We chose this property as it was close to the channel crossing and it had a swimming pool. The restaurant was fantastic quality food and fairly priced. The bed was very comfortable, we had be travelling round France and stayed in many hotels, and this was first hotel we found that had perfect pillows, not to high or low. The breakfast was equally delicious and they served real croissants and pain au chocolates. You’d think every French hotel would do that but actually majority serve out of the packet long life pastry. Staff are all very friendly and speak perfect English. We will certainly be back next time we are travelling back from France to UK.

Cannot think of anything we didn’t like and we are usually quite critical.

The reception staff were exceptionally pleasant and professional, providing us with a warm and welcoming arrival. Due to a change in our plans, we had to depart during the early hours. The lovely lady at Reception kindly prepared a coffee for us to take away, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Thank you for the outstanding service.

Our experience at the hotel restaurant was somewhat disappointing. The staff were not particularly proactive; we struggled to order a second drink and eventually decided to go to the bar ourselves. While the food was of an adequate standard, it has been better on previous visits. At no point were we asked if our meals were satisfactory, and we also found it difficult to get a member of staff’s attention when we wished to pay. Overall, the service did not meet the standard we have come to expect.

We stayed an emergency night at the Holiday Inn after our car broke down and we missed our ferry back to the UK. We had two very distressed young, disabled children, and thankfully, the Holiday Inn was perfect. We were able to check in quickly with helpful staff, and the children quickly calmed down in our very spacious room. We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel the next morning which had something we could all enjoy. We also made use of the pool facilities with the children, to keep them occupied while we waited for our insurance to sort out our repatriation to the UK.

Sadly we had to book in for a second night at the Holiday Inn and our original room wasn't available so we had to move. I appreciate this couldn't be helped but it's worth noting that our second room was much smaller than our original room, but more expensive!

Great location in the countryside with large grounds and very near the Chunnel. The interior was attractive and it was easy for one of our party, who has mobility problems, to get around. She was in a disabled room, which was connected to the room I was in, which made communication easy. Our evening meal was very French and tasty, and the breakfast buffet was also good. The staff were so nice and friendly. We were most entertained by the little flock of chickens in the garden. In all our expectations were pleasantly exceeded.

My only suggestion would be that a pot of brewed coffee would have been nice for breakfast. The coffee machine coffee was rather weak.

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the facilities like the pool, the wet sauna and the squash court. Plenty of towels, soap, robes and slippers, hair dryer, iron, cups, even a sewing kit - impressive.

The sofa that was used as a bed for our teenage son was very creaky and loud. Also, it took a long time for the water to get warm enough for shower. In addition, the kettle was full of limescale, pieces of it were floating at each use, so we weren't able to use the heated water. One of the towels had 2 big yellowish stains. The restaurant's menu is poor and the pool table was out of order.

The hotel is near the Channel Tunnel and the car ferry dock while slightly outside the city. With this, this hotel makes for a great stop when crossing from the EU to the UK and vice versa. With a good amount of parking spaces including charging stations for electric vehicles, a spa area with a workout space, a small but clean pool, as well as a restaurant and a bar, this place was the perfect pitstop on the way back home. For an additional fee, the hotel also offered a breakfast buffet.

There were little to no complaints other than a rather dark parking lot and a broken vending machine for swimming gear while I was there.

As always, Reception staff were outstandingly welcoming, friendly and helpful ( and even bore patiently our attempts to speak French!). The rooms remain spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The beds are especially comfortable. Once again, our request for a ‘fridge in the room was met without trouble. We have visited many times before over the years, and hope to do so again. We enjoy the setting, use of the swimming pool facilities and ease of access by car. We did not use the restaurant this visit and so cannot report whether the service and quality of food has improved. But it was not good in 2023 or in June of this year on our previous visits ( see my previous reviews thereon).

Possibly the restaurant ( but see above ).

Really beautiful hotel and a perfect distance from the ferry port at Calais if you’re breaking up a journey. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Bed was super comfortable and you can ring down for extra pillows if needed. My partner forgot his razor and was able to get one for free from reception too. I’d forgotten to add a travel cot to my booking but they’d seen I was travelling with a 2 year old and set one up for me anyway. Breakfast was really good quality and enjoyed by all of us. Mini bar was a nice touch. Parking was free and ample. Staff were all lovely, can’t fault it and would definitely stay here again.

Nothing

We had originally booked another hotel in Calais, however due to bad traffic, detours and other complications along the way, we were slated to arrive in Calais around 11 pm, which meant we were going to miss the check in time for our hotel and we would not be able to stay there. Absolutely exhausted from a long drive and fearing the worst (sleeping in the car), we called this Holiday Inn and were greeted by an extremely friendly and understanding receptionist who reassured us they are open 24/7 and had plenty of rooms available for a last minute booking. Once we booked, all the stress and anxiety of the day washed away as we knew we were in good hands. The hotel was very accessible and easy to find off the motorway following signs, and there was plenty of parking near the entrance. The staff were very friendly and patient with us as we exhaustedly lugged our bags into the reception - it must have been no more than 5 minutes from checking in at reception to getting into our room. I can't put into words how glad we were to be there - the room was fresh, clean, and the facilities were top notch. The beds were so comfortable and the room was so quiet that we slept extremely well and felt so refreshed the next morning. Breakfast was great with a wide range of options, including freshly baked pastries and the usual "continental breakfast" offerings which were decent. It was also very easy to navigate to the LeShuttle terminal nearby to catch our train back to Folkestone. Overall, thanks to this Holiday Inn, the final night of our holiday went from disaster to one of the most comfortable nights we had on our entire trip!

Brilliant location for a stopover. We stayed here on the way to our destination & on our way back & it was ideal. Close to LeShuttle & cite Europe shopping & eating. Room was great on both occasions, very quiet & comfortable. Pool, sauna & steam rooms were very clean & a nice place to chill out after a long journey

The only thing that we didn’t like was the restaurant service. We booked a table on check in but when we went to the restaurant at the requested time, they sat us at a bar stool style table in the bar area which we thought was odd as there seemed to be plenty of tables in the actual restaurant. The food service was very very slow, but the food quality was excellent.
