Completely nonfunctional rooms- only thing is the cool vibe
Friends were staying at a Courtyard by Marriott down the road and I decided to treat myself and go for the SLS. I'd been in the bar/lobby before and loved the sleek style. Front desk and valet staff were ok, but definitely the bell staff gets kudos..they were the nicest and most helpful people in that hotel. 
But in the end, how cool your hotel looks doesn't matter to me if the rooms aren't comfortable and laid out well. The SLS beds and furniture are too short. Why can't they be normal size? Platform beds might look cool, but they're never, ever as comfortable as regular beds, and this one was no exception. The desk is ridiculous...not sure who would ever use that, and it takes up valuable real estate. They didn't even provide a luggage rack in the room so my suitcase had to be on the ground. Even the Best Western provides luggage stands. 
When you open the closet it smelled musty and old..or something...I can't describe the smell but it was awful. I never used the closet because of that - also because they have these stupid little leather loops to open the doors with. Hey guys, they've invented these things called HANDLES that work great!! They don't provide any coffee or tea maker in the room (again, even 2-star hotels have that). 
The bathroom has no space to put your goods. The huge kitchen-size sink takes up almost the whole counter, and you can't put your personal items on the tiny shelves in there. Shower pressure is terrible...a sad little dribble. They put the shampoo, conditioner, body wash in these huge-size bottles which is a little gross because you know someone's grabbed them before you, also the quality of the product was not great. Would have liked a bar of soap.
Some housekeeping items: my bed was shortsheeted at the bottom (picture attached) - gross and unsanitary because you know they don't wash mattress pads every time. I did call housekeeping and at least they fixed it the following night. Also the drain was so clogged in the shower it filled with two inches of water almost immediately. That was also fixed by the next day after I called. 
This place is SO not worth the money. Wished I had stayed at that Courtyard where my friends were. I would never stay here again.
