The overall experience was ok, given it is the only location by the beach, not in downtown, if you want to get easy access to the beach and walk to the white cliff. But the facilities was not in great condition. The fridge was not working (not cold), the hair dryer was not working.

Best stay at a hotel in ages! Stay here in Dover!

I had the best time here! I wasn't expecting this level of service from this brand but I must say, they knocked it out the park and my expectations were exceeded. The staff were super attentive, friendly and solution based. Comfy beds and couldnt fault the cleanliness. Breakfast buffet is spectacular. I really couldnt fault this place and will deff be back. Business travel or a weekend away as a couple this place has it all with the spa facilities downstairs.

The room booked was a Superior Sea View with Balcony with website rooms in that category showing light airy and spacious rooms. The one we were allocated was dark, dingy and you have to turn sideways to move between the end of the bed and TV fixed to the wall and I am of average build. The bathroom floor and toilet seat cover were soaking wet and a slip hazard, so no attention to detail on cleaning and finally the room decor was damaged and considering they are supposed to have renovated 1 year ago this room had taken a good battering. The breakfast service was a buffet, they seemed unable to manage the numbers of people coming through, e.g running low or out of food, juices, cups for hot drinks. The location is ok but I would not consider this a 4* hotel sadly. It does have potential but currently not living up to that from an overall condition, service or decor point of view. We changed rooms twice, the 3rd was good, but you shouldn't have to keep going back all those times, a 4* hotel should have all rooms well maintained and of a good size to satisfy the room category being booked. I geel sometimes when you go through a 3rd party booking site you are treated less favourably than direct bookings which is wrong and I hate having to complain but it seems the only way to get a room as advertised. Take a bit of shine off your break away when you have to have these types of conversation.
