I did have a chat with a manager last year when I was there for Thanksgiving and with the new ownership there is a plan in place to renovate the rooms to bring it up to a luxury standard. This would probably mean a reduction in the number of them (to allow for bigger bathrooms) and a closure for the summer season. The new lobby design is a preview of their intentions.
The lobby update was beautifully done, it looks 5 star.
