I am sad to read about the foods being mediocre. The foods are the reasons I think about going as I am well aware of the other shortcomings you pointed out. No way I would pay the old SPG price but at 60K I might give it a try. Now if the foods are not up to the "standard" being raved about, there is no reason to make the trip.

Could it be due to the recent flood of point stays that have caused the deterioration in quality?

I tend to agree with you and WorldPalHand that it is at best a $500 to $700 value, not the advertised $1500 price tag. No way.
Very outdated property. The only attraction to me is the highly rated dinner which is no longer included in redemption booking... not worth the hassle to go then.
