40k for a hotel that is more than showing it's age and that's usually available for under $200 is quite expensive.

The Park Hyatt next door charges $350+ and that's a totally different league. That renovation project will be a MASSIVE undertaking as they need to take out the entire interior including flooring and tiles. Especially the bathrooms are is a desperate state at the moment.
