Over 14 years ago my wife and I spent our first anniversary at a Bed and Breakfast in Sedona, AZ.

I love my contractors but I have to pick them up with breakfast burritos to show up and no matter if I beg them not to smoke indoors, they do.

You don't want guests to eat breakfast then have to run the dishwasher just to eat lunch.

The duplex made more sense at my stage in life as I am close to 50 and spent my first 25 years of adulthood running Bed and Breakfasts with guests sharing my living space every day.

Last week we visited City Hall and we were told that 1) There isn't any regulations specific to STR's (good) and 2) that "it probably" follows the same process as obtaining a permit for a Bed & Breakfast (not good), which is long and a bit complicated.

The last hotel I stayed at told me there was no daily room service or breakfast available due to staffing.

So this is not my kind of Hotel to stay at, but when I seen it I immediately thought this is the kind of Hotel I would go to have an upscale business breakfast (and less often an upscale business lunch) during the week.Show up, park, go inside sit in a nice lobby, a waitress offers me a free coffee in a cup and saucer, while I and other businessmen (so few ladies seem to do this) sit and wait for the Restaurant to open at 7am or whenever.This works if the Clientele of the Hotel matches the intended restaurant customer. 

I am closing on a former bed and breakfast in a tourist town.

My local real estate company had some international connection when my bed and breakfast was listed during 2020 and Covid and we got a lot of foreign people who lived stateside whose family members abroad sent them to look.

I have a breakfast area that seats 6 so that seems to be working for us.
