Super Modern- in 1937!
OK, we only paid $89, the reception staff and all bellmen were warm and professional, lobby was nice, we were upgraded to a large multi-room suite, and the location can't be beat! 
The rooms really suck. Even the bellman seemed to open the closet doors with a seeming relief that nobody was hiding inside. The carpets were uber stained, bed was horrible, linens cheap, sofa too scary to even sit on, and the elevator was oh so dated. The TV had plenty of channels and bathroom was easily acceptable. 
I needed to go out but my friend was too scared to stay in the room solo, and forced herself to come w/me, solely due to how nasty it all felt inside the room. She was still a good sport- she didn't kill me for booking such a bad room.
Our room was modern- for 1937, but by 1938-ish already likely started to seem dated. I would never stay here again and could not recommend it.
