If you do look outside of SPG/Marriott, there's a boutique called South Place that's outstanding.

Marriott Park Lane. Top notch service and an excellent lounge. Nice suites if you bag an upgrade - I got park view 2-bedroom suite last time I was there

Don’t do Marriott Grosvenor Square (the other Marriott in the same area). I didn’t realize there were other good SPG options so I switched to Hyatt. The Churchill is an excellent hotel but Hyatt’s program isn’t great.

From London here. Answer is none! They all look and feel like 100 years old and way overpriced

(Same as in NYC, difference is we don’t have a St Regis anymore)

The JW is really nice as mentioned above, staying at The Edition in January for the first time. Park Lane Marriott wasn’t bad either, newer rooms than the JW.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
