Didn't the RC update its decor recently (to a less "retirement home" look)?
Yes, all of the guest rooms and suites (except for 2, the Presidential and the State Suite, both bi-level suites) have been renovated. The public areas, including the Lobby and one of the two suites will be renovated starting in late December. The room decor at the RC and FS are way superior to the Pen -- it is time they renovated and added a little panache to their rooms.
