To not have a guest computer is outrageous. My husbands wallet with money!!, credit cards, ss card, memberships.... I needed a computer to stop cards and print items and access my files. We're 80 and traveling by public transport. Room was lovely, small restaurant had good food but few choices for vegetarian or vegan.
