This is an exchange that I had with the Hotel Tropix a couple of years ago. Take it for what it is worth.

Sylvie,
Thank you. I certainly have that intention. And may your business interests prosper and be free of unsavory characters such as myself.
I have enjoyed our exchanges immensely. And I was serious about wanting to meet you when I am there. Perhaps we could meet in a public place away from your establishment so that I don't sully it. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/13.gif

Why Sylvie, if you insist on referring to those poor young ladies as whores, the next thing you know, you'll be referring to me as a whoremonger. I'm insulted, i'm mortified, i'm...caught. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/11.gif
And why would you think I am the kind of person who would not pay the agreed price for a service rendered? In all seriousness, I always pay my just debts. I have found that in doing so, I have far fewer difficulties than the prople whom I know who don't.
As I looked further at your property, I see that it is intimate and also serves as your home. Certainly I would not want to defile you home with such unsavory activities. I would not do the same to my home either, which explains why I'm going to another country, without bringing any witnesses, for my vacation. I appreciate your candor in the matter.
You have kept me entertained. When I come to town, I would like to stop by to meet you, and perhaps, have one of those delicious meals that are mentioned in the reviews of your establishment.

The young ladies who provide “company” as you so drolly put it are known as whores/thieves in this neck of the woods, and the only cultural information you may garner from them is the rapid loss of your wallet, or the crash of glass, if an agreed-upon price is not met, for example. I don’t need this kind of “culture” in my nice little hotel.
Regards,
Sylvie

Hi Silvie,
I know what the word thwarted means. I was just asking you what you specifically meant by it in relation to the young ladies who provide company. I was really looking for specific, perhaps cultural things, from which I might learn so that I avoid pitfalls while there. I also admit that my question was a bit tongue in cheek as indicated by the emoticon.
You did, in fact, give an account of the room in your first email. Quite frankly, I had forgotten that it was there. Thank you for reminding me.

Look up thwarted in the dictionary for the best examples.
I don’t have pictures of the rooms at the moment. Look at the first email I sent you for a detailed description of the room

Hi Silvie,
Your website states that your rates start at $35 with discounts for longer stays. From where did the $38.50 come for a single person?
Also, could you give me a detailed description of the room which I would have, or even a picture if available.
I am curious as to what you mean by, "thwarted". http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/33.gif
Thanks.

$35 per night is the price with the discount already included (that’s $38.50 minus 10%), and that includes all taxes and fees, etc.
We do not really like prostitutes on our property, as they can cause loud problems when they’re thwarted. There are plenty of short term accommodations in town for these activities.
