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.

Perfect for the Eurotunnel
Better than i expected. Food was nice enough. Catered to dietary requirements. Good size room for dog. One criticism, give that many people with dogs stay here, it would be nice to have an exercise area for them. Tbe 'pathway' over the road is not nice at all.

Great stay before getting Le Shuttle
One night stay before heading to Le Shuttle. Check in was quick and easy. Several parking spaces available on arrival late at night. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hot, tasty and plentiful with options to take away for those on earlier trains. Very smooth and efficient.

Won't stay there again.Expect better for the price
We were given a disabled room which we hadn't requested and with facilities we didn't want or need. On arrival and throughout our stay the bathroom floor was wet (due to sink tap leaking and very stiff to use). Toilet flush extremely weak. We reported these but it was just noted! It was not completely soundproof (could here people walking above). There was a green light on the ceiling in the room which we couldn't switch off and was preventing us from getting to sleep. At 10.45 p.m. we complained and a man came who put some black tape over it! We had an awful (microwaved?) meal for £14 each which we couldn't eat. Breakfast was fine.

Windows in room not fit for purpose, lots of noise all night from traffic, breakfast was really awful not sure I’d call it breakfast at all… how it could get so bad I don’t know but it makes you wonder about hygiene and how they cook it. for £140 I’d expect a lot a lot better. Very poor overall experience even for one night - not rested at all.

Great location for chunnel, staff are spot-on.
We stayed as we had an early Chunnel crossing and this is a very convenient location. I wasnt expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, staff were first class - late check in at 22.30, staff were happy and polite. Earky check out 5am, staff were happy and polite.. really refreshing. We left too early to eat breakfast, but they gave us a breakfast and coffee to take away. Bed was comfy, shower was good. There's a bar and restaurant, but i didnt try them. Only note is parking is a little limited, spaces are small. Oh yeah, and people like me are leaving at 5am, so it can be a little noisy in the morning.
