The receptionist and hotel staff were very friendly, bedroom clean and practical with very comfortable bed. Breakfast was decent and only a 10 minute drive from Le Shuttle for my journey to France which was the read I stayed there. All in all a pleasant nice little hotel 👍
early leave on Euro Shuttle so this was a great hotel, was even kind enough that we grabbed a bag with a few breakfast items as it was 6.00am when we left. Staff nice and all smiled... what a difference.
It was a convenient night of passage en route to the Channel Tunnel. Very useful that you take dogs. The second time that we have used this hotel. Reception staff welcoming and friendly.

Very convenient for the Eurotunnel
Very convenient for the Eurotunnel, room is small but functional. The hotel has seen better days and it’s fairly expensive for the standard but you pay for the convenience to the Eurotunnel. No electric car chargers that I could see.
Double the price of Premier Inn but not double the experience. No tea bags in bedroom. No bedside cabinet on one side of bed so no were to place things whilst in bed. Only one lift and VERY busy. Gave up waiting and ended up walking three flights of stairs

Disliked: Room comfort
The beds were small for 2 adults and only 2 cups when there were 3 of us .
Arrived early and car parking registration process explained. Very easy check-in. Staff very friendly. Hotel very clean. Room a good size and well equipped. We had breakfast in hotel which was well presented but didn’t choose to dine in hotel or use the bar.
