise unbelievable stays ruined by terrible HVAC equipment. The method that each room has to live with whatever temp setting the management has deemed is outdated thinking. No matter how cute and quaint a property is, if a guest can’t adjust their own temperature, you are failing as a landlord. In most instances these HVAC troubles can be easily fixed with either zoned controlled HVAC or multi split HVAC units. There simply is no excuse to not provide individual heating and cooling comfort to each and every guest. Otherwise, you might not have too several more guests.
