  •  Interesting Features
    Its huge. Usually with these buildings they get annoying after the 5th floor cause each floor starts to look the same. In the Broderick each floor is different, you could spend an whole weekend just going to each floor and seeing each room. Theres still many things left over on each floor. The old school colors and the artifacts left over really make the place. I can see myself staying in it for the weekend with friends over the summer. Theres several very nice and clean rooms that are freshly painted also. They have brand new steel doors on them also, but they're just missin the locks. Thought this was really weird.
