Was chatting to a GM in USM today who said the owner has 16 properties in Thailand.

The Westin was falling apart from the moment it was built. I recall light switches installed upside down from day one, then tiles falling off, walls cracking etc.

It will need to close and have a serious rebuild.

That said, I believe the RC USM isn’t up to the usual RC standard and Mariott can’t do very much.
