The remake of The Shining could easily be filmed here, with virtually no prop work needed, but I liked it. Bizarre, spooky, but cool. Room was fine, clean, large and great AC. The food I had here was surprisingly good. Reasonable prices, free parking and a VERY good location for walking to other businesses and eateries. Some cool bars are in the neighborhood and the hotel bar looked very inviting but was closed when we came back in the evening. The connected "dead mall" is weird, like a parasite that latched onto the front of a grand old hotel. Some stores are open, but the mix is bizarre. We found great and inexpensive blocks of tamarind, exceptionally nice bamboo cutting boards and very unique hip greeting cards in our mall stroll.
