THE LIQUIDATION of the entire contents of the Marriott Castle Harbour Resort will take place for three consecutive days beginning on Friday.

The sale will run from 9am to 6pm from Friday to Sunday with the contents of each room being offered at low prices.

“There has been a massive amount of interest in the rooms as well as the other items being offered,’’ said Steve Thomson of MailBoxes Unlimited Liquidators. “Calls have been pouring in and we are telling everyone to mark their calendars on May 5, 6 and 7.’’

Items for sale at bargain basement prices include dining room furniture, outdoor furniture, linens, kitchenware, china, cutlery, glassware, computers, telephones, alarm clocks and housekeeping items.

The 400 rooms come complete with bed, comforter, sheet, pillows, two night stands, three lamps, picture frames, mirror, carpeting, sofa bed or armchair and desk, drapes and valances, bathroom sink, toilet, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, closet organizer and a 25-inch television and armoire.

The cost for the entire contents of each room is $1,450.

“It’s an incredible deal since the rooms were recently renovated so the furnishings look new. “The TV and armoire alone are worth $1,450, so the rest of the room is literally free,’’ said Mr. Thomson.
