Many thanks to Jennifer and Carlos Torres for sharing their own secrets with BBOnline.com! Why do most travelers stay at your inn?

What’s the best compliment you have ever received about the inn? While the inn has received many comments regarding its cleanliness, scrumptious breakfast and affordability, I would have to say when a guest had mentioned that her stay "was like visiting your favorite aunt at the shore" was my favorite. Many will forget what was said or done, but not how you made them feel!
