I hear what you are saying and that is my main point about the cookie cutter AIs. Less experienced travelers are very likely to feel more comfy there as are those with younger kids....the cookie cutters tend to get more (generally) new travelers...heightened security sets folks at ease...I guess...LOL

I can also SORTA understand if a property has a "no overnight guests...or pay for him/her" policy, as this discourages random/ill-thought-out hookups with nefarious opportunistic characters of questionable backgrounds. But to me, the practice of not allowing a REGISTERED local guest on site for a beer or meal...is tantamount to, well...dare I say it? I won't bother but...

You might be able to pick up what I am saying. It's redonkulous. It's a shame.
