Touty "Sleep" listings[edit]

Should we summarily delete all listings that, based on their phrasing, were obviously added by self-interested parties, albeit perhaps some time ago, or should we detout them? Examples:

  • [www.williamshouse.com The Amelia Island Williams House], 103 S. 9th St. Amelia Island, FL (take the Amelis Island exit off I-95), (800) 414-9258. Check-in: 3 p.m. - 6 p.m., check-out: 11 a.m.. The Williams House Bed & Breakfast is one of Amelia Island’s grandest historic homes. Romance, relaxation and history combine at this southern Victorian inn, a classic antebellum mansion built in 1856. The Inn is surrounded by fine dining, shopping and the historic district of Fernandina Beach which is bordered by the intercoastal waterway on the left and just steps away from the grand Atlantic Ocean on the right. $195-$275.
  • Amelia Hotel at the Beach, 1997 S. Fletcher Ave. (I-95 to exit 373. Go east about 12 miles then right on Sadler. Dead end at hotel on left.), 877-263-5428. Check-in: 4:00 PM, check-out: 11:00 AM. Amelia Hotel at the Beach is a locally owned and operated boutique-style hotel centrally located on beautiful Amelia Island, FL.

  • Residence Inn Amelia Island Florida Hotel, 2301 Sadler Road (Fernandina Beach, Florida , 32034), 904-277-2440. Residence Inn Amelia Island is a new Amelia Island hotel in Fernandina Beach, Florida with suite lodging located within walking distance to the beach and ocean front restaurants.

I think if we're being consistent, we should delete all these listings and possibly this one, too, though it's much easier to detout if we like:

  • Hoyt House Inn, 804 Atlantic Avenue, 800-432-2085, . A magnificently restored 1905 Queen Anne Historic Mansion with 10 luxurious rooms, heated pool and spa, near fine dining, the beaches, and everything historic. its quite comfortable, mate.

If we do delete all those listings, only the following would remain, and even this one is a bit questionable:

  • Ameilia Island Ocean View Condo. Great summer or winter rental; clean, convenient, and affordable. Second floor nicely furnished condo, with 2 bedrooms and 1 recently remodeled bath with walk in shower. The condo is located on S. Fletcher Ave across the street from the beautiful beach. Well-equipped kitchen, living room/dining room that is clean and comfortable. Condo is centrally located and is convenient to historic downtown Fernandina Beach, and other Island attractions. Shopping, dining, and outdoor activities nearby. Large furnished deck allows for outdoor dining. Outdoor shower available for after-beach clean up. 80$/night.

So what do you think? Should we keep only the last listing or two, pruned of unnecessary location touting and such, or should we delete all the "Sleep" listings and start from scratch? What would best serve the traveler? Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:17, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
