Still a good stay

The hotel was renovated over a year ago and its showing a little bit of age. Still pretty good but a touch up of paint in some areas would make a difference. The cleaning service was hit and miss, of the three nights, the room was tidied once without the bed being touched(just towels replaced). This was not a big deal but just unusual.

Very friendly staff,good food. The only negative comment was regarding the toilet seat in the bathroom being not installed correctly. The seat sat back from the toilet bowl, causing the guests to partially sit on the exposed bowl.
