The historic Castle Mona Hotel has closed its doors and has ceased trading today.

This means that all of you who may have booked to stay there for TT2007, will have to think again, and try and get your money back for deposits paid, plus try and find alternate accomodation.

So, No Breeze nightclub No Superbowl and No Office bar for next year. More entertainment disappears from Douglas.

The Assistant manager Carmella Banks has said: 'The news came as a shock. We only heard two hours ago and until then we had no suspicion that anything was wrong.

'As from today there is no Castle Mona Hotel.'
