The bar area was also extremely small which meant that it was practically impossible to get a seat (again are reservations necessary?). As a result this was probably my first hotel stay in some time when I had little in the way of incidentals on my final bill (except internet access). Although we did eat one day at the Burger Joint this couldn't be charged to the room.
Unfortunately, Norma's is one of the more popular breakfast/brunch spots in the city, and yes you DO need a reservation because of the popularity.
I agree that Knave bar is small, but I never had a issue trying to get 2 seats when we stayed there.

Maybe they DO use something, but less odorous and less toxic (therefore less effective).
Well, mold is pretty serious stuff, and it's either killed or not. Based on our previous stays, we never had a mold issue. Also, we never had a tub in the room either, which I was surprised to find someone mentioned about mold in the tub.
