if sleep means something to you...

then stay away! Tthe A/C noise is astoundingly unbearable. I stayed during the time when temps dropped below 80s, so I thought opening the windows would solve the problem : it was as bad from other A/Cs buzzing away. The lobby and elevators are very dark and scary looking! The rooms are modern, go along with the Art Deco experience in the area. Lots lots of mirrors and Beautiful furnature. The downside is you'd better keep your curtains closed to avoid gawkers from hotells across your room. Overall - great location with terrible sleeping experience.

Overall Unhappy with this hotel

The first room we were put in had a leak in a pipe in the restroom. Our ""queen bed"" was two twin beds pushed together. The second room's television and hair dryer did not work. The hotel replaced the hair dryer, but we were left with a dead television. No compensation for any of our inconveniences.
