This was the first post I saw regarding the Felix, so apologies for the bump. I stayed here back in October '09 after using Hotwire, and want to warn others who think they may have the Felix.

This hotel has 'Hotwire rooms', apparently 1 per floor (I believe the room numbers end in 11). The room is extremely tiny, I measured it to be about 160 sq. ft. including about 25 sq ft for a short hallway and 35 sq ft for the bathroom. The bed is a double/full bed, not even a queen, and you WILL slam your foot into the side of the bed frame if you are sleeping on the left.

The floor plan on the back of the room door showed that our room was by far the smallest, and when I asked at the front desk if we could move, he looked up our reservation and told us 'That's the hotwire room'.

So to sum up, beware the Felix, especially if there are two travelers.
