Nay, whatever comes one hour was sunlit and the most high gods may not make boast of any better thing than to have watched that hour as it passed

hmmm, looks nice and clean and good views...
I guess advertising's got to be the most important thing for a hotel after that, people can't call to book if they don't know you exist, but the website seems good, is it listed on hotel search sites?
Otherwise, I duuno, host a convention?

The website looks Ok although a little dated but prices are OK. I guess you need to do some research. Are all the hotels in the area having similar problems, or just you? If others are drawing in more crowds what do they have that you don't? What is your prime market, families? business? Is there an untapped market that you haven't considered, or are you just not making the most of what you have re. advertising? What type of people visit your area, what would entice them to come to you over the competition? Price, or extras? Its difficult to give any advice without knowing more about your market and area etc.. Hope things pick up!
Maybe a customer survey would help!

Life moves pretty fast and if you don't stop and look around once in a while you just might miss it!

pools are a good draw but we can't do that
our prices are less than most
we have weddings and conferences
we have a good breakfast and a 24 fitness center as well as business center with free internet
it seems mostly to be businesses
right now we are poking around trying to find out what people might want
advertising is a bit iffy-management doesn't seem too interested in that
stuff is outdated-we aren't even the park east any more
----
second question how do we get management/owners interested in investing time with us when it looks like we were a bad realty investment
come on now i see you checking me out
