Brilliant couple of nights staying here with my friend. The staff are always so friendly also the lovely Manager Lewis. It’s a perfect location for shopping, eating and drinking. Excellent cocktails 241 between 3-5pm.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was excellent, the bed was really comfortable.
Some of the room firnishings were a bit "tired" and the carpet looked a bit grubby.
Good location for where I was heading the following day
I was satisfied notn to say I didn like
They room was very nice and clean And pool was fantastic
Room could do with a little updating for the price we paid
Location is great if you travel via Folkestone.
Not a 4 star hotel or the standards have dropped dramatically. Very expensive in general, £40 pounds extra just for a small dog.
Lovely spacious rooms, good service, great food and friendly helpful staff
Nothing
Very efficient staff, clean, good sized room with excellent breakfast
The road noise can be bad early morning with rush hour traffic
The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Fit our needs well and was in a good location for our event.
The room could have been cleaned more thoroughly, there was a good amount of dust and there were stains along the walls and carpet.
Nice hotel, good location. Received a warm welcome from friendly staff. Great breakfast selection.
Many lockers were out of order in female pool changing room and no spin drier.
Very comfortable bed and pillows, clean, good location, helpful staff and would stay again
Nothing
Food in the restaurant was good. Rooms were large Plenty of hangers in wardrobe. Iron and board in room Good amount of tea and coffee in room Bed comfy
Noisy location. Close to main road. Despite windows closed still loud noise Rooms very tired. Mould on inside of room window. Lighting poor. No reading lights each side of bed. No beside sockets or USB points. Only one bedside table Bathroom. Poor shower facility. Sealant mouldy in bathroom.
The pool ànd hot tub were the highlight of this overnight stay
The place is old and in disrepair. There was a scarcity of staff.
Has a gym with swimming pool sauna and steam room.
It’s showing its age and becoming dated. Surprised parking isn’t included as part of the stay. Expensive for what it is
The breakfast choices were very good. I liked 20% off food and drink for no room cleaning; everyone's a winner. The size of rooms with a small sofa and 2 big beds was a bonus.
I didn't know the area and didn't know it was on such a main road. I did ask for a quiet room and was given an inward looking room fortunately
Coffee and tea in the room good value for money spacious room
renew the carpet! Hotel needs renovation but good value for money. No Airco
Gunstige ligging t.o.v. M20
Zakelijk hotel, prijs/kwaliteit restaurant viel tegen.
Good location next to a retsil park, M&S and Costa, easy access to motorway. Rooms nothing special but clean and good shower. Paid parking butplenty of spaces
Breakfast very good. Location good⁰
The bathroom is shabby needs updating. Sink and toilet especially
We booked this hotel as it was close to Detlng antique fair. The room was a good size and comfortable. It was fully equipped with the usual kettle and iron etc. Breakfast was an excellent buffet.
The shower had poor pressure. We had to wait a bit too long for bar service in late afternoon and some tables hadn't been cleared of previous food and drink orders. There was a lack of plug points in our room.
Great staff, clean and comfortable
Sausages at breakfast were poor quality
Very responsive and super helpful host. Great location on a very quiet street but also close to the bus stop for easy access to town or the historic dunes. Not far to walk to the beach either. Well equipped kitchen.
Unfortunately it was very dusty and set a couple of us off with our dust allergies. Kitchen drawers and cupboards also needed to be cleaned. Space to sleep 6 adults but short on seating in the lounge area unless you brought in a couple of garden chairs. En-suite bathroom doesn't have a toilet, just a shower and basin. Fundamentally the house was a good place to stay and we enjoyed our time there.
Gute Lage nahe der Autobahn für die Durchreise, ordentliches Frühstück
Great staff great place excellent food and service

Betten top und Zimmer komfortabel und sauber. Bestes Frühstücksbuffet auf unserer Englandreise. Schöner Pool und Sauna sowie Dampfbad. Auch das Restaurant am Abend war sehr gut. Top Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Food and drinks are extremely expensive.
Location was nice, good facilities & it has a relaxed vibe.
£6 a day charge for parking
It’s location, the facilities and the staff who were very helpful. We arrived before 3pm, which is the book in time, and our room was not ready but we were able to use the pool which was lovely and refreshing ,
Nothing it was great, nice bar a Starbucks on site lots of places to relax, and the rooms are large.
Spacious rooms, comfortable beds, large reception area, breakfast, coffee bar, friendly staff, on site car park.
Charging hotel residents for parking, decor a little tired in communal areas, fixed height shower head.
Location for our needs, military show, and ongoing travel to euro tunnel, next day, parking near to my room, as we had a disabled room due to my disability, access via patio door, excellent for our access to and from room. All the staff from front desk, cleaning staff as needed more milk cartons, to restaurant staff, friendly and informative, big thank you for that, even bumped into the on off hotel cat on the way to breakfast.
The hotel is feeling it age, and in some places looking its age, though staff members help avoid the feeling of the age of hotel.
Service
Staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was nice.
We stayed at this hotel one night after a wedding, we came back a bit tipsy and noticed a bug on the wall. We had only just come into the room with our luggage and it was on the far side of the room so it definitely was not something we brought into the room. I jokingly said it looked like a cockroach but didn't quite believe it to he true, surely not, I thought. We killed it and didn't think much of it and didn't even think ti mention it the next morning. Having come back home, unpacked our bags, one of these bugs appeared. We captured the bug this time. Definitely a roach. The hotel room seemed clean but they definitely need to fumigate. I won't be staying again.
Este curat și personalul f amabil
Nu mi-a plăcut ca la micu dejun erau prea puține și. U erau variate să poată mânca și un baby
It was generally clean and environment was conducive
No lift or support staff to help with big bags. The toilet needs some deep chemical cleaning cos it had I think rust like stains.
Very nice hotel and staff
Breakfast was good we was very pleased with the staff and for everything very comfortable if we are in Maidstone we will book again Richard and Josephine Horsted
We don’t think you could do anything better my granddaughter and her children they also stayed and I was very happy to.
Flexibility to accommodate
Location fine - Sausages were awful - beef I think? Hash Brown's didn't look like they had been cooked. No apricot jam, no hazelnut spread, no honey 3 out of 5 not great?
Room was next to Spa so not quiet at all .Corridor very noisy early in morning and late at night think a couple of wedding parties. On arrival Friday evening Few Eastern European men outside hotel drinking beer and smoking unsure if we're staying at hotel? However they were back there at 8.00. A.m next morning doesn't create good impression out front whether staying at hotel or not
The cleaness if the room.
I saw 2 spuders in the bathroom
Staff were friendly Room spacious enough for 2 adults and two children. Breakfast was a good variety, good location to le shuttle euro tunnel
Room we were in was very run down , needed a lot of repairs and generally not up to the 4* standards at all. The toilet flush was broken and would just walk out of the wall . See photos
Location to Le Shuttle. Breakfast was good and good selection.
Noisey Road, no sound proofing so could hear the road, asked to be moved, but no rooms available. Very tired rooms, stains on carpet, tatty bathroom, needs an upgrade. No aircon, had to have fan on, as too noisey to leave windows open
De ruime kamer, heerlijke ontbijt en fijne zwembad.
Pool was excellent and the women at reception of my date of entry was exceptional. Didn't get her name but she was brilliant. Staff cleaned our room and gave us more towels for each day which was excellent. Thanks again 👍🏼

Breakfast was okay, my family didn’t like the dinner. I didn’t eat but the cheese on my daughter pizza wasn’t good quality.
The shower curtain leaked
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and grand. My room was very spacious clean, quiet and very comfortable. The spa and gym are great. 12pm checkout is very helpful.
The pool was cold.
Wir sind mit unserem Hund gereist und haben ein sehr geräumiges Familienzimmer bekommen. Es ist völlig unproblematisch, mit dem Hund zu frühstücken, da wir das Essen mit in die angrenzende Lobby nehmen konnten.
Leider dürfen Kinder das Schwimmbad abends nicht mehr nutzen. Ich kann das grundsätzlich nachvollziehen, aber wenn man wie wir nur für eine Nacht auf Durchreise ist und erst Spätnachmittags ankommt, dann ist die Enttäauschung bei den Kids natürlich groß.
Polite stuff, easy to access facilities, the whole place was a ten out of ten
The room was fantastic and there was a high powered fan as requested. Very comfortable bed
The breakfast. Chef immediately cooked two fresh fried eggs superbly but the hash browns were anaemic, only one type of sausage so no good if you don't like herby bangers, button mushrooms must have come out of a 2 gallon drum with no flavour. The bacon was OK, but apart from the freshly cooked eggs, everything was luke warm. It was a shame because it could have been outstanding
Comfortable accommodation
Breakfast could be better
Great hotel friendly staff
Very good
Very nice
Chambre agréable ,bon breakfast
L’accès à l’hôtel n’est pas facile et il faut vraiment le code GPS pour y arriver
Blöd einmal durch das komplette hotel zu dackeln um uns Schwimmbad zu kommen
Swimming pool - little cold but still fun Breakfast - lots of options and kept topped up Room service - lots of choices and arrived quickly and warm
Old decor Lots of scuffs and marks in the room Hot in room and only fans available Mould under soap holder

Lovely clean and friendly

Great location on route to the ferry. Food was good, hot and plentiful. The variety of bakery goods was excellent at breakfast. We had a family room and reception gave our boys activity packs which was lovely. We will stay again and make use of the pool!
.
Nettes Personal. Der Pool ist gut. Gute Auswahl beim Frühstück.
Facilities and calmness of the hotel. Even though the hotel was very busy with 3 weddings on the hotel was quiet and did not get disturbed and did not feel busy at all.
Very clean and comfortable
Woken up at 6.30 am by inconsiderate quests making a noise in the hall.
Hotel was very dated No ac in the rooms meant we couldn’t sleep Restaurant food felt like it was fresh from the microwave Breakfast felt like a truckers cafe with sticky tables and bland food Gym staff ignored us and grunted Lockers were all broken in the changing rooms Other than that … it was great !
Good location for motorways, helpful staff, decent breakfast, dog-friendly
Slightly dated
no air con
Rapport qualité prix excellent.
Decoration style ancien.
Very good location, excellent value for the money and the staff especially at reception are helpful and attentive.
It’s a little tired and that makes it appear grubby.
Grote kamer met 2 ruime bedden, een prima hotel als je op doorreis bent.
Großes Bett Später Checkout Parkplatz
Viel zu kalte Klimaanlage in Lobby, Bar und Restaurant
Convenient location for one night on way to the continent.
Room was spacious and clean staff were friendly and breakfast was excellent.
Had to pay for parking. No air con so room was very hot although there were 2 designs in room but they didn’t really help. Room was a bit tired bathroom needed updating and redecorating.
The pool was great, and a lovely breakfast. Nice big room and beds were comfortable.
There weren’t loads of staff when we needed them in the morning
Staff
Policies
Very spacious rooms. Swimming pool. Plenty of parking
Cleaners very noisy in the morning. Very handy for a one night stop not far from motorway but we stayed on a Sunday & here wasn’t any buses running so it was quite a walk into town
The room was nice and spacious with some good seating options. It exceeded our expectations. Comfortable & soft bed. Nice functional bathroom.
Breakfast was only ok. We both did not like the taste of the coffee. Not many gluten free options. Children enjoyed their pancakes.
Size of family room is amazing
Everything was great
Perfect location
No air conditioning it was hot summer
Die Zimmer waren groß und die Betten sehr bequem. Spa Bereich und Gym waren top. Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig
Man merkt es ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber das stört nicht
Beds are so comfy and rooms are a great size.
The doors to all rooms are so loud, all we heard until about midnight was slamming doors! I appreciate this is other guests being inconsiderate but never stayed at a hotel with doors that are so loud!
We've stayed here a few times now, the staff are amazing they are all so very friendly and nothing seems to much trouble. Rooms are nice and clean facilities spot on as always.
I felt that despite my accessibility request I was still put in a room too far from facilities, even tho I was told before arrival I was close to reception, this was more than 3/4 down the corridor, in my honest opinion thats not close to reception, this meant we didn't enjoy the pool/spa as much as we planned. We would normally swim at least once a day we only went a few times because each time the walk was just too painful. I did feel like this has put a cloud on our visit. When we checked in they said they are fully booked so she couldn't even move us :-(. I wouldn't nessisarly let this put me off for future visits, as we have been successfully put in rooms more suitable in the past, I would likely be a little more vocal and ask to be the end of the corridor near the entrance to the hotel, I'd like to think if I had complained as such they would have looked at any room vacancies they might have but I hate making a fuss, and moving rooms seems so much stress for all. I have to take some responsibility with this for not complaining but I hate being that person so tried to suck it up now back home feeling the effects of that extra walking each time we left the hotel. Lesson learnt.
Amazing spacious rooms for families, plus the addition of the swimming pool for the kids. The breakfast is really good too.
Hotel with own swimming pool and sauna. Huge size of the room. Staff at the reception and in the restaurant are very helpful.
There is no lift for the second floor. No A/C in the room, even after heatwave, there is no chance to sleep without a fan.
Wygodbe łóżka, byl basen i siłownia, dobre śniadanie , duzy pokoj
Brak klimatyzacji w pokoju, nie mogliśmy spać tak bymo goraco, stanowczo za drogo w stosunku do jakości, opłata 30 funtów za psa to jakies nieporozumienie, pies nie dostał nawet jednego smaczka.
The room was spacious and well equipped.with free water and a fridge. There was a great choice at breakfast both cooked and continental. All the staff were polite and helpful.
Not enough disabled parking- only 2 spaces that we could see.
Good location, fairly priced. Large comfortable bedrooms which were very quiet. Breakfast was good. A pleasant outside garden to sit in. M&S right behind the hotel which was great
We used the pool which was very cloudy and we found the filters at the bottom of the pool were completely blocked with hair and tissue which was not pleasant.
Everything
N/A
Nothing really
The staff working there weren’t friendly. The bottles of water were very expensive. Hotels give water for free. The toilet wasn’t so clean. There was no AC so it was so warm that we couldn’t sleep.
The weather was lovely and the outside sitting area was nice. They placed a birthday banner and balloons in our room free of charge which I was grateful for.
The breakfast was unsatisfactory, it gave us tummy ache so we just had cereal instead, scrambled eggs had a funny smell, sausage and bacon didn’t taste well, chopped fruits like watermelon were not fresh probably used again from previous days . Paid all that money for breakfast and we didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy due to the conditions of the food. Mugs were stained, glasses not properly washed. Environment not very friendly and pool looked bigger in the photos. Sauna and steam room took very long to warm up in the morning. Jacuzzi water was cold rather than warmish. Bed sheets weren’t changed despite them being visibly dirty. Car park should be free due to amount of money being paid to stay at hotel. Would not return
F&B staff were amazing and very accommodating
There was a wet old towel hanging in the bathroom
Large clean room, good facilities.
Water glasses weren't clean in the restaurant.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich! Die Lage für eine Zwischenübernachtung von Deutschland nach Cornwall super. Es gibt einen schönen Pool. Das Hotel ist sehr hundefreundlich.
Swimming pool, size and location of the room, staff friendliness, on-site parking
Breakfast was not so good: eggs swimming in oil, bacon all stuck together and consistency of cardboard. Toaster was constantly getting jammed up and burning the toast so we decided not to bother having toast. Dinner: sea bass accompanied by 7 small pieces of french beans (pitiful quantity) and the side order of veg was forgotten so I had to ask for it again. Ordered a pint of soda water and lime but the soda water was flat. Asked for it to be changed and the replacement was also flat, so I gave up asking. Meal overpriced but we are so used to this nowadays that we don’t complain anymore. No air conditioning in the room; I should have double checked when booking but had assumed it did. To the management: Don’t offer 20%off food in exchange for foregoing room servicing. Most people want to save the planet and don’t need these incentives.
The location is OK as it's easy to get to and is close enough to the town that if you felt energetic you could walk. However it is on a main bus route. The food was good and had a good menu choice The breakfast menu was also good.
The only downside to our stay was that the room was very hot and we had to have fans going constantly. Having said that the weather conditions were exceptionally hot. Under normal conditions it would have been fine.
Good sized room - great pool/gym facilities. Great location for what we needed! Absolutely phenomenal breakfast including a whole gluten free station and so much choice.
No air con so had to keep the fans on all night. Good big sized fan provided though.
