The hotel is straight forward to find and while your at it fill up your car you are passing Tesco. The booking in was straight forward while registering your car details is another story. One should book in while the other does the car (hard work if your on your own) details must be a nightmare on a busy day. The room and bathroom were both clean and tidy and numerous channels on the TV but why stay in, get out. The bulb was missing from the main desk lamp but it was no great hardship. Breakfast was what we wanted and there was a good selection available to suit most people's taste. There is a Fish & Chip shop at the top of the road (on the right past the road junction) and a MacDonald's on the Tesco car park. Folkstone direct is a couple of miles away but there's a good walk to Folkstone from the hotel by turning right at Horn Street and going in via the two Martello towers and the military cemetery you can also visit the Military Canal (Google Map it) takes about 1hr 30mins. A good hotel, in a good location and with good staff what more does any one want - bon journey. We don't mention sleep as you either have a good sleep or you don't: simple. But you have to tick the box or you can't move on - why!

All areas of the hotel were very clean. All staff were lovely, friendly, polite and professional. Room was well sized with a huge and very comfortable bed. Air-con meant the temperature could be controlled and was always comfortable to ensure a really good sleep. Breakfast was included and was really tasty with plenty of choice from both continental and cooked. Very well located for the channel tunnel, well priced and soooo much better than Premier Inn. Couple of things though: parking is NOT free. One night costs £6.00 for residents. A small area of the car park has tables and chairs and while it's a reasonable gesture no-one used it while I was there and the condition of the furniture was pretty poor. The weeds growing outside the main entrance could and should be removed and the outside areas better maintained.

So this place is extremely close to to Channel Tunnel, basic bit clean, really nice atmosphere people going on holiday and wonderful service personality (really nice staff). Even better if: outside area upgraded with food service, also somebody making sure food presentation better and hot. The ping of the microwave and basic presentation let it down. Overall it’s a good pit stop. Not really to IHG standard but easily could be.
