We have been getting many emails recently. The most common question is “Who are you and what inn do you own”. It seems that there is speculation that this site was created as a marketing tool of one of the inn directories. It was not. There is no connection between this site and any directory that we have reviewed. We have been in no way compensated, rewarded or even offered any “perk” for a review or based upon a review.
The reason that we have decided that we should remain anonymous is that we do not want our opinions, expressed here, to impact our primary business, our Inn. Our Inn is our livelyhood and based upon some of the heated emails that we have received regarding our reviews, it is clear that we made the right choice in remaining anonymous.
If you feel that the ratings are biased, or that they do not reflect your opinions, don’t read them.
To the directory site owners, this site was started as a resource for innkeepers - it is clear that many of these directory sites are not pleased with what we have had to say about them. I would hope that you would use these reviews as a tool to improve your sites and better serve the needs of the Innkeeping community. I am certain that your time would be better spent doing that than emailing us.
We are working right now on implementing a user review / rating system, which will allow our visitors to rate each directory on their own. These user ratings will be displayed along side of our own ratings.
Until this user rating system is complete, we have decided to pause posting new reviews.
