Tower House 1066 ★★★★

"Not so long ago, I stayed at the Tower House Hotel 1066, in St Leonards.  In all the time I have been travelling (and that is a good many years!) I cannot recall ever having left a negative review of a hotel or guest house, where I have stayed.  It is not something I like to do.  However, the Tower House Hotel, definitely deserves one.  The worst part was that they tried to charge me for something I had already paid for and I have come to the view, their action, was deliberate.  I had made a direct booking and this was done online.  Initially, I paid a £50.00 deposit and that was fine - no issue there.  Upon arrival at the hotel, I was due to pay the balance due and that is what I did by way of my credit card.  Curiously, I was told, when the payment went through, that no receipt was possible from the card machine.  I then asked for a hand written receipt and my request was met with silence.   I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and later, checked my credit card account online.  I could see the payment had gone through, so left it at that. However, on the day of departure and later that day, I received an email from the hotel requesting that I pay the balance due and that it be done immediately via a link they included with the message.  By reply. I advised them I had paid the amount upon my arrival at the hotel.  Additionally, I sent a screen print from my credit card account, which clearly showed a named payment made to the hotel for the exact amount due.  I later received a very brief reply from the hotel basically saying a receipt would be sent to me.  No receipt ever arrived and I chased a number of times for it.  Each time I sent a chase message, it was ignored.  I think this shows what they must think of the customers.  Clearly, the hotel thought I would pay twice but I don't fall for that kind of trick.   In regards to the room I had, it was very small and some would say, cramped.  I doubt there was enough room to swing a cat.  The cleaning wasn't great as there was dust in some corners, I had to deal with a few spiders - a couple of which were in the recessed wardrobe (certainly not where you want to find any!) and a few high up near the ceiling, and in my time there, the shaver light in the toilet/shower room didn't work, the showerhead, which fitted into an alarmingly wobbly attachment on a plastic pipe, attached to the  wall, looked like it may come apart almost at any moment, a neighbour next door decided to play his guitar, at times and my room (which overlooked the back and the rear seating / garden area of the hotel) had on one warm night, people talking loudly until just before midnight - no early night for me on that occasion.   To top it all, one day, I even found a grass hooper in the shower cubicle - it went for a swim down the toilet.  I had stayed for a few days last year and decided to give the hotel another go.  I worked on the assumption that things may have improved but it was not the case.  In fact, th"
