Hotel is nice, staff are brilliant. Only downside is the parking..... Just make sure you stick to the terms and conditions to avoid a fine..... If you have a slightly larger vehicle no chance of parking in the small spaces

Good stay, would have been a lot more enjoyable if we had been made aware in advance that the road right outside the hotel was being shut during our stay. This led to added to our journey time and was very inconvenient.

We stayed here on our way to Dover ferry port. We were very impressed with the staff who were all very helpful. We had to leave early to catch our ferry and were very impressed that the staff let us take some pastries in to go bags and coffees in our flasks from the breakfast buffet!

I rang Expedia to ask if we could cancel our second night as member of family is unwell. They rang manager who said no. This hotel Sides onto A2 if you get the wrong room it can keep you awake. We were asked if we wanted to move the second night. It meant we had to pack up as my husband isn’t good with mobility decided to stay as we were going home the next day. Also it costs £3.a night for parking.
