Stayed one night with my wife on Friday 2 July 2010. Travelled from London by train, via Ashford, after finishing work. Reception closes at 6pm but hotel confirmed by phone and email (very quick with replies) that it would be okay to pick-up keys at 7pm (and just to call if we would be arriving later and receptionist would stay on). Room was clean and more spacious than I expected, Ensuite/ walk-in shower did the job, shampoo/ conditioner/ soap provided (take toothpaste) the hotel fronts on to the main road so you may be disturbed in the morning if you want a lie in, but wasn’t an issue for us, check out by 10.30am. Staff were friendly and hands off i.e. check in and carry on and we’re around if you need anything there is a free phone in the lobby if you need to speak to them out of hours. One key for room and one key for front door. No breakfast included but we just walked up the road to ‘The George’ (corner of High Street and Lion Street) for a superb cooked breakfast. Then number 100 bus to Camber Sands for a day at the beach which was the purpose of the stay – so £55 for the room and happy with what we got for it.
