Just checked out. There are many architects running around with plans all over the hotel. The hotel needs a fair amount of renovating so I don't see how they can open as a Ritz Carlton early next year. The real deal breaker for me was the Viking River cruise information desk smack dab in the middle of the lobby that seemed to be manned 20 hours a day. Certainly the hotel could set them up in a more appropriate location that didn't make all guests feel like they were boarding a river cruise!
