Types of property include:

offer a lounge for relaxation. If meals are provided they will be
taken in a family-style kitchen or dining room with other guests
often seated around the same table.

separate rooms with shared facilities and communal eating
arrangements. (Only in Stanley)

often taken at tables shared with other guests. Most have an
“honesty bar” system.

from a car parking area. (Only in Stanley)
