Some appear unaware that a new park, built on an abandoned elevated rail line, offers prime views into the rooms through the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows. One passerby compared the action to “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.”
We’re not sure what he saw, but we hope it didn’t involve nets, tranquilizer guns and alligators.
