This hotel really went out of its way to make itself annoying:
1. The room configuration in the Artist’s Tower is very odd. There’s not a separate bathroom - just a small divider that separates the bed area from the sink, shower, and toilet. There’s no closet, so anything you hang just goes on this ladder-type thin in the bath area. This isn’t hugely problematic, but the bath area is poorly designed. The shower door wouldn’t close all of the way, so despite my best efforts water got onto the plank vinyl floor outside the shower. The planks are bowed and bounce up and down when you step on them. I told the front desk after my first night, but they never bothered to send anyone up to fix the shower door. Oh well, they’re going to be replacing the floor soon enough.
2. The lighting fixtures are just poorly made - the switches are hidden and some are very hard to turn. These have to have 10-year life spans designed in.
3. There’s no desk or table, just a stupid little round 16 inch table designed for children. Heave forbid you’re over 40 and want to actually use a laptop on a steady surface.
4. There’s a settee thing that’s not horrible, but it’s right under the AC vent, so you’re either getting blasted by cold air, or you turn off the AC and broil.
5. The TV system is from the 1990’s, complete with Mario Lopez doing his thing. Yeah, you can chrome cast, but it takes about 10 steps to set it up.
Overall, just an aggravating experience.
