I do find this of much interest, thank you Bill.
From what you have told us Bill, a property like the Hilton Short Hills (NJ's Only five-star property) must had did a lot of work and worry to keep its high rating (and OMNI: everyone must go to this property once, if only for the spa and the massages!)

What's this fixation on the US? Come on guys--there's a whole world for us Americans to explore out there 
Now where is the news about the Canadian tourists getting shot while minding their own business in a Mazatlan restaurant when they got caught in an ambush on some DEA agents?

Catman,
You are right about the pressures on the managers of 5 star/diamond properties. Having that 5th star/diamond really raises the expectation of guests. It takes a lot of effort to maintain the high standards that are expected
Definitely not a job I would want.

Catman,
As evidence of some previous posts, you apparently appreciate a good steak. Have you ever eaten at Sammy's in Mendham?
