We only stayed one night with a 5:30am start. The check in was extremely easy and I must say Cameron went out his way to be pleasant to everyone. Jo in the restaurant was also very good and pleasant nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff and the hotel and management should be very proud of them.

First, the staff were all excellent. The evening meal was mediocre but the breakfast choice was good. However the whole experience was ruined by the reception area being more like Crufts than a hotel.

The convenient position for the channel tunnel was ideal and the parking was easy. The room was comfortable BUT there should have been a plug socket near the mirror.
