Most of it is actually quite beautiful. They have a talented team to build those decorations, but that one hallway with the white branches lit from below seems sterile and stark. Not welcoming and pleasant at all. It's no wonder they showed it for only a second in that video.

I've seen some tweets about it, too:

One that thought stark and intimidating decor would be more impressive than something warm and welcoming. I've been to restaurants like that. The food at places like that is almost uniformly average to poor.

Here's an insurance denial for you, and a child welfare denial for you, an.... OH! Lookit this! A nice fat tax increase for you. And for the man of the house, a BIG tax CUT for you! And just look at this lucky dog, eh? You sir, get to retire - sort of - since we're creating jobs - for Mexicans, Chinese, Malaysians, Vietnamese and Africans..... you ever been to the country of Africa? Nice folks there - they deserve your job - I know you'd agree. OH! And for the lady of the house - you're tough to buy for honey, but I managed to get you an annulment.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR SUCKERS!
