I met Rob & Connie when they were working at Elk Cove Inn on the Mendocino Coast. I was most impressed by their warmth toward guests, respect for the inn owner, and overall attractiveness in how they present themselves. I found Rob and Connie to be highly responsive to the many responsibilities involved in managing a bed and breakfast. It is a demanding job, though they do it with a sense of easy going professionalism! I highly recommend giving Rob and Connie a chance to show how well they can do as innkeepers and / or property managers.
