Trying to do better, but talking to a camera doesn’t feel right and isn’t normal behavior!
So many cars have driven by probably wondering why I’m walking around the ditch like an idiot. Well, now you know!
Anyways, comment on topics you want to us cover during our Winterset renovation or anything about owning/operating 3 independent hotels!

Here’s our $$$ renovation plan in 90 seconds…
We are beyond grateful our first two renovation projects worked out. But we aren’t phoning this one it, it’s bigger and more ambitious. Even with new challenges and risks, third times the charm?

What have I just done? We are locked and loaded for an October grand opening. Now the clock is really ticking!!
p.s. I’m not really sure if it’s 12,000sq ft.

Got seriously spooked seeing our January revenue…even after improving the breakfast, deep cleaning entire hotel, new locks, and upgrading marketing (before major renovations start)
A 62% drop YoY is never great, but we keep going.
Every hotel brings it’s own unique set of challenges, and I’m still confident we can turn things around at this hotel.
Follow us to see how we do!

We need your advice again gang!! Renovations are due to start in Feb, and I’m still unsure as to what we should do with our outside patio space in Winterset.
The patio in Chariton is an amazing space, not just because it’s huge and has multiple things to do, but because it acts as a great attraction for potential guests passing by.
In Winterset, we don’t have either of those benefits…No main road by the hotel, and not a ton of space to work with.
I’m thinking under our canopy to have a seating area, a putt golf strip down the side of the hotel, a fire pit, and BBQ. What do y’all think??
