Smart Space Solutions: More Than Just Heads In Beds
When it comes to boosting occupancy, it's tempting to simply add more beds wherever they'll fit. However, this approach can lead to cramped spaces and unhappy guests. Instead, focus on these smart space-planning techniques:

1. Flow is key: Ensure guests can move around comfortably, even with luggage. A study by the Hospitality Design Institute found that guests are 40% more likely to leave positive reviews for spaces they perceive as "open" and "easy to navigate."
2. Privacy matters: Create separate sleeping areas where possible, using room dividers or clever furniture placement. We know that guests value privacy AND togetherness.
3. Storage is a must: Provide ample space for guests to unpack and feel at home.
4. Multi-functional magic: Invest in furniture that serves dual purposes, like storage ottomans or stylish sofa beds.

Remember, a well-designed space not only accommodates more guests but also leads to better reviews and repeat bookings.
