Frommer's Review

Shades of red are everywhere: in the staff's red-striped shirts, in the accent pillows on the retro furniture, and in the artwork. Rouge guest rooms have deep crimson drapes at the window and a floor-to-ceiling red "pleather" headboard for your comfortable, white-with-red-piping duvet-covered bed. The dressing room holds an Orange Crush-colored dresser, where the built-in minibar holds such red goodies as Hot Tamales candies, red wax lips, and Red Bull. Rooms are spacious enough to easily accommodate several armchairs and a large ottoman (in shades of red and gold), a number of funky little lamps, a huge mahogany-framed mirror leaning against a wall, and a 10-foot-long mahogany desk. Fifteen specialty guest rooms include "Chill Rooms," which have a chaise longue and a little sitting-room area, DVD player, and PlayStation and Wii; "Chat Rooms," which have computer/printers; and "Chow Rooms," which have a microwave and refrigerator.

Facilities:
Bar/restaurant (American, w/French twist); modest-size fitness center; business center; room service (7am-11pm); same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 6 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 3 w/roll-in shower
