Very basic hotel

Basic hotel. Handy location close to my business meeting. One of the bed pillows had a strong smell of nicotine. Water drain in shower clogged, free breakfast just ticks the box as long as you avoid coffee. Good value for money considering location.

Good stay

It was a very nice hotel at a reasonable price point. Although some things could use updating the excellent staff and high standard of service made up for it. Breakfast was okay but I would definitely go there again given the chance. Very clean and pleasant.

Overnight stopover

Great overnight stop on route to channel tunnel. Room clean and comfortable, parking (£5) close to the main door. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good choice of bar meals and had a good breakfast the next morning. Would recommend.
