Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is not recommended under any circumstances. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment with old windows, tatty chairs, and unclean amenities. The meal was tasteless, and there were hygiene issues with dust and rust. Avoid this place due to poor maintenance and cleanliness.
The hotel offers large and clean rooms with a warm atmosphere and an excellent breakfast. The service is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff throughout. The location, though close to the ferry terminal, is well cooked and served by very friendly staff, though leaves something to be desired in terms of security.
The hotel has some ups and downs. The rooms, although clean, felt a bit dated and had a lingering smell of stale smoke. The service was top-notch, especially the helpful bar maid. The location, though needing updating, was a great bargain for its proximity to Brands Hatch Race Track. The dining experience was fantastic. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel room was comfy and spacious, allowing for a restful sleep. However, there were some noise disturbances from the laundry activities nearby. The bar service was a bit slow, but the hardworking staff tried their best to keep up. The room itself looked a bit worn out and lacked some amenities like sufficient milk supply.
