I think a lot of the negative is simply the negative attending a likely unnecessary reno. I think it's a lot like the PH DC. I have said it before, but I think the room decor looks like a bad Piet Mondrian painting and I can't imagine why they thought it was an improvement. But a first time guest wouldn't know anything about that and would probably be pretty jazzed by the bathroom, bed, bar area, food, and so forth.
