Perhaps you could name it after your own name? The Barbie Inn? Obviously I mean your own last (or first names). ---

First off let me welcome you to the wonderful world of hotels. The best semi unsolicited advise i could pass on to you is; know your market, and to whom you are selling to. You are in Vermont; where are you in Vermont? Are you looking to capture the Romantic get a ways, leaf-er, people on ski weekends? are you near an airport? how are the roads in winter where you are located. Can you accommodate groups like bus tours, motorcyclist ( not all bikers are dirt bagsā€¦ a lot are doctors, and lawyers with more money than you will ever know.) the Hotel that I am a group sales manager at in the Texas Hill Country makes a lot of $$$ off of bike groups in the spring and fall and bus loads of Canadian snowbirds from NB and ONā€¦ in the fall too. do a lot of SMERF stuff too. In closing look around and think of your target market and pick a name that will appeal to themā€¦ i like the Stafford INN one recommended few post back made me remember the 80sā€¦any how ā€œkeep passing the open windowā€¦ā€ PS\>\>\> SMERF. Abr. In the hospitality industry, an acronym for Social, Military, Educational, Religious, Fraternal, indicating a market segment for the sales of banqueting rooms and meeting facilities. ---
