The real negative with the Hudson is the rooms. When I travel for work, I get stuck in a single on a cheap corporate rate. These rooms are tiny, but have some design flair. Since this visit was on our own tab, we opted for a suite, which is about three times bigger, a great plus. But the last time I had seen wood paneling was in the house I grew up in as a young kid before we went "uptown", or at least "upstreet". I think they were going for some sort of Adirondack lodge look, and granted it was more expensive material than the cheap wood paneling of my youth, but it still looked darkly depressing and cheap.
