There are lots of positive reviews about this hotel but I was very disappointed. Signage isn't obvious for where the check-in desk is. Turns out it's in another room and it's a kiosk with a few iPads. There was nobody there so I had to ask somebody working at the bar. It was cumbersome working through the screens. I wasn't the only one having a problem. If multiple people need help checking in that tells you it's not very intuitive. Give me a person behind a check-in desk every time. The room has one king bed up against the wall meaning only one side can be used to enter/exit the bed. The person sleeping against the wall has to crawl over the other person to enter/exit. Not everybody staying here is a couple. It's a bizarre configuration. Light controls are not intuitive. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn on individual lights. Coming into a dark room the main switch only lights up a faint area under the bed; you have to fumble your way to the nightstand and find the iPad. There is no light switch by the bathroom, you have to engage the iPad. The iPad TV guide only lists station call letters, it doesn't show a guide of what's playing now. You have to pick every channel and hope it has something interesting. USB A port did not work. You can't shower without the light affecting the person still sleeping because there is only a sheer curtain separating. This hotel is best suited for a solo traveller. For all its fancy tech it really is an example of form over function.

The hotel is very clean, modern and the location is great. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was great. However… the room is extremely small and one side of the bed as well as the foot of the bed are against the wall; so the person sleeping in the inside has to jump over the other person to get out of the bed. If you are a bit claustrophobic, this is not the hotel for you. There is a window but it does not open so you feel like you are enclosed in this little box. Besides that, the A/C does not get very cold. It say that it is trying to get to 64F but it never does. We had to keep calling them to reset or overnight the min temperature and in conclusion were sweating many nights. I would not recommend.
