    Baths! I find getting in and out of baths tricky, and a shower would be much easier for people of limited mobility. Last year when I enquired about a shower, I was told that there was only one "disabled" bathroom in the entire hotel.

    The hotel is ideally placed for either an early or late ferry crossing. Breakfast was good, and the on site (mostly Italian based) restaurant meant a tasty meal could be enjoyed without having to drive anywhere. The staff all seemed pleasant and helpful.

    The restaurant was rather soulless and the food overpriced.

    Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Free parking. Short drive to Le Shuttle. Would stay again

    All went well - glad we looked at the access from the dual carriageway on the phone map beforehand.

    Helpful staff, evening meal was fine. Good car parking. We stayed here to get away early for the ferry to Calais.

    Basic hotel, but perfectly adequate and convenient for one night before catching an early ferry to France the next morning. The Bella Italia restaurant on site was rather nicer than expected. Overall, pretty good value for money.

    Friendly, professional & well presented hotel, perfect location for pre-France overnight stop.

    The aircon / heating / ventilation system in the room was unduly noisy which was disturbing. It also appeared to be affected by constructive interference from other noise sources (probably adjacent rooms' equivalent systems and/or the bathroom fan) which meant the humming sound level varied quite considerably depending where you were in the room.

    Arrival was smooth and welcoming. Parking was excellent; well arranged at the front of the hotel and reasonably secure, with good oversight from the front desk / lobby area. The room was clean and well presented, as were the public areas. The Bella Italia restaurant provided a very good and reasonably priced evening meal without need to go elsewhere. The service in the restaurant was also good. The breakfast service in the same dining space was similarly good - wide selection and appreciated.

    We had asked for a twin room (for me and my brother-in-law) but were given a double. Staff on site solved our problem.

    Convenience to facilities and port. Bt was serving even though it seemed closed after we had arrived quite late.
