We have stayed here a few times in the past, but it’s obviously been run down which is very sad.
On arrival we changed our room because it was that bad.
We only found out about the hotel was in the process of being sold and renovation had started and was closing the very next day. We had builders starting work on the Sunday morning.if we had known about the building work and it being closed the very next day we would’ve booked a hotel elsewhere.
I think booking.com should have warned us upon booking about these issues.

Nothing as we booked it at the wrong time as it's getting a full refurbishment was never worth the money
Everything as it was getting done up

Pleasant
The 2 members of staff did their best to accommodate with the breakfast. Very friendly.
Was not clear to what extent the refurbishment work was taking place at time of booking. I don’t think it reflected the price paid

Nothing, the parking was closed, the rooms were old and dirty. The hotel closes in a week and should not be open as old and dirty.
Nothing
Thank you for your information!
