newpontiac, I really have no idea. All I know is that the hotel told me that the rooms were currently in the process of being "outfitted" with new flat screens. Doesn't sound like its moving along very quickly whatever it is, but that's all the info I have to go on currently. Whether there were any flat-screens installed previously I really have no idea. That said, I imagine that whatever is happening seems to be happening pretty slowly, because I imagine if it was a simple tv replacement job, it would be something that they could possibly accomplish fairly quickly, unless it coincided with a complete room overhaul, which may also be happening. Again, I dont know. I will look forward to hearing about your next stay at the hotel.
