Ideal for the early euro shuttle and friendly staff who were able to accommodate a takeaway breakfast. The only downside was how dark the rooms are with no overall lighting, only bathroom and bedside lighting. It made the 5am checkout more difficult as it was hard to see and find out stuff.

Exceptional value, Fantastic breakfast. The room was a little small for 2 adults and 2 kids but we will still like to go back again, The chairs in the breakfast area have splayed legs making them take up a lot of floor space aside that great place to stay, also its dog friendly not that we took one. :)

Fantastic location close to the channel tunnel with tescos and other amenities close by to grab essentials. Check in quick and easy and staff friendly and helpful. Similarly priced to other hotel chains but buffet breakfast was included for no extra cost, which was great. Will visit again

Nice and clean but noisy rooms
Nice and clean and good for using the le shuttle. Food options were not great and food wasnt that nice very basic and no taste. Rooms were nice and comfy however, we were a family of 6 that had to book 2 rooms to fit us all in and they put us in separate places. Me and 2 kids were in one of the conjoined rooms so had a door between us and next door and you could hear EVERYTHING! sneezing, TV, them talking and they were so loud until early hours of the morning. The doors are also not slow closing so would slam shut. Very dangerous especially for little kids

Good location for LeShuttle but...
The room had no air-conditioning or fan so the room was very hot during the night. We had to open the window and listen to the motorway.
