Great breakfast on the move
The packed breakfast was amazing. The bacon and sausage sandwiches were just what you needed for a quick breakfast whilst travelling through the tunnel. They were nice and warm.

Fantastic location close to the channel tunnel with tescos and other amenities close by to grab essentials. Check in quick and easy and staff friendly and helpful. Similarly priced to other hotel chains but buffet breakfast was included for no extra cost, which was great. Will visit again

Totally unsanitary!
TOTALLY UNSANITARY! Leaking toilet. Each time the toilet was flushed it leaked water onto the floor. Issue only noticed when our 2 young children were in bed so we couldnt swap rooms. However once we raised it, no-one seemed to care. Left with a floor that we had to clean, and a toilet that we couldnt flush. Issue raised 4 times since by email and customer services. I intend to contact the Department for Health.

Convenient stay
Convenient for Rurotunnel Terminal. Had dog friendly room for our stay with our greyhound. Room could have done with a refresh, bit smelly. Overall was pretty busy as it was in the school holidays and peak travel time,staff did well to cope.

Nice and clean but noisy rooms
Nice and clean and good for using the le shuttle. Food options were not great and food wasnt that nice very basic and no taste. Rooms were nice and comfy however, we were a family of 6 that had to book 2 rooms to fit us all in and they put us in separate places. Me and 2 kids were in one of the conjoined rooms so had a door between us and next door and you could hear EVERYTHING! sneezing, TV, them talking and they were so loud until early hours of the morning. The doors are also not slow closing so would slam shut. Very dangerous especially for little kids

Good location for LeShuttle but...
The room had no air-conditioning or fan so the room was very hot during the night. We had to open the window and listen to the motorway.

Perfect for the Eurotunnel
Better than i expected. Food was nice enough. Catered to dietary requirements. Good size room for dog. One criticism, give that many people with dogs stay here, it would be nice to have an exercise area for them. Tbe 'pathway' over the road is not nice at all.

Great stay before getting Le Shuttle
One night stay before heading to Le Shuttle. Check in was quick and easy. Several parking spaces available on arrival late at night. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hot, tasty and plentiful with options to take away for those on earlier trains. Very smooth and efficient.
