9.2/10 Wonderful! (877 reviews)
The water pressure was TERRIBLE and NO ONE SAID A DAMN THING ABOUT IT until I asked the following morning what was going on. They said they had some company working on it but it was TERRIBLE the entire time I was there. Had I known beforehand I wouldn't have stayed there especially considering how pricey it was. Plus the entrance was not very friendly to suitcases and the accessible entrance was in the back around the corner like I was the help in some fancy house. Very convenient to Yale but not worth it.

Located across the street from the overflow parking lot for the Steam Train. Follow the tracks. This is best as a morning shot... 8-9:30 a.m. Great textures and details on this piece. I spent an hour shooting it. The "AMERICAN" logo is classic. #TroverDetour #Abandoned
