Quick overnight stay
Cons:

You could hear the kitchen extraction fan from the room, a low hum, and breakfast being served from 8am, didn’t work for me- although the team did prepare me a breakfast roll and coffee ro go.

Kleines Schmuckstück nahe am Eurotunnel.
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und wir wurden sofort in ein besser erreichbares Zimmer umquartiert, als man unsere Koffer (3 Wochen Rundreise) sah. Das Essen war super. Und wir haben sehr bequem geschlafen. Zudem sehr hundefreundlich.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr ländlich in einem Örtchen gelegen, in welchem man mit Hund nicht sehr gut spazieren gehen konnte.
