The hotel is easy to find and has a decent sized car park at the rear of the building. The outside looks tatty and the adverts/awards in the windows are all dated. We checked in with no problems and the guy was very helpful although he wasn't based on site and closed reception as soon as we had our keys. This was unfortunate as once we got to the room we realised we didn't have the wifi code. The hotel number was permanently engaged and there was no sign of anyone on the ground floor. The room was clean, reasonably modern, spacious and had a desk for working. There was no internal lock or bolt on the door which was frustrating and there was also no pole to adjust the venetian blinds to close them, which meant we had daylight in the room at 4AM. On the plus side, we were on the second floor so could leave the windows open to get some cool night air in. Overall, a mixed stay at a reasonable price.

Used the hotel as a night stop before an early ferry. It served thus purpose well was clean fidy with an easy check in helpful manager / owner. The hotel is a little dated but tidy and great for our 1 night stay only 15 minutes from either the ferry or eurotunnel.

Quiet, clean and good location. We were very kindly welcomed. I understand that the hotel was taken over short time ago. It will take some time and effort to bring it up to a more modern standard, but neverrheless we had a good stay there. I hope we can return again!

A quiet and clean hotel where guests are made very welcome. Locstion is nice and close to the city center. I understand that the hotel is taken over by another owner not too long ago, so there is some work to do to make it even nicer. I hope to return here in the future.
