Where is this place anyway???

So... I am running in the Bisbee 1000 marathon the weekend of October 17th. I am in the process of begging   asking someone to join me. I get scared all alone in a small town, one I dont think I have ever been to either. Today I actually muster some courage to register myself for this and find a hotel room to stay in Friday night before the race... and maybe for Saturday night after I die from exhaustion. Decisions, Decisions.

Anywho... I am looking at a local Bisbee website for a hotel. Preferrably one that does not tout, "Historic and many guests have said they have seen ghosts". Really??? I do not need to be worrying about a ghost from a far away past life, while walking the hallways to my room. I am hoping these "ghosts" are not those of past Bisbee 1000 marathons.

Then, I find a hotel. Seems nice, price is right, no scary apparitions to brag about.... and then this,

Children 10 and up OK. Children 9 & under subject to review

I am sorry... but what? Then I read further on all of the other listings and they pretty much let you know, dogs...yes, but children are subject to approval. WTH???

Point is, I am going up with probably 2 girlfriends. There will be not one child with us, but as a mother of a young child, I am, well, on my soap box I guess.

So now, I look forward to... 2 girlfriends, kicking and screaming, most likely from the trunk of a car, a hotel that states your child is "subject to review" but dogs are perfectly welcome, 1000+ stairs to climb at 7am, and a ghost walking my hallway.
