Muchas Gracias. :) The Clipper has been remodeled and now has a Nouveau-South-Beach-Modern vibe going, all white with hidden neon and conversation nooks. It's still very pretty, and the Wreck Bar is still a marvel to behold, but overall I can't recommend it as a place to stay unless you are a member of whatever club program the Sheraton uses. There are lots of fun little mid-mod places in the area, I'll get back to you via PM with some of the better ones. I by better I mean places you might actually be willing to stay in without fearing for your health or safety.
