From the totally tattooed and tightly wound hotel staff to the unfinished poured concrete on the ceilings and columns in the guest rooms; from the initial front desk reception coldly requiring a picture ID before any statement of welcome to the nonsensical security measures needed to get around the place, and to the unsavory toughs that you may meet yelling in the halls at midnight (wearing only underwear), this hotel will make any ex-felon recently released from the state penitentiary feel quite at home. The room design preventing you from fully closing the bathroom door, as well as the glass bath enclosure with a drape that can only be closed from the OUTSIDE of the bathroom, misses its presumably sensual design intention and, instead, evokes images of fragile vulnerability in a flashback film about Riker's Island. The irrational use of one door on a rustic hanging metal roller to alternately cover either the closet OR the entrance to the bathroom results in your getting clobbered on the head if looking into the closet while someone else in your party exits the bathroom. For those of you who have managed to stay on the right side of the law before now, stay away from this misinformed attempt to create an edgy upscale ambience. LIGHTS OUT!!!
