Hi Jean, Nice to hear from you.
The small rooms at the tops of the stairs have been combined into
larger suites, better but still not great.
As to the sound - its terrible ! Thats why the black drapes were
hung all over the place in the recent past. To soften the hardness
of the place.
However, the venue is designed for a specific purpose, to house a
Theater Organ. For that it is superb, the building is actually a
part of the instrument, providing the resonant cavity that the organ
plays into.
A complete shame that the instrument has been ruined. There is
nothing like a real air powered Theater Organ to make you feel the
music.
Anyway, The Paramount does have great sound, it was designed for
spoken live stage performances.
