Okay and value for what you pay

Room and hotel were tired, but this was reflected in what we paid for it. Perfect for an overnight stay before picking up the Shuttle which is 15 mins away. Plentiful buffet breakfast for an additional £12 pp (but only £10.50 if we’d paid there), however it was swimming in grease and we’d recommend giving it a miss and picking up something at the terminal.

I was told by someone who lived in the area that I stayed at the worst Hotel in England. I booked it last minute because I needed a place to sleep before crossing the channel. I picked the cheapest place in the area so I got what I paid for. However, it could have been better. I paid the same amount on France side but much much better quality Hotel.

I booked a premier room but the decor was tired the wallpaper was bubbled the bathroom door did not shut properly. The bathroom was dirty and the window seals had blown. There was only one person serving on the bar in the evening so took ages to get a drink and the breakfast was very poor.

Although very clean there was no mirror hanging on the wall, there was clearly a space for it. We had absolutely no hot water despite running the tap for ages. Recently refurbished room with new mattresses although these were extremely uncomfortable.

Never will we forget.

A Hotel never to forget..... Was possibly the busiest weekend being Bank Holiday...... I've never seen such a busy reception /foyer... It is totally Budget end of the spectrum and EXTREMELY popular. You get what you pay for and the regulars are happy. People we met were great, down to earth, real people..... Regards breakfast, decoration, bathroom(I don't want to give a bad review)....... This place fills a need for people on tight budgets(or who are just tight)..... Will never forget.

Okay for the price

This hotel is suitable for a short stay of one or two nights. The room is very basic, and the hotel's condition could be improved. It's important to note that you get what you pay for; this is not a luxury hotel. However, the location is great.
