Tim laments that Ritz-Carlton and other luxury chains are being absorbed by Marriott and have given up on real hospitality, comparing modern hotels to methadone clinics full of tattooed guests.
- Airbnb is taking a chunk out of hotel business because Tim and his opener have been staying at nicer hotels on tour, including several Ritz-Carltons.
- Ritz-Carlton has given up on hotels completely and now just wants to build residences, but still charges over a thousand dollars a night.
- Marriott now owns both the Ritz-Carlton and Saint Regis, so every high-end hotel chain in America is slowly becoming a Marriott.
- People are opting for Airbnb instead because nobody's doing anything good at hotels anymore and the room service is terrible.
- These hotels are becoming methadone clinics filled with tattooed, working-class people wandering around.
- Tim plans to create a private, serene oasis for wayward women looking for one last couple nights.
