Stayed here for 3 nights. Very convenient for Dover. Tesco is about 5 minute walk from the hotel.same distance for catching the bus into town. Check in was straight forward. You have to pay for the parking at the machine inside the lobby. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, which is included, is very nice and plentiful. But if you are hungry for a fried egg, you are out luck. We had an evining meal here once. It was alright. We had a chicken escalope and Hunters chicken. The coated chicken was very crunchy to say the least. Wifi is very good at this hotel!! Will we come again?: of course.

Always spotlessly clean and tidy. It’s a credit to the hard working staff. The area is quiet and there is sufficient parking. Breakfast provides a choice of hot and cold food and is kept topped up

Great staff! Very friendly, and well trained. On top of that, a few are trained bartenders who know how to draw a pint! Breakfast was great! The room was quite comfortable and the shower was excellent!

Gordon.

Over night stay to get the euro train. Fire alarm went off Three times during the stay over. All due to a faulty censor apparently. The room was good , clean and tidy. The breakfast was nice with plenty of choices. The staff are very good, always there to help and tidy up. I would definitely stay here again but hopefully I get a good nights rest instead of being woken up for what turned out to be for nothing.
