They always say, the most important meal of the day is a
good breakfast, and that certainly holds true for our Bed and Breakfast!
Not only is Breakfast the time to show off our wonderful
cooking skills, but it’s what sets us apart from the hotel chains. At Breakfast
our guests get to dine together, socializing and learn what others have done
while they’re in Taos. More often than not our guests have come in for a quick
bite to eat, and end up sitting and socializing most of the morning with their
table. We've had guests that have discovered they live a mile away from each
other back home. One guest discovered her and my mom went to the same high
school and were in the same graduating class! My mom dug up her old yearbook
and found both their pictures. It’s a small world.
Our guests are what make running an Inn so lovely. I am a
graphic designer, and I worked for a company in London for 4 years. And as much
as I love design, I don’t miss working in front of my computer all day with no
one talking to me. My colleagues would often email me work, some days I would
go all day without speaking! It’s nice to have people to talk to every morning
that are always friendly, and why shouldn't they be, they are on vacation!
Our return guests are always fun to catch up with, and after
only a few visits they feel like old friends. A family that visits us every
year from Houston even hosted us for a night when we were driving down to
Florida for a friend’s wedding. They even made us a delicious breakfast!
I’m always amazed at how thoughtful our guests can be. Mark
and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary today and one of our
guests left us an Anniversary card when they checked out!
When we were down in Santa Fe we ran into two of our guests
who had just left our Inn the day before. We got to talking and before we knew
it we had spent most of the evening in the bar with them. We treated them to
the pizza we all shared, and eight months later we received a package in the
mail from the two of them. They had sent us four local brewed beers from
Seattle for us to try!
So as you can see the guests is what make this job so
unique! Come visit us again soon!
