re: Hotel Indigo - Downtown BR

Here is an interesting fact about the Indigo, BR. There is a passageway under 3rd Street to the Hilton (old Capital House) that was used back in the day by politicians and their mistresses. I stayed at the Indigo BR and found the rooms to be nice and the service first rate.

When the Hilton was renovated, they originally intended to have the passage way renovated as well and turned into a bar or dining area (if I remember correctly). In fact, they may have actually completed renovation at some point - however, there were issues with sewage backing up into the passage and it was going to be too expensive to address, so the idea was scrapped.

A manager at the Hilton told me that years ago. Don't know how much of it has changed since then.

just thought it was interesting.
