What’s with the bed setup?

The hotel is designed with maximum efficiency in mind—compact, functional rooms that make smart use of space. I’d likely give it 5 stars, but the layout of the king-size bed was a drawback. One side of the bed is pushed directly against the window, making it accessible from only one side. This setup could be inconvenient, especially for older guests or couples who need to get up during the night. Something to keep in mind before booking.

It could use its own parking garage because there was only 6 parking spots in front of the hotel and so I had to pay $52 a night to park in the garage

Pro's The staff was very nice. Con's The temperature could not be regulated in the room. Did not receive any washcloths until we asked for them. The shower door (it was a stand-up shower) did not extend down to the bottom of the shower, and water leaked everywhere. The "refrigerator" was in a drawer under the sink and did not keep anything cold. The bed was extremely uncomfortable as there was no box spring. The mattress was sitting on plywood. Additionally, the bed only contained a bottom sheet and a comforter. We were on the 10th floor and it was extremely hot. The comforter, coupled with the inability to adjust the room temperature, made for very unpleasant sleeping arrangements.

The property as a whole qas unique and different. There are only a couple things I didnt like. 1. The room was pretty tiny. 2. The Air conditioning would not fet cooler than 68 degrees so it was pretty hot at night making it difficult to sleep. 3. Something bit the mess out of me and it only happened in the bedroom.
