Where is this located? How many people are in the town? Did they not advertise or put any extra outside work into the business? 200 clients a year is horrible. We've had almost 1400 clients in less then 11 months our first year.

It seems as if they were definitely not doing something right. If it was me and it was in a decent location i'd think about it. If you could work something out and get rid of 3 or 4 of the beds and get the total price cheaper it might be worth it. I bet the current owner just needs out, so you might be able to get a good deal on it. Plus, the name in a home town might be good with 10 years in business. Just advertise the crap out of it with "new owners" and completely revamp the place and get a couple decent beds.
