Smallish, carpeted rooms with splashes of dark wood paneling, giving them a classy
edge. Little touches such as leather chairs and gold ashtray stands in the hallways give it
a kitschy appeal and the central location seals the deal.

With some slick design features taking the edge off the corporate blandness, this is a
good deal for the price, and the well-stocked kitchenettes and rooftop pool are added bo-
nuses.

big.
