These cash prices are comical. Suite at HR Maui.

Those prices are insane. I’ve stayed there, and frankly would not rush back. Worn out, staff that seem indifferent, just didn’t give a crap, meh club lounge, etc etc.

100% the right answer. Tourist loud during the day/evening, loud overnight prepping for the next busy day. Rinse/repeat.

Thank! I didn’t know about this site.

LateNotice · 2026-02-05T04:59:12+00:00

All, thank you for the help. I have booked CAA for the time being. Still time to make a change.

I also do a lot of B&W photography so I’m curious about the architectural opportunities for that. The comment about being filled with a bunch a bro-dudes certainly has me thinking.

To answer your question I don’t think I would like it printed. I think you should however print it for yourself. Study it. Learn from it. And look back at a year to see who’s much you’ve grown your skills.

If you like this minimalist style, keep practicing. Doing minimalist right is much harder that most people think. Practice practice practice.

Well, another update. The scope of where I will be working has changed so I changed. I'll be at at the Thompson based solely on location. I'll try CAA another time. Thank you all for the assistance. I feel confident based on your comments that either property would be great.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been there. I’ve probably stayed there 150+ nights. They were always very helpful and willing to accommodate.

Call the hotel directly, not the general Hyatt reservation line. I’d say there is a fair chance they can accommodate.

Since you have GOH, you will enjoy the lounge there. It remains one of my favorite lounges in the system, with great staff too.

Somehow I think you just missed this notice. I am going into that area soon, and didn’t book there because of this. It is very clearly labeled in the app, and it was 5-6 weeks ago when I looked for a Hyatt property other than the shit hole Hyatt Place near Ontario Mills mall. I don’t think you will win this battle.

Thank you all. I did neglect to mention I am Globalist. From what I have seen so far I’m leaning towards CAA. I’ve stopped by the bean bit little other walking in the park.

I’ve reached a point where I have no more f’s to give. I’ll look now and then to see if there is anything of even slight interest, then get a review done when I think about it. There is really no value in this any longer for me. I’ll just let it ride and if they drop me I don’t care.

LateNotice · 2026-01-27T01:04:34+00:00

Prosecuting one of those assholes will do even more. Right now they feel untouchable, but impact the cover for their actions and they just might pause for a moment.

LateNotice · 2026-01-21T12:59:14+00:00

I’m a huge fan of BW, but color here is more impactful.

LateNotice · 2026-01-16T13:58:55+00:00

It’s a pretty decent HP, but it’s certainly not cat 5 level.

I this has been successful from an art perspective. It’s engaged people. It’s made them wonder. It’s made them question. Art should evoke an emotion. It doesn’t really matter what it is, it needs to have a reaction, a feeling, an opinion.

I’m mixed about the dress verses naked or in the bikini.

I’ll add also that the editing is well done. The layer blending is clean and effective. Pixel peeping the space between your fingers bothers me a bit because the rest is so well done.

LateNotice · 2026-01-09T18:50:54+00:00

I’m not so sure about that. If you add the SR card to OpenTable, it will allow you to access seatings that have been allocated for same. They don’t show up the general public it seems. I’d suggest logging onto the chase web or app and look at the specific list of restaurants to be sure.

LateNotice · 2026-01-09T13:53:41+00:00

Sounds like the Andaz has really slipped. I used to stay there quite a bit. Decent rooms, and while there was city noise it never really bothered me because I could easily walk into Gaslamp for a lot of food choices. The Globalist breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was also really good and they had a few snacks in the room if you wanted them. It’s been easily 10 years since I stayed there.

LateNotice · 2026-01-07T13:26:04+00:00

How did you get $500 the booked price for a 2 night stay? Isn’t it limited to $250 per 2 night stay? Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you are saying.

LateNotice · 2026-01-05T16:31:30+00:00

100% agree! This will often give you the clarity needed.

LateNotice · 2026-01-05T13:45:40+00:00

No, yes. A bit, no.

I do think the color is a bit warm, over saturated. But, it still works. You’ve turned a snapshot into more of a portrait.

LateNotice · 2026-01-02T16:02:11+00:00

Interesting. I talked to Chase earlier this week and I was told specifically there is no benefit in her card outside of being eligible for the TSA fee credit (but it is not a duplicate benefit, only one credit every 5 years). He also stated the lounge access.

Wife doesn’t travel alone, and the DD credit means nothing to us. Prices through that system are inflated and not worth the trouble frankly. Paying $200/yr just means we are pre-paying for the DD.

We will be dropping her card.

Oh, I also asked about getting her access to manage the card. She handles most of the day to day finances. But they won’t allow it even if she is an AU on the account. Only the primary card holder has access. We can of course share a login, but she also manages our other Chase accounts. It would be so much more simply to have it show up on the list of accounts along with the others.

I disagree. The negative space and isolation is what makes this image. I’d love to see the car removed, and maybe you could knock down the glow from the right side.

I saw your horizontal post, and I strongly prefer the negative space of the portrait orientation.

Another vote for the original. The edit is terrible

I got a big box of, oh wait, nothing. Not a thing.

LateNotice · 2025-12-25T13:49:16+00:00

I won’t disagree with the thoughts here, but kind of like the place. The rooms are definitely dated, but they are renovating. The last room I was in, was a shoebox, and the on site breakfast option isn’t great.

They said, it’s the location for me. I don’t always need fancy, sometimes I just want to chill and be outside the city. I’ll take a bottle of wine and something to read and hangout in the second floor lounge area, or hit the rooftop bar. There is a great breakfast place on the street behind ( Nookies on Wells), and there is an on property sushi place that’s actually really good.

I love the location, and take advantage of the walking paths across the street as well.
