All true. And the hotel itself isn’t open because they did all the construction without permits. The reason they’re bringing in Mr mao is that they haven’t had a business or alcohol license and this was their shortcut. I have a membership, emails between me and staff, plus screenshots of all their publicly avaivally permit issues

Based on both your videos, drifter passholders should be mad at the prior drifter owners. If they don't like the vibe of the new place then fair enough--hate Maidstone for that part. But when something goes out of business, people with prepaid passes, gift cards, etc are generally sol. New owners seemingly want change of direction, if one doesn't like the changes don't go. But bashing the new owners for not being more helpful with the drifter pass situation is taking it out on the wrong people and conflating the two issues. Sounds like they are trying to help even though they want a new vibe. If one wants to say maidstone went back and forth unofficially on honoring the passes, then okay but apparently only now do they have an official policy of 10 free passes through October. Based on the info you've given, they dont have to do anything much less make the drifter customers whole, so seems like a decent offer

I’m with The Iris Motel in the next block. We’d love to have y’all at our pool. Chill vibes, BYO.

I believe this. They’re trying to gentrify and change the atmosphere there so i believe it can be true. Allegedly

Low class? Says the Hotel on TULANE?!?!! The street that rivals Airline & Chef for the escort business. Oh ok.

That’s very disheartening. Do you have any pool recommendations that are worth it and have friendly vibes?

Idk what the big deal is- the Maidstone is accepting and offering comp months. What else can they do really

I don’t live in New Orleans, so I’m just hearing the story from you but as a business student, it’s called rebranding and redefining your target market. There is nothing wrong with that so stop being triggered by everything.

It could’ve been written into the sales contract it was deliberate

The owner gave me his number on IG to call him about them not honoring my membership and he told me to shut up that I got my membership on a discount anyway.

I'm so sad the drifter is gone. It was a cultural icon. now it's a private equity sheep with no personality. from drifter to "grifter"

This is the problem with New Yorkers buying properties in New Orleans. But whatever, it’ll sink. They have no idea about the summer slow season and how LOCALS make your rent in those times.
