Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a curfew?
Nope! We ask that guests be mindful between the hours of 10pm and 10am, as others may
like to sleep late or early, but all guests may come and go as they please.
Is smoking permitted?
Escape is a non-smoking house, and no smoking is permitted indoors. However, smoking is
permitted in our garden, and there is a canopy to protect from rain or strong sun.
What about that cat?
Rocky is a middle-aged Siamese mix. He lives on the top floor (with our proprietor), but may
come to visit the common areas (our Parlour, dining room, and garden). He is not permitted
in our guest rooms.
What about stairs?
Our Traveler, Canopy, and Ensuite rooms are at ground level, just three steps down.
Our Courtiers and Queen rooms are on the second floor, up two standard flights of stairs.
