I love the decor and layout of this hotel. Some highlights: a pool with a see-through floor so you can see people swimming from below and showers by the pool that look like go-go boxes. The service was awful, though -- I went soon after their opening so maybe they are ironing out the kinks. I really like the n'hood its on. Not the typical gay hood, but one well worth exploring that I might not have if not for the hotel.

Everything you need in two well-laid out floors. Friendly crowd with a little something for everyone.

Shermans offers a great brunch. All of the traditional American food plus some more unusual Jewish-type food such as gefilte fish, matza brie and whitefish. The servers are awesome.

The grounds feel like a porn set which, I guess, is good or bad depending on how you feel about the patrons. I tend to go for my age or younger so it wasn't really my speed. The rooms are pretty nice and the staff is helpful. Most ameneties and services could be a bit better: the food, the gym, the furniture, etc.

Good looking crowd, fun music, impressive architecture -- so why don't I like it very much? It's a hard place to meet people partially because its so open and cavernous. There's no real center or focal point.
