Spring at Gabriel's in Provincetown
The last blog was talking about Valentines Day!
I've been a remiss blogger!

What makes Select Registry different?
Perhaps the most important distinction between a Select Registry member inn and any other is our system of quality assurance. Select Registry carries out a quality assurance inspection of each of its nearly 400 inns. This program involves independent inspectors - not employees of Select Registry - with years of experience in the hospitality industry. The inspectors arrive anonymously, spend the night, and evaluate the inn based on a detailed point system, which translates into a pass/fail grade for the inn. Inns applying for membership are inspected periodically as are existing member inns. Not all have what it takes to pass the inspections. Thus, this process provides a guarantee to the traveling public that a Select Registry inn is in a class of its own. A recent Internet directory identified over 20,000 country inns and B&Bs in the United States and Canada. Only a select few are members of the Select Registry. No other online directory or organization of innkeepers has a comparable inspection program. In fact, a recent New York Times article noted that the proliferation of "inns" has resulted in an industry that is misrepresented, lacks quality control, and charges widely varying room rates. With its rigorous inspection program, Select Registry has established quality as a hallmark of its member properties.
Select Registry doesn't rank our members with diamonds or stars, although many of our members carry the high ratings you'd expect from various groups who evaluate inns and B&Bs. If you're a member of Select Registry, you're the cream of the crop. All of our inns are "the best" - and our inspections prove it!

On the Whale front...
Endangered whales gather
in unprecedented numbers
Boaters have been warned to be on the lookout for right whales around Cape Cod Bay.
What scientists say is the largest concentration of endangered right whales ever spotted in one location is giving researchers an unusually rich opportunity to study the animals and their feeding habits.
But the gathering, an annual affair in the chilly spring waters off Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts, also raises the threat of boats striking the 70-ton mammals, according to the state Division of Marine Fisheries. The agency has posted an advisory to boaters urging them to be on the lookout for the whales and steer clear.

We are actually going on a whale watch tomorrow and I think that will be the contents of the next blog post!
We look forward to seeing you at Gabriel's this spring and ask us about discounted whale watching tickets!
