Finished!!

So we've finally got the hotel back to normal!!  Check out the photos below to see the newly refurbished hall, bar and room 308.

Room 308

We've also done a bit of recruitment for staff for the coming season.  The first person is a girl called Eva and we have two others starting on Friday.  Once everyone is settled in we may well add some staff photos on here too.

Our first guests have started to arrive for the Showzam Festival / Magicians Conference.  The rest arrive tomorrow and so we are sure to have a busy weekend as all rooms are taken.  Let's hope they enjoy the new bar.  The only thing we have left to do in there is put back the moveable seats but they are still being re-covered so we should have those in by next week.  We're also considering repainting the tables - what do you think?  Leave us a comment.

Room 308 is finished!

Hurrah!  The carpet has been laid and so now it is just a case of getting the bed and drawers into the room. As soon as the cleaners have been inside and it is all put together I will post some photos for you readers.  We have our first guest staying in it next Wednesday so I sure hope they like it!  
The bar is coming along nicely.  The wallpapering is pretty much finished, the new seating units have gone in and as soon as the flooring is finished the cushioning will be put on.  It's lovely looking and I hope our guests will enjoy it.  We should be able to get all the bar glasses and drinks etc back behind the bar this weekend so finally I will have some space to move around again in the office.
There was a power cut this morning and so consequently the fire alarm started going not long after!  Quite the palaver.  We're also trying to reorganise some of the back room areas so that the accumulated rubbish from redecorated rooms gets removed and we only keep what we need to.  It's quite the task though sorting through it all and as you can imagine there is 30+ years worth of various things that have found their way into the numerous storage places we have.  
We've also started to repaint the woodwork in the hall so that should be finished also by the weekend.
Check out the photos below of the new seating - let us know what you think!

We've removed the hall carpet as it is having new floor, like the bar

We'll add more photos as the work progresses.  We have more guests arriving on 16 February so fingers crossed we'll have everything finished by then!!

Let us know what you think so far...
