Hosp on the Box: The Hotel Inspector - Harrogate Motel

Episode 2 is summarised on catch-up service My5 as:

"Alex turns her attention to a hotel located in the grounds of a stable, where the horses enjoy five-star facilities but human guests are treated less well."

 Alex finds a business that is stable on the stable side only. Her design team work their magic on the nine rooms. Negative connotations of the term motel lead to change in nomenclature from Harrogate Motel to Harrogate Country B&B. Jazzy website and nods to horses in all the right places. Equine press are impressed and will recommend. 


Key themes:

  • Managing expectations
  • Cross selling
  • Consistency
  • Breakfast presentation
  • Branding
  • Review management
