So I was told...but the photos shared in that review should be enough to demonstrate that either not all rooms were renovated or that the renovation standard was terribly unsuccessful in my view.
Except for the junior suite, the other room categories look tired, cluttered, and, well, still dated. The furnishing look old. There is nothing fresh about those rooms, and the bathroom design choices are particularly poor and horribly outdated.
The unsuccessful room and suite designs are especially galling and disappointing when you see how clean and fresh the newly renovated public spaces look. The hotel was successful with the public spaces renovation. The hotel was unsuccessful IMO with the rooms and suites renovation. The design of the rooms and suites is wholly unrelated to the design of the public spaces. It feels like they ran out of money or hired a third rate redesign team for the rooms and suites.
