I have several hotels that I am trying to get listed on the Google
business listings but I'm having some serious troupble with the
photos.  It won't upload any high resolution photos and for the
smaller ones it won't show them at all.  It just shows a white box
with an error message on it.

Photos are critical to a hotel and I would very much like to have the
photos added.

In addition, I'd like to comment that although the security with
regards to changing a business's information is pretty good, I think
it could do without the whole postcard mailing thing.  I work for the
management company for several hotels so when I need to make changes
or add them to a website, it's always best to contact me since I'm the
one working on the project but with Google, they don't give the option
to have the verification postcards go anywhere else except to the
business address listed.  Someone might want to consider adding an
option for management companies because nowadays many businesses are
outsourcing their marketing so they'll need a more convenient way of
getting their listings activated.
