A very mixed bag. The good? Good location if you are getting an early Ferry/Eurotunnel at Folkestone (~25 mins drive) Great (outdoor) parking options, with plenty of "real" spaces (for touring cars, etc.) The bad? Our bed/mattress was terrible. It was not "flat" It had "peaks and troughs" (like a toblerone). It felt like we were sleeping on a series carpark speedbumps. You would continual "roll" left or right. We rang reception, asked for any other rooms. None were available. There was a wedding happening. We asked for another mattress. none were available. We asked for some additional duvets and blankets and ended up sleeping on the floor. We didn't sleep much at all. We tried to take off the mattress protector, which seemed to be the problem, but it was very gross, so we gave up. I raised it with the manager the following morning. I think he is probably still in shock. I would have asked for a refund, but was sleep deprived. -- My advise to the Management Team. Please undertake a full audit of your mattresses and your mattress protectors. Overall room was very tired (just like us the following morning, zing!) Maybe we were just very unlucky. But it would take a lot. A lot, for us to book with this hotel again.

Family room next to noisy wedding marquee
There were lots of good points such as the cleanliness of the room and the fact there are two double beds in a family room rather than a double and a sofa bed. Food service was good. We left early for Le Shuttle so didn’t get a chance to have breakfast but the seating area looked good and promising for an enjoyable breakfast. The garden looks nice with a bandstand. However, the whole experience was not positive nor up to the standard we expected for the cost of the stay. The hotel hosts weddings and has a large party marquee. When we arrived we struggled to park our car in the car park due to wedding guests parking and it was tricky to park our caravan. We were given a room where the window looked out to the wedding marque. The loud music and bass line thumped through our room even with the windows closed. We asked for a solution as we had an early train with 4.30am alarm and were given a different room which was quieter but you could still hear the music and now also the next room’s TV (potentially in loud to drown out party music). I’m not against weddings or parties but if I had been notified at booking that there would be a wedding party I would not have booked this hotel.

Building was very well maintained although it is an older facility with narrow halls. Hotel staff needs to better control the EV parking places and prevent petrol/diesel vehicles from taking spots needed to charge electric vehicles.

I loved Martin who managed the front desk- he did everything to make our stay. The only issue not resolved was the phone didn’t work in our room.

Decent hotel
The check in process was slow and slightly chaotic but the staff were kind. We stayed there while we waited to board a cruise ship. There are no Ubers or hotel shuttle to the cruise terminal. The front desk called us a taxi and recommended that we schedule a taxi for the following day to get us to the cruise terminal. It was the BEST advice and if we did not take it would have been walking. There are no sidewalks and the streets are CRAZY. We did walk to a cute Chinese pub that was fantastic. There is also a McDonalds you can walk to. If you want to buy wine for your cruise, you can buy it at the gas station by Walmart. Hotel was fine. I would probably stay there again.
