I've
been
wanting
to
stay
at
the
Jane
for
years,
but
finally
ended
up
doing
it
during
a
weekend
trip
for
a
friend's
birthday.
I'd
read
a
review
earlier
last
year
about
renovations,
and
their
website
does
have
a(n
easy
to
miss)
banner
at
the
top
saying
that
it's
under
construction,
but
the
actual
scope
of
the
construction
is
not
described
at
all.
Basically
90%
of
the
interior
is
gutted,
exposed
and
there
is
work
being
done
EVERYWHERE.
The
entrance
was
extremely
hard
to
find;
the
actual
lobby
entrance
is
under
construction
and
has
a
sign
with
an
arrow
and
street
number
pointing
to
the
right,
but
the
temporary
current
entrance
is
in
the
basement,
which
is
also
mostly
under
renovation.
I
actually
don't
know
if
it's
legal
to
host
guests
with
this
level
of
construction
this
close
places
guests
are
exposed.
The
elevator
wasn't
working
when
I
arrived,
so
I
had
to
carry
my
bags
up
many
flights
of
stairs
and
squeeze
by
construction
workers
who
were
actively
working,
peeling
the
wallpaper
off
walls,
working
on
wiring,
and
everything
in
between.
During
my
stay
I
was
actually
worried
about
the
amount
of
plaster
and
probably
asbestos
I
was
inhaling.
The
elevator
didn't
work
until
late
that
night,
so
I
had
to
go
up
and
down
the
stairs
while
the
crews
were
working
a
few
times.
Aside
from
the
construction,
the
staff
was
pretty
nice
and
polite,
but
I
didn't
really
interact
with
anyone
outside
of
checking
in
and
out.
The
payment
process
was
a
bit
strange
and
a
little
sketchy,
and
I
was
asked
to
sign
a
waiver
stating
that
a
temporary
hold
of
$50
a
day
would
be
put
on
my
card
in
case
of
incidentals,
and
that
the
hotel
is
not
responsible
for
the
theft
or
damage
of
any
items
not
kept
in
the
provided
safe.
May
be
a
standard
thing,
but
seemed
a
bit
strange
to
me.
I
knew
the
size
and
quality
of
the
room
going
in,
and
that
was
part
of
the
charm,
but
the
beds
were
very
uncomfortable
(you
can
feel
the
springs)
and
the
sheets
and
blanket
were
very
old,
and
a
bit
worn
and
stained.
The
walls
are
very
thin
and
my
neighbors
were
loud.
Anytime
someone
was
checking
in
or
would
stop
to
talk
in
the
hall
it
was
very
loud
and,
with
the
construction,
taking
a
nap
or
relaxing
during
the
day
is
out
of
the
question.
The
ballroom,
bar,
and
rooftop
are
all
under
construction,
so
I
wasn't
able
to
see
anything
but
my
room
and
the
bathroom.
The
room
hallways
were
dim
and
dingy,
and
kind
of
creepy
to
be
honest,
with
an
old
mothball/cigarette
kind
of
smell.
It
looks
like
there
are
some
older
long-term
guests/residents,
and
many
loud
young
guests,
and
overall
was
more
of
a
slightly
more
private
hostel
experience.
I'm
not
too
upset,
because
it
was
so
cheap
and
did
the
job,
but
it
was
a
bit
creepy,
and
I'm
worried
about
the
possible
amount
of
asbestos
I've
inhaled.
I
was
worried
about
my
belongings
after
the
waiver
and
seeing
the
condition
of
the
place,
but
thankfully
nothing
was
tampered
with
and
I
wasn't
charged
for
any
surprise
incidentals.
I'd
love
to
try
again
once
the
construction
is
done
and
hopefully
edit
this
review
or
make
a
new/better
one,
but
my
hopes
aren't
super
high
on
this
one.
