The first night the elevator began shaking so bad it has to be closed for 12+ hours so that it could be serviced. Fortunately for us we had taken our bags to the room before it began to shimmy and shake. Don't plan on watching much TV. They only have 4 channels, CBS, ABC and two unidentifiable channels. NBC was not available despite the fact that this was during the Olympics. Also don't plan on sleeping unless you get a room at the back of the hotel where the view out the window is a concrete wall. The lobby is taken over most nights by a very loud DJ. The bass beat reverberates through out the building. The noise near the elevator shaft is amazing. The bar guests havw something of an attitude and socialize in the stairwells up to the second floor. The furnishings are nice but minimal. There was only one chair; a desk chair in our room. The shower is like very small with a half glass wall and though I am a petite woman there was no way to shower with out spraying water all over the floor and sink area. The sink is very cool but there is almost no counter space and light is poor. The bed was very comfortable but there is a only one bedside table. The front desk staff is very friendly but either poorly informed or very good at playing dumb. When I called the first night to ask about the TV stations the desk person said there were at least 20 stations and that he would look into it. Two nights later the desk was surprised to hear there were only 4 stations. There are no ice or vending machines in this hotel. I so regret that I didn't heed the advice of the reviewer who complained about the TV stations and mediocre overall quality. I wrote the reviewer off as a crank- my mistake.
