Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were a good size, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, but the lack of air conditioning made it feel like sleeping in an oven. The service was fantastic, very helpful, and friendly. The location was convenient for the Channel Tunnel and motorway, close to the tunnel terminal, but the atmosphere in the hotel was not the best. The dining experience was disappointing, although the Mediterranean food was nice. The facilities were average overall.
The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were new and nice, the room temperature was uncomfortable with no proper cooling options, and it was quite noisy. The location was convenient for using the tunnel but lacked a peaceful ambiance. The service was a mix of helpfulness and apologizes, while the dining experience offered great variety but didn't meet expectations. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had a comfortable and pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a thoughtful touch of crisp fresh sheets that could replace the duvet if desired. The service was excellent, although there were some noise disturbances during the night. The location was very convenient for early starts and travel to the Channel Tunnel. The dining experience was mixed, with some enjoyable aspects but room for improvement.
The hotel offers clean and quiet rooms, with the only downside being a bit of noise from an elephant in the room above. The location is convenient for early access to the Channel Tunnel, with a cozy restaurant side for easy dining. The dining experience, though simple, was uplifted by friendly staff. Overall, a reasonable choice for a short stay.
I was very impressed with the hotel's effort to accommodate our early check-in request for a family wedding. The room, especially the bathroom, was clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. However, the slight damp smell upon arrival was a drawback for me, though the proximity to the channel tunnel and other key locations was convenient.
