Hi, It always pays to read the T&C's when booking early hours of the morning. We also told Clayton to cancel his booking as we didn't have your money. If you wish to call in with ID we can refund you the net amount as we have now been paid.

Hi Karl, We do apologise that your stay wasn’t as comfortable as it should have been. Your original booking had you in one of the upstairs rooms away from the renovations, but we had a note in our system letting us know you prefer downstairs, so we moved you to the only downs stairs room available at that time. We had noted at the start of our reno’s on Expedia’s & the Best Western sites that work is being carried out, we also advised you upon arrival. We have also addressed your concerns with the builders & they have advised that they do comply with all WH&S guidelines. We do hope that you will stay with us again.
