Scene
Some unexpected pizzazz and bold color choices
The hotel makes a significant effort at pizzazz in the boldly decorated lobby and lounge. Purple sofas wrap around woodblock coffee tables with vintage-style armchairs to form inviting conversation spaces. Track lighting and Christmas lights add interest, as do the quirky knickknacks hanging here and there, and a foosball table. Socializing is encouraged among the mostly couples and business travelers that check in at the bar, which serves wines, spirits, and beers, as well as a small menu of salads, sandwiches, and other light dishes. The standard continental breakfast buffet is also served here each morning.
