Didn't they change all the TV's to flat screen (albeit small ones)? They also did have a steel drum band playing on Fridays during mid to late afternoon last July.
I will be curious to see if they have indeed cut out housekeeping services on Sunday and Thursday. Do they let you know that when you check in? I hate a messy bed so I just want to be prepared!
I agree, a special assessment is not prudent with the economy the way it is. Although the furniture could use a little sprucing up (please bring back the rectangular table instead of the awkward round one!) it's still better than many other hotels.
Looking forward to my 15% discount--leaving Thursday for 16 days!
