Oh wow I’ve been looking for this part of the study. I’d only seen the results summary from the conference.

What else would he be doing on lex???

Unfortunately that only exists in hotel form and you probably don’t want to think about who’s going to the “every room is a suite with a hot tub” hotel often enough to keep them in business
