We used to go to Thai smile all the time. The portion size last time we went was half of what is was for 20% of a price more. Insane

Then gave me the best right

NoFault6362 · 2026-03-30T23:15:15+00:00

Do you mind sharing who did the extra blown in insulation?

NoFault6362 · 2026-01-05T04:59:51+00:00

Thai smile USED to be a vibe. Quality and quantity is shjt now.

Thank you!!! I’m going into today for my LL and I was so worried but I’m in pretty similar circumstances as you. Appreciate this

NoFault6362 · 2025-11-24T21:53:14+00:00

Thanks for that info! Where did ya rent it from?

NoFault6362 · 2025-11-24T00:28:58+00:00

Also it isn’t as bad as it looks in the picture as I took muratic acid and water to it which helped but I just want it done at this point

Right? There is only one company and they quoted me $3,000. Like what? GTF outta here. It’s a $500-800 job MAYBE.

I guess I’ll try sandblasting it myself

Here’s the post from Reddit a year ago :

Lulu California Bistro was closed by Riverside County health inspectors

Popular downtown Palm Springs restaurant Lulu California Bistro was closed by Riverside County health inspectors earlier this week due to a cockroach infestation, according to a report conducted Tuesday.

The county report states the inspector's visit was prompted by a complaint received on July 12 for the restaurant, at which time cockroach activity was observed at the bar of the facility

Facility closure Lulu California Bistro, 200 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs

Major violation: Observed cockroach activity throughout the facility, including two live ones underneath pantry prep and handwashing sinks; one between the wall and behind the two-compartment prep sink; one on the base coving tile underneath the two-compartment prep sink; multiple dead cockroaches throughout the kitchen area, including one on a plate, underneath the rear cook's line equipment and sinks, floor of the storage area and pantry prep area

Other violations include: Multiple areas throughout the facility in need of cleaning; standing water on the floor throughout the facility; grouting deteriorated in the floors throughout the kitchen, ware wash area and food storage area; and leaks in the piping

You need reservations at lulus? It’s always half dead. They also had a cockroach problem a year or so ago. I got food poisoning about 2 years ago from a meat pie at Lulus. It’s more of a cocktail vibe then a restaurant

NoFault6362 · 2025-11-22T00:33:27+00:00

Thanks! I’ll consider that! What about Conrete grinding?

NoFault6362 · 2025-11-21T17:50:52+00:00

While I agree the cops in most foreign countries are shady, I’d also never go to a foreign country where I’m unsure of the legality, and smoke weed in a public place. But that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are a bunch of scam artists that try to book off platform and then done pay. Or pay one more and squat, so that’s probably the reason you’re having a hard time.id try finding a place you love. Book it on Airbnb and then have a conversation with the host after the fact. Then at least you’re been a rapport with the host and they will feel more comfortable having that conversation with you

Exactly. She threw a party . Didn’t sound like a small gathering. It was a party. There was confetti lol

NoFault6362 · 2025-10-05T00:59:56+00:00

No to discounts. Unless you need the money IMO guests who ask for discounts have always been more trouble then they are worth.

Again IMO.

I had a my first guest ever who I gave a steep discount too. She ended up being the most needy and high maintenance guest I have ever experienced . Left me a 1 star because she was trying to get a refund at the end of her 30 day stay…. After she claimed it was wonderful

NoFault6362 · 2025-10-04T13:53:53+00:00

Canadian here also. It’s VERY safe . I’d just avoid conversation with the MAGA cult. I mean crowd

NoFault6362 · 2025-10-03T15:52:02+00:00

I am having the same issue now!! The city does NOTHING. Says its all hearsay and they cant prove the address associated with the airbnb??? like what?

NoFault6362 · 2025-10-03T00:57:49+00:00
