They were incredibly kind and helpful. When they found out we were a family traveling together, they upgraded our room to a family suite. The room was spotless, the breakfast was superb, and the staff were very nice.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and was impressed by the outstanding customer service. From the reception to the breakfast team, the staff provided warm and friendly hospitality. Special thanks to Murahi, Rohitha, Mellon, George, and Joel for their excellent service and for making my stay feel like a 5-star experience. I look forward to returning for another stay!

The staff are lovely and helpful , room really clean. Breakfast area quite small and busy. Located in the motorway so nothing around unless your driving other than a petrol station that is walking distance , overall great hotel

It's OK. We stayed in this hotel on the first day of the trip. Compared with other hotels in the whole trip, it was in the middle, neither good nor bad. The room was not big.

We had a fantastic 4 night say here. We have never been to this Area before and we found the location perfect for us. All the staff were so friendly and approachable, always smiling and asking how we were. The hotel was very clean and welcoming. Our room was lovely and clean.Breakfast was a great standard and the breakfast area was kept very clean. We ate in hotel one night and we were very pleased with the service, the quality of the food and the time it took to be served. This was our first visit here but it won’t be our last.

The 2 gentlemen managing the front desk were friendly and always smiling, asking if everything is ok or they could help. They helped with my bags to and from my room, which was greatly appreciated. Breakfast staff were cheerful and quick with service. Highly recommended!

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, good location only 7 miles from centre of Canterbury. Plenty of parking spaces, rooms are a good size and bed very comfortable. We ate in restaurant one evening, food was good, and the breakfast selection is great with nice fresh fruit too. The highlight of our stay was the staff, they are all so friendly and helpful. But we'd like to say a very special thanks to the young man Indi, he always stopped to chat, and made sure we had everything we needed. A true asset to the hotel, hopefully we will see you again on our next visit!
