Hotel Impossible season 7 episode 108, titled "5 Star CT: All for the Honey," follows the host, Anthony Melchiorri, as he visits a luxury bed and breakfast in Connecticut. The Mayflower Inn, known for its scenic surroundings and charming aesthetic, has been in business for 100 years and poses a challenge for Melchiorri to revamp its operations.
Upon arrival, Melchiorri discovers that the Mayflower Inn is suffering from a lack of attention to detail and inconsistent service that has resulted in negative online reviews. He closely examines the Inn and identifies several areas that need improvement, including maintaining cleanliness, offering better food options, and improving the overall guest experience.
Melchiorri works closely with the staff to implement necessary changes that will improve the Inn's operations and enhance the guest experience. This includes revamping the rooms with modern amenities like smart TVs and mini-refrigerators, upgrading the bedding and linens, and training the staff to provide personalized and attentive service.
One significant challenge that Melchiorri faces is the issue of the honeybees on the property. The Inn's chef, Jonathan, relies heavily on the honey produced by the bees for his gourmet dishes. However, the beekeeping operation has been neglected, and the bees are becoming sickly and dying off.
To address this issue, Melchiorri brings in a local beekeeper, Tom, to overhaul the beekeeping operation. Tom provides valuable insights on how to manage the bees to ensure that they thrive and produce high-quality honey.
Throughout the episode, Melchiorri works tirelessly with the staff to turn the Mayflower Inn into a five-star destination. With Melchiorri's guidance, the Inn undergoes a complete transformation that helps it to stand out among the competition.
By the end of the episode, Melchiorri leaves the Mayflower Inn, confident that the changes implemented will improve the guest experience and increase the Inn's revenue. The viewers are left with the inspiring story of how a century-old Inn can be reborn into a five-star destination.
