Any fun facts about the hotel or rooms?

The lobby of the hotel used to be the alleyway in between the two buildings. When Paolino Properties purchased the building that the hotel now resides in, the alleyway was turned into what is now the hotel lobby. The lobby features the original exposed brick which complements the modern design so nicely.
