From 2002 through 2004, 90 of the original hotel rooms on floors 3–6 were converted into 15 condominiums and the second-floor ballroom was restored.[1] In mid-2017, however, plans were made to convert the ballroom into apartments because it was used too infrequently to be economically viable.[1] In October 2017, a semi-truck struck an overhang on the hotel's north side, cracking one corner of it.[2][3]
