Very popular and well known spot, I've known about it for a long time, but I only went recently, it was also my first time exploring with another explorer from UER.
Abandoned in 2005, the property has changed hands multiple times since. The hotel once had over 250 rooms for guests, but is now pretty gutted and all four non-ground floors are just a concrete shell of what they used to be.
There's tons and tons of evidence of homeless people, I was lucky enough to go at the right time of day where I didn't run into any, but there was a floor where some homeless people had installed deadbolts on the both of the stairwell doors so that they could lock themselves on a floor and other people wouldn't be able to intrude while they were there, smart, right?
There's a lot of graffiti as well, like I said, it's a very well known spot, I've seen numerous youtube videos of kids exploring it with the buildings' name in the video's title. The offices are pretty moldy and the kitchen and nightclub are so filled with debris at this point, there wasn't really anywhere to walk or anything to see. But.. the building still stands!
