Properties with "High-Tech" rooms?
Marriott made quite a big fuss awhile back about what I think they were calling the "guestroom of the future" or something like that. This is the redesigned room with flat-screen TV, computer/mp3/AV hookup, redesigned desk and lighting, and the Revive bedding package. To date, I've only encountered one property with these rooms, the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront - and this hotel apparently has only 2 floors out of 31 with these redesigned rooms.
Has anyone else encountered these new rooms, and if so, where? I think it would be great to get a list going. I really like the new design, and the high-tech features, but it seems that the properties that actually offer this room design are few and far between.

I have also yet to encounter these new rooms besides the Balitomore Waterfront Marriott(which when I asked I was "upgraded" to).

The Tampa Renaissance International Plaza had these rooms last time I was there, but it was a new property and was built with that room plan in mind.
Other then that, I havent seen the new rooms either.

I have seen this at the Renaissance Las Vegas. Also, of all places, the CY in Columbia, MO (which is new) seemed to have the new design too.

The Washington Dulles Marriott Suites completed a renovation this summer of all rooms. However, they did not replace the old TVs with flat screens that contain the computer/mp3/AVI hookup.

I can vouch for at least one of these rooms at the Irvine Marriott!

I stayed at the (newish) San Diego Gaslamp property and I think it had the new rooms.
