The room, beds and sink and bathroom area were cleaned very well all 3 days that we were there. The only problem was the carpeting in the bedroom was extremely dirty. We accidently spulled water on the carpet and needed to place a hand towel over the wet areas and when we pucked it up, it was black.

The staff was great. The room and breakfast was good. The problem was the bathroom. While everything is new and renovated, the bathroom is old and dysfunctional. The toilet flush did not work and when I reported it to the reception, a maintenance worker came to repair it. After that the toilet worked about 25% of the time. The water just kept running but did not fill the tank. It was late and we did not want another visit by the maintenance worker, so we just reached in the tank to close the flap manually if the water would not turn off by itself. If you are the owner of this hotel, I recommend making sure that the toilets are reliable. It's also obvious that the caulk around the bathtub needs to be replaced. It looks and feels neglected.
