I was told OWBs in FP usually have to be refreshed every 10 years due to the elements. Now, if the upcoming refresh is mostly interior than that won't be as bad, but it depends on how much they have to do to refresh the place. The thatch roofs have to be replaced periodically. I HOPE they replace the mattresses with firmer ones that won't kill people's lower backs.
Didn't the Chinese company HNA bought this hotel? HNA is in financial distress so I will believe it only when I see it.
