I was in more modern bungalow colony this past Shabbos. The president of the congregation (there's no rabbi) gets up after davening to speak. He starts saying how he received many complaints from lits of people. He says we shouldn't be getting these sorts of complaints "V'hya machanecha kadosh", leaving garbage by the lake is not keeping machanecha kadosh.

I was ready for the tzinus shmooze. Coming from Lakewood, machanecha kadosh is synonymous with tzinus.

You really anticipated a Tznius shmooz by the MO?

Trip Advisor Review for Embassy Suites in Parsippanny NJ:

My sons wedding was nearby and 50+ rooms were occupied by our wedding guests. All had complaints. It was very upsetting that after choosing an Embassy Suits because of the quality of service we have come to expect we were so very disappointed. The hotel itself was quite beautiful and would have been the perfect setting however, we learned very quickly that was as far as it went. Apparently a large group occupies this hotel each weekend for religious purposes. The problem is, they were rude, loud, up & wondering the atrium all night long. Children unsupervised running and playing in the atrium at 3 & 4 in the morning. Knocking & peering in on suite windows. Could not use the pool or gym as it was over run by unsupervised young children. They were taking food from the morning buffet and placing it in bags I assume take home or back to there rooms. But the biggest problem was that management was clearly not willing or able to control this situation. I worked for Marriott for several years and was appalled by how the immature staff and management handled several guest issues involving our party. I will forward a detailed letter to the corporate offices about this experience.
