When approached by Hull Live, the Home Office said that it did not comment on individual sites for housing asylum seekers but confirmed the use of hotels was a short-term solution while they work hard with local authorities to find appropriate accommodation. The hotel refused to comment when contacted by the paper. Dean Turner, 40, said: "My partner and I have been together for 21 years and have a family together. 'She is the love of my life and we have been so excited for our wedding day that was supposed to be only 14 days away. "Everything had been booked and paid for including 25 rooms for our guests, a wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, flowers, you name it. 'It's all we've been talking about for weeks and then I received the call from my wedding planner this morning. "He told me that the hotel was getting taken over by someone else, so all bookings had been cancelled for the next year and he had 100 people to ring round. 'When I demanded answers about why I was only finding out now, he said he'd only found out himself this morning." According to Dean, the Best Western hotel will be closed to the public from October 29, with no availability on the hotel's website from that date. However, the hotel and Best Western both refused to comment about what would be happening from){kind=link}
