Hotel closed and boarded up
Pros:

When we arrived to check in we found the hotel closed and a brick through the window. We were left having to book a second hotel at our expense. Still looking to receive a refund for our booking.

Don't Book it's closed.
Pros:

Hotel is closed but still taking bookings & money.
Arrived at the hotel to find the reception in darkness & unmanned. I came back 2 hrs later & still no receptionist however a workman appeared & told me that the hotel was closed. I asked for the manager & when he arrived I explained that I had 2 nights booked & paid for, he just told me to contact Hotels .Com for a refund.
Thanks for ruining my easter weekend.

Pros:

Awful property, somebody had been in and used the toilet while me and my partner were out and just not even flushed it, one of her items of clothing have gone missing from out of the room also, in a close area to the beach but on the whole the place needs closing down.

Pros:

Tried in vain to contact hotel to advise late arrival ignored emails when we did eventually get through on phone apparently no English was understood which seemed pointless so we missed booking in also when we went for 2nd day of stay we were told our room had been re sold and they had no room for us. Still they did not respond to the numerous emails sent the day before

Pros:

I have arrived at the hotel I have booked Expedia travel confirmation - Fri, 9 Feb. - (Itinerary # 7265487521140) The Sherwood Palm Hotel, Torquay BeachBelgrave Rd, 1, Torquay, and the hotel is closed to the public, I have paid for this booking and it has come out of my bank account and I am not able to get into the hotel they have turned me away. I am so angry, I want a refund of my £106.37 and compensation for the mistake you have make, I made this booking in September last year and no one had contacted me to say the hotel would be closed and no refund given and no one to tell me I would need to find another hotel
