Sheraton Long Island and Sheraton JFK come to mind
Think one became a homeless shelter.
But Starwood kept them despite the fact they needed to pull the franchise agreements
At the end of the day the reasons are still the same this a revenue stream they would rather not risk losing.
You can bet if a new investor shows up and wishes to a better job in Hono with Hyatt branding the current franchise might clean up their act or move on to as The Ramada Grand where
no benefits or recognition are necessary
My guess is the cost to litigate a property into compliance is so costly companies turn the blind eye
to keep the revenue stream going.It’s takes growing a big pair to stop this business behavior and my guess is it won’t change anytime soon as hotel companies
settle to have a brand presence good or bad in a given area
The owners have spoken loud and clear they are in control not Hyatt on their terms.
We saw this to some degree with Andaz Wall Street NYC where it opened as a stellar world class property and then
the owners whittled it away until it was a shell of it former self and ironically another somewhat deficient Centric today.Really what a fall from grace
Great memories of what it once was and glad I got to experience it at the top of their game
When Hyatt is performing on point they are in a league of their own to their credit
this property doesn’t fit that model whatsoever sadly.
