The beds are comfortable. Jack Ruby used to stay in one of the rooms. (Before he shot Oswald). They used to have a pool. And the rooms are huge. One or two jaquoozie rooms. It's great they got rid of that riff-raft. It's much quieter now.

Lots of people hanging out in the parking lot around people's cars. Other than the room I occupied was very spacious, it was clean and it wasn't noisy despite the stragglers so I guess you just kinda got read the room

I was just vising a close friend of mines and was amazed at how big the 1 bedroom is and its a very nice size! I never seen a hotel with a huge room like that. Would be dope if they had a little kitchen!
