The lobby and several restaurants were updated in 2016. The Lobby Lounge is a great place to unwind. A good friend of mine plays the Lobby Lounge on Thurs nights from 4-9 - see
Events - Taylor Roberts. He also plays Salt - I would recommend sitting in the bar area of Salt to grab a drink or some appetizers and listen to him play.
The rooms are nice, not the best I've seen but certainly what you'd expect at RC.
Salt is very good. I would recommend the Steak and Eggs.
I can't speak to what one would expect for upgrades. I think because I go there so much and got married there, my upgrade percentage is probably much higher than normal. The Club is very good - I'd burn a Club upgrade certificate if you have the RC Visa. If you do go to Club, ask for Joni. She makes a strong drink and is great to chat with - same with Sumner and Dawn. If you use points, you can upgrade to the Club for $200/night. The Club gets you access to the Club Beach, which is an extension of Club right on the beach. It has its own beach chairs with cocktails and drinks offered by the staff.
