Oh dear, is the world not quite perfect for you? I guess coming as you do from NYC everywhere else must be quite a let down. Maybe those of us used to living with not quite perfection are better off by far that you stuck to your lofty ideals and didn't join us.
And as for being a prisoner at the Hyatt...I guess that coming from NYC you might not recgnize a quality hotel if you fell over one....and not only that,you can go for a long walk at night without getting mugged or getting cold from inadvertently standing in the shadow of such a giant ego.
Berating something you know nothing about on the basis of a 3 day visit might be common practice to you....but it is also a good clue as to why the rest of the world is just as happy not to be saddled with some Americans as colleagues. You come from a fine country...keep your views to yourself and you will materially improve its image.
