    They don't rent to locals I just wanted to have a nice hotel for me and my partner because he didn't have a way to get back home we ended up having to sleep in my car I understand why they don't want to locals so they're trying to reduce people using their facilities as sex workers but we got harassed by homeless people and it was a terrifying experience and it took forever for the money to come back onto my card

    Darlene is a lovely host. We enjoyed visiting with her at breakfast and a tour of her garden. The garden is fabulous - a lovely place to relax. Breakfast was great. We stayed in the twin room which was a bit crowded for the two of us and our luggage but comfortable and quiet.
