Here’s your late-summer reminder to book a room at your own property. 👀

Not literally, of course! But go through the same online booking process your guests experience.
Try it from your phone and ask yourself:

📱 Is everything easy to read and navigate?
📸 Are your best photos showing first?
🛏️ Are room descriptions clear and accurate?
💲 Are rates, packages, and policies easy to understand?
✅ Can guests complete their reservation without getting confused?
A quick test booking can uncover small issues that may be standing between a traveler and a completed reservation.

When was the last time you tested your own booking engine?

Love seeing Lake Reno Resort, Camp Holiday Resort & Campground, and Mission Beach Resort in the spotlight! Congrats to all six featured Minnesota resorts 🙌

AI is changing how travelers find their next place to stay, and that could be good news for independent lodging properties. 🤖🏨

Unlike traditional searches that tend to favor the biggest brands and booking platforms, AI can help travelers find properties based on the details that make them truly unique: their location, design, personality, amenities, and guest experience.

But there’s a catch: your information needs to be clear and consistent everywhere guests AND AI tools might find you.

That means regularly reviewing your:
✅ Website content
✅ Room and unit descriptions
✅ Amenities and policies
✅ Google Business Profile
✅ Booking engine
✅ Third-party listings

Your property doesn’t need to sound like every other hotel. In fact, the more clearly you communicate what makes it different, the easier it may be for the right guests to find you.

Our blog shares practical ways to improve your mobile experience, simplify the booking process, and turn more mobile visitors into confirmed reservations.
