American Guest House Bed and Breakfast creates volunteer program for potential innkeepers and Bed & Breakfast owners
The American Guest House Bed and Breakfast in Washington D.C. has announced a special volunteer program, which not only teaches, but gives hands-on training in becoming an innkeeper, and ultimately running your own Bed & Breakfast.
The Volunteer program requires that volunteers give a minimum of 15 hours per week and the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast trains them in all B&B duties.
Volunteers not only learn to clean, change a light bulb, unclog a toilet, and repair TV/cable problems, but they also learn to set a table correctly, cook breakfast, process check-ins/check-outs, advertising, front desk work, and computer work in general.
As an innkeeper and/or owner of a Bed & Breakfast, one must learn every aspect of the business and be able to do everything themselves; otherwise he or she will not survive the high costs of running a small business.
Furthermore, the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast is the perfect B&B to learn such skills. Located in the heart of Washington D.C., it manages to combine the intimacy and history of a classic B&B while acclimating itself to big city life- and it has been doing so for many years.
Built in 1898, the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast is in one of DC’s best and most active neighborhoods, offering great restaurants, bars and shops.
This area is popular with both local residents and tourists, as there is easy access to all tourist sights and attractions. That said, one might not even realize this potential for excitement is right outside the front door till he or she leaves the B&B.
One guest titled his review on TripAdvisor, "Very well run B&B in great location," and went on to say, "I was in DC for a full week for business and vacation. American Guest House Bed and Breakfast served my needs very well. Very attentive and friendly staff, outstanding breakfast, and unbeatable location for convenience and in a good neighborhood."
It is this attention to customer satisfaction and knowledge of DC's vast area that makes the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast the perfect establishment to oversee such a volunteer program.
