 "With a central location and attractively furnished comfortable rooms, there is much to recommend. ... There are more bars and nightclubs in the hotel than one could visit in a month of Thursdays."

The 17th-floor disco attracts all comers and as such it may be preferable to avoid sleeping on the 16th floor.
