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.
