"The hotel is very clean and the staff are wonderful. They are so polite, extremely helpful and moved us to a different room when we had a problem with noise above us. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and had plenty of hot water. The free breakfast was very good and parking was half price provided we registered the car on their system. It was less than 10 minutes from Eurotunnel which was a real bonus."
