Leading Iowa design firm creates original Web site for The Nichols Family, owners of the Hannah Marie Country Inn Bed and Breakfast Inn, located just a few miles south of downtown
Spencer, Iowa.
"We didn't throw a huge party to celebrate," but the launch of the Hannah Marie's new Web site is another example of one Iowa company driving the success of another," said
TotalWebDesigner.com general manager Amelia Painter from her office on Main Street in Fostoria, Iowa.
The Hannah Marie Country Inn is an award winning bed & breakfast featuring queen feathered beds, goose-down comforters, double in-room whirlpools, bubbles, softened water, central air
and heat, and one of the most dedicated family of innkeepers in the area. The Hannah Marie provides garden fresh foods to all guests and a tasty breakfast is always included. The inn is
named after Mary's mother, who grew up on a farm nearby, but it is truly a family affair with husband Ray attending to the business side, and son David overseeing the kitchen.
The updated Web site, located at www.hannahmarieinn.com includes numerous interior and exterior photos of each room at the B&B emphasizing features the inn has to offer. We wanted the
visitors to be able to see what accommodations are waiting for them as well as reserve their accommodations right online," says innkeeper, Mary Nichols.
The Web site not only explains to visitors how guests are pampered and what additional amenities are available at the inn, but it also chronicles some of the joyous moments a variety of
visitors have experienced over the years . The Hannah Marie Country Inn is an inspected and approved member of the Iowa Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers Association and innkeeper, Mary
Nichols is the current President of the organization.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that all member inns are approved and inspected. Inn inspections are conducted by a staff member that is thorough in scope, covering safety and
security items as well as appearance, comfort, and cleanliness. Food preparation, amenities and administrative items are also evaluated as part of the inspection. According to Nichols
every member inn "must pass a rigorous inspection to insure compliance with Association standards. IBBIA is the only Innkeeper Association in the State of Iowa that requires such close
scrutiny of their membership, but this policy lets guests know that our inns will automatically deliver a consistently clean, comfortable and professional experience.
Bed and breakfast accommodations give visitors a unique and personalized travel experience with a touch of local flavor. They have gained so much popularity that a national consumer's
magazine highlighting the best of these unique lodging experiences was recently launched and the Hannah Marie Country Inn is the first Iowa inn to be featured in the publication. The
premier issue hit the shelves of more than 11,000 book stores and news stands on September 20, 2005. You can pick-up your copy at a nearby Barnes & Noble, Borders or Hastings book
store or visit the magazines Web site at www.bedandbreakfastamerica.net for subscription information.
