The 21 C has modern finishes such as marble flooring and walls. I felt a bit overwhelmed with the marble. On the ceiling, there is a beautiful and colorful lighting fixture that is 21st century modern. When you look into the other room you can see even more modern lighting that makes the room a purple/blueish glow. This space feels modern but also you can tell the building is older because of all the marble. 
              The Gratz park inn is definitely a cozy-feeling inn. It has dim lighting and comfortable couches and chairs. This building doesn’t feel modern.  It has wood flooring and the walls look like wallpaper or painted to look like wallpaper.  The patterned rug was outdated as well.  I also observed wooden furniture and trimming. The colors in this space were mostly neutral with a few pops of color here and there. The couches and chairs didn’t really match but they were somewhat close in color.
              These two spaces were mostly different. The 21 c hotel felt like a place for a fun and exciting weekend trip while the gratz inn could be a place to stay for a calm and relaxed weekend. A reason for that would be the finishes that were used. The 21C hotel had trendy finishes such as the lighting and marble while the inn had somewhat outdated finishes like the wall covering and some of the antique looking furniture.
