Great for an overnight stay
Nice hotel, friendly staff. Room was comfortable even though a little small for a family of 3. Perfect for a stay before catching a ferry.

A hotel on the coast
Right across the road to the beach. I great spot to explore Dover and the surrounding area. An older hotel, but has that classic feel to it. Parking was good, but we were lucky to find a spot each time we went out.

Great A/C
The location is great. Right on the water. Close to everything to see in Dover. Very clean, friendly staff. A/C was great. Amenities in the room were new looking. The only negatives were, small bathroom, elevator was slow which would normally not be a problem but we were there on a weekend when the cruise ships were swapping passengers.
