Guests were asked to leave a Shrewsbury hotel, with some describing the situation as 'absolute chaos'.
The hotel has now closed its doors to the public to provide accommodation to those seeking asylum in the UK, leaving its paying guests wondering where they were sleeping.
"We've spent the day walking around the town but we can't walk any more. We've been told we can get a refund but that won't come for three days and in the meantime what are we supposed to do? "We will continue to function as an accommodation provider, so will be providing food and laundry services to our guests, but will not be taking external bookings during this time.
"We have taken the difficult decision to cancel all future bookings, and have been contacting everyone with a future booking to make them aware. Council leader Lezley Picton said:"To date, Shropshire, compared with many other parts of the country, has received limited numbers of asylum-seekers. Shropshire has been very welcoming and accommodating to refugees following the recent crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine and I am sure that that will continue.
