My personal preferences, yes, but I believe mid-century modern, like Art Deco, seems timeless. Unlike brutalism, which looked hideous and dystopic before the construction was even done. And it always seems to invoke a very particular era that no one in his or her right mind thought was stylish.

As a friend of mine used to say āThatās why God made chocolate and vanilla. Itās cool to like different things.ā
Iām not into the retro look, so neither TWA nor this do anything for me. But hey, for those who love them, Iām happy for you.

Iām just not into the retro look. Too hipster for me.

These updates look just like the recent updates to the value resorts only these rooms cost about $500 more a night.

Hmm, Iām not a fan of this. I thought the previous design looked really cool and I looked forward to possibly staying here for the first (and likely only time) in a year or two. But the heavy character design doesnāt mix well for me. Maybe it looks better in person?
Alsoā¦ is this design going to applied to all the rooms? Or just certain ones? Iāll be booking as close to a standard room is available.

Fiiiiiinally the CR is no longer a more expensive Motel 6! Praise be!
I like! I woulda preferred if they had kept the square sinks, though. Theyre really unique to most hotel rooms.
Thoughā¦ itās a little heavy on the incredibles thing. Mostly itās the curtains. Did we need their silhouettes? No. No we did not.
And yeah, sure, I woulda been good with subtle Mickey hints like bay lake does, but Iām just glad ābeige and brownā is no longer the primary colors!

I love the new look. Would I switch from somewhere else cheaper and pay more to stay there now? Probably not, but if I was gonna stay at CR anyway, Iād be super pleased with this change.

I love thisā¦the old rooms seemed so blah to me and I never had any interest in staying there. This seems to fit the style of the building so much better. I mean if you are going to continue to call yourself the contemporary you better maintain that status and move with the times. Daāling I would totally stay here now!

Yeah, the only reason I would stay in the CR / BLT is for convenience to MK and only for 1 or 2 nights max. Itās so freakinā expensive. But if I was in the tower, Iād prefer the new rooms to the old.

I like the new look especially compared to the old. It is so much brighter and the lines theyāve created make it look bigger. The pretend clothing hanging in the closet is a cute touch. Is it just me, or is the bathtub unusually long?

I think it might be the camera lens they are using.

Itās really hard to tell if theyāve changed any of the walls in the bathroom, but itās hard to imagine they would have, and the older picture looks more normal sized. So Iām with @ryan1 that itās the camera angle.

I was thinking that too, but the round mirror and shower head do not look distorted. That tub look really long and narrow. Itās just weird.

I donāt think the original in your first image is the same room type as the refurb one.

I really love the wall opening around the window. It completely changes the look and feel of the room.

Ok this is really nerdy of me, but I think in the reflection you get a better sense of the proportions. For one, I marked the wall in orange here, which corresponds to the same wall in the āoldā picture perfectly and makes me think the bathroom dimensions / walls were unchanged. Secondly, I marked lines for the open portion of the shower in blue, and it looks much closer to the proportions of the āclosedā side of the shower, as opposed to the non-reflection image.

Oh yeah! You can really see it in the reflection of the open shower door. Wow.
