ok, well before I was reading the input like this def self.menu
      puts "---------------------------"
      puts "      Menu"
      puts "  1. Checkin"
      puts "  2. Checkout"
      puts "  3. List of current guests"
      puts "  4. List of all guests"
      puts "  5. Exit"
      puts ""
      puts " What do you want to do?"
      puts "---------------------------"
      print ": "
      choice = get_input
      make_choice(choice)
    end
But with the current upgrade Im just receiving an undefined local 
variable or method. So I was thinking instead something like this: 
@options = gets.chomp. Is that stupid. I am terribly new at Ruby.
