"If you're an adventure seeker who's not afraid to bed down in a sketchy part of town, go for it. If not, there's no harm in stopping by the lobby for a quick look-see."

If you ask for a room on the park side of the hotel, you may be able to see the Parthenon from your room.

Ask for a room with a park view - if you're high enough you'll be able to see the faux Parthenon in the center.
