Not good enough!
Double the price of Premier Inn but not double the experience. No tea bags in bedroom. No bedside cabinet on one side of bed so no were to place things whilst in bed. Only one lift and VERY busy. Gave up waiting and ended up walking three flights of stairs

Great stay!
Perfect base for us for the night before our eurotunnel crossing. Onsite bar is good for food in the evening and has a wide selection of drinks! Limited selection for breakfast but a nice mix of hot and cold food - everything you need for a decent breakfast before your onward journey. Rooms are perfect for what we needed and were clean. Staff really friendly and helpful!

Totally unsanitary!
TOTALLY UNSANITARY! Leaking toilet. Each time the toilet was flushed it leaked water onto the floor. Issue only noticed when our 2 young children were in bed so we couldnt swap rooms. However once we raised it, no-one seemed to care. Left with a floor that we had to clean, and a toilet that we couldnt flush. Issue raised 4 times since by email and customer services. I intend to contact the Department for Health.
