Thank you, I'll report to tech


Also, The Cosmopolitan in Vegas is a Marriott property.
This part is part of why I hate the hotel review badge system. According to Wikipedia, "It is owned by The Blackstone Group, Stonepeak Partners, and Cherng Family Trust and operated by MGM Resorts International."

So I assume they have some kind of partnership with Marriott of points and licensing. And how am I supposed to know this? For every property? This is not a slight against you in any way, just venting some frustration.

Could you please provide a screenshot of the error?

Interesting. On Marriott's website, the hotel is clearly an Autograph brand hotel. However on the hotel's own website, there is no mention at all of Autograph and/or Marriott, unless I missed it.

So I can see the justification for this rant...

This should now be fixed

Any news on this? None of my first time reviewed properties have been added.

Nothing has changed yet. None of my reviews have been added. Did you have time to look into this problem IBJoel ?

Also, as echoed by other poster above, some previously reviewed hotels are not showing as listed when trying to do new reviews. My reviews have led to duplicates at this point.

Hi guys,

So IBMyke was assigned to do all of these. He didn't, obviously. Now there's a huge backlog and I can finally get around to them now (probably quick and dirty) that we have another person on the team (Myke is gone).

I will tell you guys that these are really not a priority up the chain. The reviews cause tech issues and have not been the moneymaker we hoped they'd be.

You have put into words what has been quietly apparent for quite some time now: hotel reviews are not a priority on FT and will no longer be maintained or perhaps only the bare minimum which means the tech issues will not get any better ... it feels like an abandoned ship. It is what it is, I wish it had been more of a success.

It's been a good run, after positing a few hundred hotel reviews here in the last few years, I will now graciously exit. That shall help with the backlog :D;)
