I just checked in to this hotel, and was upgraded to what I was assured was one of only two newly remodeled Terrace Suites, which excepting the Presidential Suite, are supposed to be the best rooms in the hotel.

It appears that the remodeling was of furniture and carpets only. Evidentally, no rooms were enlarged, no bathrooms updated and -- except for the mandatory addition of high speed internet and "touch it and you bought it" minibars -- no electronics was added. This means there are no in-room safes, no flat panel TVs, no interesting shower heads, no plush towels, and so on.

The soap dispensers in the shower remain as a permanent feature in lieu of amenities (which can be requested, however) because, I was told, "that is what is required in a GREEN hotel."

Sadly, this hotel remains the perfect Priceline Hyatt, even if business conditions enable them to charge more. One of the most graceless remodelings I have seen in a long time.
