Slapping a tower on this building without any sort of integration is plain lazy architecture. I like the hotel, the height, and the energy that this will bring to an otherwise dilapidated and vacant building. And I get the rationale for the design: let's put this tower as inconspicuously as possible so that it doesn't alter the look of the original building from the street. But it just doesn't work. (And it doesn't work on the proposed tower on top of the Lit Bros building either.) And that's all besides the fact that the tower itself is fugly. Those beige panels? Uck!
