If you like hotels, this is the most fun you'll have on X today, I promise. Let's play a game: Introducing "Who Am I? (A Hotel Edition)" Take the following 5 clues and name the hotel. No Googling, no asking ChatGPT, no texting your hotel nerd friends...scout's honor. Your clues: 1. I opened in 1887 as a ten-room bungalow, run by four Armenian brothers. 2. I'm named after a man who never stayed with me. He died 61 years before I opened. 3. My city fines people for littering. 4. My bar asks you to throw your peanut shells on the floor. 5. In 1902, a tiger was shot under my billiard room. Guess in the comments. Answer tomorrow!

Free coffee and @PriteshSMB next week at Iris? You have to be crazy not to come

Awful service by @MarriottBonvoy and the team in Boston's Copley Square. Checked out, realized I had 2 shirts still hanging in the closet. Called front desk and was told that I needed to submit a claim form and they couldn't do anything until the housekeeping manager came in. 3 days later and multiple calls and they finally said the manager was out a few days and would look into it. No response, had to place 8 calls to the hotel. Finally was told by the front desk after they gave excuses for a week that they were busy and working on a system upgrade that they went and checked and couldn't find the shirts. No kidding! They probably were taken out when the next guest stayed there. I could literally walk into the room and point within an inch where both were hanging. They just didn't care enough to try. Talked to Bonvoy support, who could've at this point given me a free night as a consolation prize that there was nothing they would do since the manager wasn't able to help. The property is a mess, parking was awful in the garage downstairs. Thanks @MarriottBonvoy for treating your loyalty members so well.

Sad day for hoteliers. @Muse and @AAHOA and others could be working directly. Hoteliers hate OTAs. They would jump at the opportunity to give @Meta a higher % than they’re getting from the OTAs. @alexandr_wang You have an opportunity to cut out the middle man and sign up 60% of the supply directly.

Would you buy a truckload of Mashed Potatoes at 99.99% off? $80,052 bid to $100 Don’t tell me you’re not intrigued.

I’ve helped quite a few people get into relationships now [even one marriage & 2 engagements] & the biggest thing I notice is people all have a long list of what they expect, but don’t have a clear picture of who they are or what they can offer to a partner. You can want whatever you want. But the person you choose must also choose you. Lots of comments bashing Brooke for wanting a ‘post economic’ guy. That’s actually not hard to find at all, especially somewhere like sf. Guys with money are a dime a dozen. Some people think they’re post economic at 10M though and some people at 500M. That should be clearly defined if it’s an important quality. A guy who is 35-42, never been married or engaged & has no kids, but is capable of/has the tools to be a good husband, is marriage minded and decidedly wants kids? Much much much less likely to find that than an affable, fit, billionaire. ps I would’ve commented directly on the post, but she has me blocked despite our only interactions ever being me congratulating her on runs. So - if that’s any indicator, personality may also be a challenge to finding a partner here.
