???? The people who live here sound like their lives are being upended by some people who want to sell drugs. I feel bad for people who are trying to live their lives and are calling the police but clearly nothing major has been done to correct a few peoples behavior in the building.StlAlex wrote: ↑12:11 AM - Jul 07Should be worth reminding that actual real humans live here and their lives will be made even more difficult so the AG can get some political points.
There's a genuine scenario where they shut it down, and then it just sits vacant while homelessness goes up and crime just moves somewhere else, like a park downtown. All so the AG could get a gold TV 1-liner.

So the solution to "help" the people calling the police is to take their home away?? Gee what a helpful government lmao.mjbais1489 wrote:????

Would it be better to continue to let those renters suffer and let people keep selling drugs? Who does that help? I guess the drug dealers?
I’ve found that a lot of local hotels are not well maintained compared to national and international brand peers. Thought I don’t think it’s unique to STL. Have had similar issues in Indianapolis recently.addxb2 wrote:I’m staying at Union Station this weekend. Stayed at Courtyard Marriott at the Convention Center last visit. Cheshire visit before last. Lowe’s at BPV before that.
Wondering if any other outsiders who visit frequently have been disappointed in STLs hospitality chops or do I just have high standards?
I know we have to do the "St. Louis sucks/everywhere else is better schtick". We get it. But I disagree.addxb2 wrote: ↑8:14 PM - Sep 25I’m staying at Union Station this weekend. Stayed at Courtyard Marriott at the Convention Center last visit. Cheshire visit before last. Lowe’s at BPV before that.

But the hospitality industry has declined nationwide. Brands aren't holding franchisees to standards regardless whether it be the cheap highway motel or a luxury hotel in a big city. Both Hilton and Marriott groups just stink now.
I will say Hyatt hotels seem to be holding standards. The problem is they're 1/12th the footprint of each of those big guys.
My solution when traveling for work or pleasure is to book a newer property or something that got a gut rehab: preferably in the last 5 years. I'd rather stay at a newer Hampton Inn or Fairfield Inn over an older Conrad or Marriott.
