The room is about the size of the average living room, almost completely dark with no ventilation and horrible humidity from the Hub-like water fountain running the height of the building spreading the smell of stale beer and water everywhere...<br /><br />...admittedly that last one might help the WOM ambiance...<br /><br />...but if you want to breathe, see, or speak, you have to go out onto a painfully small balcony.<br /><br />And the trouble is everyone goes there.
