Stayed a night in this hotel over the past weekend. A few of the tidbits in this thread no longer appear to apple.

1. Also experienced no lighting in the room at all. Asked the check in attendant and was informed that the lights and air conditioning require your room key card to be inserted into the slot above the "Do Not Disturb" light switch by the door. Said this wasn't very intuitive and was informed it was very common in hotels - despite my never having encountered it before even staying in brand new hotels opened mid-2017. Hopefully they put up some signage or something.

2. Buffet breakfast was pretty good, at $25 for SPG members not bank breaking, and there is in fact now a toaster. However, you still need to ask staff to toast banana bread or croissants. Also, had to ask staff for bowls as none were set out for the cereals.

3. Rooms are nice and spacious (was upgraded to a superior room on level 6 as a SPG Gold member). Not entirely sure why you would want a glass wall between the living area and the bathroom though. And without the keycard in the electricity slot, the shade covering that glass wall between these two areas won't raise or lower.
