Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I’ve stayed at a few of the dartford surrounding hotels and for value I like this one. Staff are always friendly and brekfast is fine. Rooms are clean and comfortable:
Lovely staff .. really made our stay fabulous..
Maybe a bit of spray bleach in the shower and some new 🆕 pillows .. and you’d be 100%
Excellent value for money
Breakfast was fantastic..
The gentleman who was working night shift was extremely polite,professional,patient and very kind.He checked in and helped me tirelessly even with parking and any service I requested..I am soo disappointed I forgot to take his name.He deserves an award for excellence in customer care.
