At 5pm he politely asked us to leave because that was the time when that lounge was officialy open for hotel guest to enjoy their dinner or drinks.
So please don't jump to conclusions that this picture has ruined that location. Yuri, Alex and Matt (on the picture) flew from Canada and were legit guests.
People WHO ruined that spot were local spotters from LA area who used that spot as a personnal spotting location.
