This was our 5th stay here and i would say cleanliness levels have really dropped. Black marks on bedding, net curtain hanging off window, big stain on carpet and someones nail cuttings on the floor, by the time we got back to our room to notice it all it was midnight and all i wanted to do was sleep. Restaurant was as good as ever and staff friendly and helpful. Not sure i would stay here again given the decline in cleanliness.
