I live down the street and have frequented the place for while. It was rarely packed, especially on weekdays. I do wish that there had been some warning prior to the closing and that is the main thing that irks me about this. I am actually quite excited to check out the lounge, and am glad that I can still grab a mai tai and look at a few tikis when I get the itch, which is a lot more than I was expecting. Did the owner of the hotel own the lease? I think not. The hotel owner wanted to shut down TV to eliminate a possible obstacle to tearing down the hotel. Don't believe a word of it. It is just BS offered in a failed attempt to justify its closing.
