Well, leave it to my wife, a Trip Advisor freak, to jump right on this!

She said the hotel didn't get very gleaming reviews, but on the upside there is a $80M renovation planned

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/27/town-country-resort-getting-80M-makeover/

Renovation timeline
February 2016: Start interior renovations of the 324-room Royal Palm tower and convention center.

July 2016: Completion of Royal Palm interior.

October 2016: Completion of convention center interior.

Fall 2016: Secure city approvals for Town and Country master plan, clearing the way for redevelopment of the property.

February 2017: Demolition begins, with construction to follow two months later of new lobby, restaurants, spa, water feature and exterior facelift of convention center and hotel towers. Renovation of the other guestrooms will be done at this time.

January 2018: Renovation completed.

So @MACNA2016 it looks like the rooms and convention center renovation will be done before MACNA...right?!?!?

You are correct. And they are contractually obligated to that time frame with us.

This is one example of what the rooms will look like.

The work has already started and is expected to be complete for our room block. We are looking forward to it!

$89 during MACNA weekend then it will go up to $99 for a short time. You will be able to register on the website whether you are at MACNA or not, however if you register at our booth at MACNA, you will get a free T-shirt as well.

specvjeff · Aug 28, 2015

Who's going to DC for MACNA this year? If you are, come by the booth and say hello! Like Dave said, $89 full conference pass a free t-shirt! These are going to be pretty slick shirts too!
