The hotel was fine for an overnight stay before the shuttle. Breakfast was good. Staff were polite and helpful. Bed was a bit small, but we managed. Being next to the motorway noise was expected but I’m sure they could insulate the windows more.

Quick overnight stay before morning crossing to France in tunnel. Clean and comfortable. Good bed and bathroom clean. Unusual toiletry scents - Parsley stem and purple Kale? Breakfast was standard buffet and OK. Not too busy at 8am when we visited.

All ok had the breaded mushrooms, huge bowl of them ,only a tiny pot of garlic mayonnaise, would of been much better with a tiny garnish ,less mushrooms and more mayonnaise. Then when i was using the hairdryer it litterally blew up in my hand bright flash of electricity, smoke and room plunged into darkness.
