I have also stayed here recently and found that almost everything in the room was redone, other than some of the bathroom - a pretty thorough renovation. The 42" plasma was nice and included channels such as HBO and ESPN. I overheard a manager saying that there will be High Definition available on the TV's soon.
The hotel is scheduled to become Hyatt Place on Feb 1, although this date is tentative.
For those not interested in points
, the hotel is selling for $53 on priceline during the week (as a 2.5*) - a great price considering the recent renovations
