Booked through Bestwestern.com as we thought it was in Dover. We called to ask to change hotels and where told we would be charged for the room. At this point we should have just took our lumps and ... more

Dear Jeffrey Thank you for your review, although I am having issues tracing your reservation within the system, perhaps it was booked under a different name ? I am genuinely sorry you found the staff miserable as this is not the usual standard of service we offer as can be verified upon reading various other reviews, nonetheless, please accept my apologies for any misconception created. It would appear that Best Western were following the reservation terms & conditions associated with your booking and as each Best Western Hotel is independently owned, it is not possible to transfer funds from one business to another-especially as there would most likely be a difference in the price of the rooms The bedrooms are scheduled to begin their delayed refurbishment in September so the issue you found with the age/condition will be resolved as part of this, I will however, discuss your feedback with the housekeeping contractors so they can look at improving the levels of hygiene when they fall below our approved standards Once again, thank you for your feedback, it has been very helpful Kind regards Neil
