The room we actually got certainly did not look remodeled- Old TV, chipped/dented furniture, and a door that scraped against the door frame so bad that you had to slam it to get it closed.

Location is good and we enjoyed the outdoor terrace for drinks but overall it still needs work- If this were an older Hilton I'd say it was fine but as a Conrad it falls short.
I'm staying at the Conrad now with my wife on a one night pay/two night award reservation and was upgraded to a very nice, modern executive suite (no flat screens). However, with the new amenities rules, I didn;t receive the usual comped continental breakfast for being a Diamond - I think the upgrade is the perk received and thus no free breakfast..rats!
