Calais stop over
The hotel is very convenient if arriving in Calais late. The decor and outside are in a very poor state of repair. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The car park is not secure and we found someone wearing a hoodie looking around our car very late in the night. We feared he was going to break into it.

Average hotel, but what ever you do don’t stay for a stopover in CALAIS, YES IF YOU READ THIS HEAD MY WARNING. THIS LAST TIME I HAD FOUR MIGRANTS TRASH THE LOCKS ON MY TRAILER AND GET INSIDE CAUSING MAYBE £1,500 worth of damage to my trailer and contents.when I noticed the damage to the trailer locks we called the police the migrants pushed open the door and calmly walked off leaving me to sort out the mess they left for me .. DONT STAY IN CALAIS,!!!!

Good Calais stopover
Overnight stay for catching ferry. Hotel very clean, room adequate, clean and the ensuite was a boost. Hotel entrance and reception tidy with some local information available. Staff very helpful and spoken English was good. Breakfast room was bright and airy and breakfast was plentiful as usual. Bread rolls, croissants, pain au chocolat, cheese ,jams and honey on offer along with choice of 2 cereals. Tea/coffee/hot chocolate available. Microwave and toaster also available. Enjoyed our stay. Well done to the staff for making it a pleasant experience.

Ideal overnight stop over. Could do with a decent pillow on the bed as the current ones are very small and have no head support. Easy to find and just a short drive to ferry, eurotunnel terminals.

Noisy hotel.
We had some youngsters near us on the ground floor who were running in and out of their rooms shouting and banging doors most of the night. Surprisingly no action by staff. They were going in and out of the rooms. Hardly got any sleep as we had s ferry to catch 6am.

Great value and helpful staff.
Cheap and cheerful stopover before the ferry home. Very good staff, helpful and friendly and spoke great English. Restaurant is only for breakfast, which was plentiful and good value, but not open in the evening. We ate next door at the Ibis, a set meal at around €20....a super deal. Well recommended for a cheap overnight.

A bit smelly but not too bad.
Price was good so we didn't expect much and the room was basic and small. Our main complaint was the lingering smell probably of tobacco smoke although it was supposed to be a non smoking room. Receptionist was very friendly. It wasn't really all that close to the ferry but we found our way to the ferry in about 10 minutes from the hotel.The wi-fi did not work
