It's amazing what some "guests" think they are "entitled" to, eh Jay?
For the most part, we've been glad to find that guests are honest. (And our
pilot-guests have been 100% honest.) When we experience a loss, it's
usually due to damage, not theft.
For example, I'm amazed what some people use our towels for -- you'd swear
they were checking their oil with them.
Pet owners are the worst, though. It's really funny when guests with pets
throw a fit because we must put them into a "smoking permitted,"
non-aviation-theme suite. They honestly don't seem to understand why we
lump smokers and pet-owners into the same category.
One cat can cause a thousand dollars worth of damage quicker than any
smoker, and they will render a suite uninhabitable. For smokers I've got an
ozone machine to remove odors -- but NOTHING will remove cat dander or
urine.
One of these days I'm going to write a post on the lessons we've learned
from running a small inn for almost two years...
