| rev:text | 	I'm staying here now for Super Bowl weekend, and this hotel does not meet the low expectations I had for it.  I would leave if I could snag a room at a different hotel -- alas, no vacancies on Super Bowl eve.
The cons:  General dinginess, the paint on the walls of my tiny room is chipping, there is rust in sink of my tiny bathroom (which has bottle opener next to the toilet -- very odd), the water in the shower goes from cold to scalding for no apparent reason, the walls are paper thin (heard my neighbor watching a porno earlier -- charming), the place smells like mold, it's way too hot (no individual thermostat in room), and the staff can't be bothered. 
The pros:  It's haunted (which could be a con if you're not into ghosts), centrally located, they have an entire floor decorated with posters of air force fighter planes (which could be a con if you're not into fighter jets), free Wi-Fi.     
It was built in 1928, and it feels that way--and not in a good way (e.g., Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston built even earlier).    
Would not return. |
