I don't want to post my thoughts on this yet, but is the hotel even open yet?? I suspect it is, but it's probably no where near being done. How can anyone judge it??? Anyone who stays there would clearly see they are one of the first to arrive, and that it's a work in progress. Ba

I think the problem is that the exterior of the building doesn't reflect what may be going on inside. If you were to spend $190 a night to stay there, and you pulled up in front, wouldn't you balk at the sight of broken and boarded up windows? I for one would love to see a great funky hotel in
