Perfect for eurotunnel

Perfectly located for an overnight on the Euro Tunnel. Breakfast was delicious. Buffet style or cooked. Large carpark. I had a ground floor room- minimal noise at night. (Although the bathroom door needs an oil!) good shower for my 1.8m but if you’re taller then it’s a little low! Hard water so needed to unclog a few of the jets in the shower head but good pressure and temperature. Beds comfortable enough. Restaurant attached really nice for evening meals. Bar was lovely too.

The whole staff was very helpful and personable, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Tony, who went above and beyond. I called an Uber on my last day, and it kept delaying the arrival time. When I became concerned about missing my train, and a taxi was going to take too long to arrive, Tony took me to the train station himself--talk about going the extra mile! (Also, note that Uber is currently not reliable in Canterbury--hopefully that will change in the future).

Room was fine, the bathroom was very clean, the beds were on the hard side. The restaurant was a bit average, my wife and I had the carvery in the evening and it was a bad choice (dry end pieces of meat probably untouched since the lunch service, and school dinner veg). Our son had steak and enjoyed it after a long wait (we had given up eating our carvery by the time his arrived). Otherwise not a bad choice for a visit to Canterbury with the town centre around a 15min walk.
