Oh yeah, no hoodies, sunglasses, or hats allowed in the lobby of the hotel. And they don't have any cash on premises. Enjoy!
Literally none of this is true. Except the part about Fridays, but it is now an Irish pub that has been closed since covid started. There is no "homeless encampment". Bellacinos has awesome food, its right next to the grocery store. Hotel is OK, you get a mini fridge and microwave. There is a crew lounge, free water bottles and chips. Grocery store 5 min walk, 10 or so restaurants within a 10 min walk of hotel. In last 6 years of going there hundreds of times for training, overnights, etc... never been "harassed" by anyone, ever.
