I have worked in various hospitality positions and am building a valuation/business plan for a small property. This book had many great points I had overlooked. Additionally, it gave me many points to ponder personally, with regards to running the property.
Highly recommended… not only for the hospitality industry.

I have a small, family-run hotel, so many of the things he talks about (the huge mega resorts on private islands) don’t directly apply to me. Eventually we DO want to grow to a larger hotel, and the tips he has to offer will certainly be useful. He talks about considerations like which way rooms face (east/west, etc), and how to get guests to forgive construction mess and when not to push their buttons. It is obvious that the author has traveled extensively, and has taken note of everything he thinks would be helpful. He includes countless stories and personal observations. It’s easy to read and is broken down into small chapters. It’s the perfect book to keep in your car or bag for quick reads.
If you get this book and are the kind of person that wants an outline of “do THIS and then THAT will happen,” don’t expect the book to lay everything out for you. This is an awesome resource for a way to get ideas flowing in your own mind about how to set up and run your hotel.

Peter Venison knows what he is writing about, and knows how to write well. His “100 Tips for Hoteliers” is easy to read and every page gives you ideas about what to do better in your own business, hospitality or not.
This is one of the few books on hotel or resort management which acknowledges that things can go wrong too. Peter Venison shows how to deal with endless rain or falling off bed legs and many more of the daily troubles reality puts in our plate. “101 Tips for Hoteliers” is far more to the point than the hospitality management classics written from the viewpoint of managers who avoid leaving their A/C offices. I recommend it to every new and every old hotel or resort manager.
