Comfortable hotel near to ferry port.
Pros:

Comfortable hotel, friendly staff. Room was nice size with all the necessary amenities. Very clean and fresh. Ideal location for the ferry port. Will definitely stay here again when we go to France

Cons:

The restaurant slightly let it down. My fish was inedible. Hard overcooked batter, no visible fish inside. It was replaced and that was ok. We were given a bowl of complimentary olives! I think no charge for my food should have been given.

Pros:

The bed was comfortable

Cons:

The room was small and cold. The restaurant food was almost inedible and very expensive for re-heated ready meals. Not what you expect from Holiday Inn

Outstanding Dinner
Pros:

We tried the Bombay Night at Olive Tree restaurant, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish.
The food was absolutely delicious. Buffet was with variety of dishes to share, hot & cold starters, mains including butter chicken, paneer tikka, biryani, garlic naan( freshly made), Prawns and dal makhani. Every dish was rich in flavor, beautifully spiced, and tasted fresh. The butter chicken was creamy and comforting, the lamb biryani was fragrant and perfectly cooked, and the naan came out hot and soft—ideal for scooping up all the flavorful curries.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. Service was smooth and timely, even though the restaurant was busy.

Overall, it was a fantastic family dinner best Indian buffet by far. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!
