A lot of outdated information but overall a very helpful guide on getting started in the hospitality business

[Dawn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good information and evey educational. However, seemed to speak more to large B&B owners with 15+ rooms. I'm looking for a smaller B&B to manage on my own, perhaps 5 rooms.

So far, this book is very helpful in the guidance of innkeeping and potential ownership of a Bed and Breakfast.
