10/10 Excellent
"The host is the host of course of course to the famous Mr. ED. Education of the reality theory that the best place that God had placed us was at 444 miles from where I started. It was incredible! Everything that I had in the past from the best houses where I had gardens, trees and even grape leaves with purple colors not like Oprah who can only helicopter into Maui and overlook society that was genocide of an energy weapon used to reverse the weather pattern at the same time a pineapple company would figure that instead of fixing electric lines it is best to put them into a portal and come out the other side. THIS PLACE WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DESERT ROSE INN which I always stayed at until they turned it into a zoo. The gardens were a great plus, and I wish we could have stayed longer so reserve early and stay as long as you can to the gardens of Zion and the national parks as it is quiet and convenient next to the bluffs and near the petroglyphs from 2500 years ago. It was what ROCKY would say is ABSOLUTELY the best place to stay and not living in a camper van like Sylvester and Arnold. It was a great place to finish, "The book" not like the snotty French Canadian and Zionist that I encountered on the Camino de Santiago. I have been in 21 countries and didn't know why but this was planned and executed so well. 444 means God sent Angels to make my Ukrainian wife and I laughing at the synchronicities of the noodles and snacks and swings!"
