    What a great place. We booked 2 days before for our family of 5. The room was perfect. Well equipped. And very clean. The warm welcome and private parking on the side of the property made our layover even easier. The room equipped with bank bed, king size and a single bed was just the ideal setup. The location in front of police station made us feel safe too. We will come again for sure.

    Cheap and cheerful. Only stayed here for a night. Location great for Dover Ferry crossing. Beautiful beach right outside. All I needed was a quiet clean room for the night and that’s what I got. It’s a low budget hotel but good location. Can’t complain. Paid more to stay in worse places. Very working man’s social club/Phoenix Nights feel which I don’t mind but not for you if not your thing.
