Beds seemed new and still kinda overly firm to me. I found them too hard, but that's a common complaint for me in Europe.

Breakfast was a very nice buffet. Enjoyed it each day. Staff was very nice. Rooms were not as tiny as I feared. Frankly, I think the end product here is going to be better than WA. They seem to have very high expectations for this reno and i would love to see it when they're done.
Nice, I imagine you werent stuck in an Inner Room as others above, that seems to be the biggest crap shot, do you pay 50% more in points and end up with no view whatsoever or of the car port. Someone is gonna end up with them and we didnt need a Castle View but we decided not to roll the dice and end up with an inner room but we plan to stop by and check her out anyways
