A renovation would make old hotel reviews old.. at least I see quite a few hotels undergoing much needed renovations to improve the customer experience.

Of course, we have to read it on TA before venturing out to the old holes.
Generally, the current renovation cycle is occurring not because of customer reviews, but because of the economic cycle. Renovations were severely restricted during the Great Recession. Now that hotels in general are doing well, there's CAPEX available.

All based on macro economics, not on customer reviews.
