Trivia[]
- In the elevator of the hotel there is no button for the 13th floor, referring to people's suspicions of the unlucky number. This would mean that the hotel actually has 21 floors instead of 22, as what is numbered the 14th floor is actually the 13th.
- According to the Frankie Potts files, Henry Tomasino owns a room at the hotel.
- From the roof you can see various buildings in the city, including the Midtown Construction Site owned by Frank Vinci and the West Side Mall.
- The piano is a "Tinkler & Songs" of 1894 and the song on the score is "Fairest Lord Jesus".
