I don't know if it is a pattern, but I have the same issue with the MO NYC - except that its service to guests isn't even that great. I mean, given how much food and beverage from nonresidents contributes to the bottom line, you'd think they would pay more attention. Having said that, I pick the Oriental Bangkok over the Pen every time - I prefer the crowd and the service there (and no, I'm not in my 50s).
