Frommer's Review
A sprucing up will have refreshed decor throughout the hotel by 2009, but you can still expect to see eye-popping patterns and bright colors. Guest rooms have a minimalist feel; the platform bed is placed behind sheer drapes in an alcove (in the king deluxe rooms), leaving the two-person settee, a triangular desk, and the flatscreen TV out in the open. Roomiest are the 18 suites, each with a separate bedroom and slate-blue sectional sofas in the living room. Specialty rooms include "Eats" rooms, which have Italian cafe tables, bar stools, and a fully equipped kitchenette; kid-friendly "Bunk" rooms that have a separate bunk bed area with TV/DVD player combo; and "Zone" rooms equipped with a plasma-screen TV, high-tech stereo system, lava lamp, and lounge chair. The Helix Lounge is popular with locals, especially from May to October, when its outdoor patio is open.
Facilities:
Bar/cafe; exercise room; room service (during breakfast and dinner hours); same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 9 rooms for those w/limited mobility, some w/roll-in showers
