What the trend suggests
Possible renovation2016-01 – 2016-0975% confidence
Post-gap average rose from 4.89 to 4.89 (delta +0.00 nominal), but the 2016-10→2017-01 gap shows sharp decline (delta -0.45), suggesting 2016 may have marked early renovation phases. More importantly, 2017-Q2 snippets show no complaints about dated infrastructure; by 2021-Q3 reviews explicitly praise 'recently ammodernato' spa and modern facilities, consistent with a multi-phase renovation program initiated circa 2016–2017.
Issue resolved2019-03 – 2026-0972% confidence
2019-Q1 contains a single 3★ review citing poor soundproofing ('insonorizzazione'). From 2021-Q3 onwards, multiple reviews (2023-Q1, 2024-Q3, 2026-Q3) specifically praise soundproofing ('perfettamente insonorizzate'), indicating the complaint was addressed and resolved via renovation or room retrofitting between 2019–2021.
