Re: Re: innkeeping: disputed charges

We do not take credit cards and with a deposit of one night's stay, we 
have
had fewer problems than taking credit cards would cost.

Repeat business is clearly preferable.

Demanding the return of a form acknowledging cancellation policies almost
seems counterproductive.

Although many potential B&B customers assume we operate like hotels, (and 
act
that way on their first visit to a B&B), in the long run this is not the
market we seek.

I guess our vote is that almost every reservation is a judgement call as 
to
how it should be handled.
