Awful stay at this hotel, they are going through a massive refurbishment and decided not to mention this through the booking process or mention it on the website. everywhere stinks of paint, the temporary bar area is big enough for 6 people and the service at the bar took 20 minutes.
Tried to check out early, reception closed until 7am, advised to call the night porter who didn't answer the phone. No apology, no explanation.
Avoid this hotel throughout January/February unless you want to be overcome by paint fumes and treated by staff as if "I should have known the place was being refurbished"
I have sent a complaint to the head of Best Western..will let you know what they say!
Room Tip: anywhere other than this hotel!

Many thanks for your review, I apologise for the disruption you encountered during your visit. We notified Best Western and other agents that work to the reception area was taking place and I can only apologise if you were not made aware of this.
The upside however is that the work is complete and we have a magnificent new reception and bar area that perfectly complements the period charm and elegance of the hotel. I hope you get the chance to return to enjoy the transformation yourself.
