Rare

I had resisted mentioning Rare because the bathroom is actually in the Shelburne Hotel, but after visiting twice in two weeks, I felt I couldn't avoid it. Especially because the bathroom screams out for help. I haven't seen the rest of the hotel, beyond the lobby, but I can't imagine the restroom reflects well on the hotel.

Two black stalls and two sinks fill the stripped down bathroom. At least one of the times I went there, one of the stalls wasn't anything you'd want to use. It also drove me crazy that there were only hand dryers in the bathroom. I think Rare would do well to consider putting in their own bathrooms.

Here's more on Rare.
