Anyone think room prices will be discounted during construction?

Not defending the rooms at all, because they are bland but I saw some pictures of the 2 queen rooms and they do look a little better. There is more artwork and a bluish/creme carpet that runs underneath both beds, so its not as sterile as the King room pic on the main page.

Why is the artwork on one side and not in the middle. The Giant Hilton at Disney Spring's has exactly that but in the middle within the two beds!

So cold and cheap looking...you could be in any hotel anywhere....Certainly looks neither Luxe or unique...

When I think of Luxe I think Blacks and Grey's, Violet.. nothing LuX feeling about it, looks the same other than wood implemented. I get for the floors, but why for the furniture. Home2suites has that lol.

...Things change, and I understand how it would seem dated to keep it as it was... I would have loved to have seen them not discard the pedigree of the architecture, but modernize look without losing the connection to the unique hotel it has always been...

I stayed there like five years ago and the rooms didn't feel dated. It was the hallways and the elevators. Some elevators got some change while I was there. It's the surroundings of the public places that seem needs upgrades! The interiors don't match the Grandness of the exterior outlook!

They're the newer motion detection AC units that turn off when there's no motion (including at night). You need to find a youtube video to override them.

But when you're in the bed you're not moving unless you turn, turn, turn etc so no air for you when you lay?

Correct. It shuts off in the middle of the night - which is why they are garbage.

You can set them to bypass mode so they don’t do this (there are YouTube videos), but yeah, it’s annoying as hell otherwise.

"Great", I need a manual and tutorial to figure it out, after that I'll lose interest in sleep and it's costing me minutes that I should be asleep
