Questionable design and attention to detail
The room itself was very nice. Great bed, good temperature control, and good soft carpet. Mini bar and snack prices were very reasonable. We stayed on New Year's Eve and received free passes to a 1st floor party, but it was one those loud parties where you can't even talk to the person next to you, and that's not our scene so we skipped it. There was a design flaw in our room with a frosted glass wall between the main area and shower. There's no way to use the bathroom without lighting the whole room up and disturbing your partner that's still in bed. It would have been nice to have more than one USB charging port in the room on the clock radio. The TV was mounted on the wall crooked and the desk lamp was broken. The TV said it had a guide, purchase menu, and streaming apps available but none of these worked. There clearly used to be a box connected to the TV to run these things but it was removed. All you could do was scan through the channels with no guide, you couldn't even select an HDMI input to hook up your own devices. They allow dogs but charge you $100 for the pleasure, which seems excessive. That should be a refundable deposit if no damage occurs. Right now it's no different than a resort fee. It's modern, it's downtown, it's built from an old factory across from the Harley Davidson factory. All those are cool things, but for the price I expected more.

We enjoyed our stay but the front desk clerk was very dismissive and seemed to not know how to handle expedia free valet. When I mentioned we have free valet, she seemed confused. She lacked customer service skills and we didnt feel welcome. The bar staff was great and the room was comfortable.
