�The goal of these renovations was to create a modern and stylish space that would give the property a fresh identity without sacrificing comfort,� said General Manager Michael Miner. 

Each of the 802 redesigned guestrooms, including 102 suites, features Sheraton�s signature �Sweet Sleeper Bed.� The Sheraton hotel�s luxurious, custom-designed bed features an 11.5-inch thick, high coil count Sealy Posturepedic mattress with plush pillow top.  

High-speed Internet access has already been installed in guestrooms, and wireless Internet service will be available in the hotel�s public areas by the end of the year.
