Good hotel; amazing lobby another story on weekend eves...
The architects and designers did a great job incorporating the former Suffolk County jail into a swanky modern hotel; the soaring historic core is well integrated with the "tower rooms" behind/above it. Check-in was friendly and efficient.
I was given a room on the top (16th) floor, using SPG points. Somewhat muted and plain decor-wise, the room had comfortable beds with nice linens, a large luxurious bathroom, and furniture in reasonably good condition (there were nicks and scratches here/there on the dark wood desk/entertainment unit that gave an impression of wear and tear, and could easily be fixed to correct that). Unlike others who have commented, I had no issues with housekeeping -- the room was very clean upon arrival and was well serviced by housekeeping during my 3-day stay. View was blocked -- my room looked out directly (and closely) onto a massive hospital building, with a sliver of river visible off to the left if you went right up to the window and looked out at a sharp angle.
Although I considered myself warned by other reviews, I was nonetheless surprised by the extent of the utter mob scene in the lobby area on Friday and Saturday night. Returning to the hotel in the 10pm-12midnight timeframe, on each night I was greeted by lines of cars and people massed at the front entrance. Once inside (you need to show your room card to a bouncer), you ascend the escalator into a thumping sea of party people and literally have to push your way through the packed revelers and deafening din to reach the elevators up to the guest rooms. Thankfully my high floor room was far enough away from that scene for it not to be audible, but on Friday night I experienced a clearly-heard bout of door slamming and drunken hallway shouting (mercifully, it abated after about 30 minutes).
So: convenient location, interesting building, good service, and comfortable rooms... but madhouse lobby on weekend evenings with serious noise issues that can (and did) spill over even to the top floor.
