Welcome to our first blog post! We are very excited to launch our new website and have plans to send out a newsletter which will inform and inspire subscribers to be the best innkeepers possible for your guests.
Whether you are an aspiring or established Innkeeper, there will be something here for you to take away and use in your business and to grow your knowledge and reputation in the lodging industry .
Have Your Guests Singing Your Praise!
Today’s focus will be on how and why we established InnTuners, some of the awards we received, and how we can help you.
From September 2014 until June 2021 we were the owner and Innkeepers of Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn and Spa. We transformed a 1909 historical home into a profitable, client-focused bed and breakfast with modern conveniences and amenities that guests expect today when they travel. Over the years we established a 60% repeat client business. We accomplished this by offering exemplary guest services and a strong focus on details that make a difference to your guests. With both of our backgrounds being in upper-level retail management, we understand the importance of making a guest feel welcome in your home while also ensuring that you always have what you will need to make your guest’s stay the best ever.
Our guests helped us to achieve outstanding awards such as the #1 status on TripAdvisor in Asheville for over 4 consecutive years, #2 in the United States and #7 in the world in the Bed and Breakfast category. Also, being a AAA 4 Diamond Award property for all 7 years because of the continued annual enhancements we made to the inn such as our Abbington Green Spa exclusively for guests staying on property. Bedandbreakfast.com awarded us the Top 25 Bed & Breakfast Award in North America for two consecutive years, and the local Asheville Chamber of Commerce awarded us the Sky High Award for our substantial increases in business year-over-year.
We sold Abbington Green after we built the business to the highest level. We are now beginning our new business venture as consultants to help you achieve loyal customers to your property and high profits that will grow each year. We have taken all the things we learned and experienced over the past 7 years and can help you apply them into your business to make it a success.
