"The decor of the lobby and common use areas of the hotel is creative and fun and has such a interesting 1970s vibe. The biggest negative would be the rooms. The rooms. Do know how to have the same clever decor and fun colors etc. As the rest of the hotel. I felt that the room was kind of drab and a little dingy in comparison. And most of the rooms in the hotel do not have air conditioning."
