Dear Adrian. We are sorry you feel this way, but if you passed in front of the hotel you would have seen was a construction site. The interior water, heating and airco pipes in the main building were being completely replaced, to improve the level of comfort we can offer our future customers. We offered you a great upgrade to one of our sister hotels. We are a family run business and do not run an overbooking programme like many chain hotels...I am sad to hear that you prefer to slander us than to check the facts.
