The hotel closed for business several days ago but has been open again today for pre-sale viewing of the entire hotel contents including function rooms , kitchen , bar and bedrooms which will be auctioned off tomorrow , Wednesday 12th. . I called in and had free rein around the hotel and took the opportunity to have a good look around parts of the hotel normally off-limits to the visiting public and found that the 'back office' services area was quite extensive but probably much altered since it's days as an officers mess . Sadly the building is or rather was crying out for investment to modernise it and it will be interesting to see if it will have a future should Mayor Houchen's buy-out plan be accepted by the local authorities .
