Overnight stopover to visit the Bluewater shopping centre. Clean, massive bed, air con, nice shower room although the sink was very slow draining. Breakfast was help yourself buffet with both full english items and continental cereals, fruit, pastries, juices etc. Would definitely go back again next time.

The staff were unremittingly cheerful and polite but over-burdened. If you needed attention at reception they were busy in the bar; if you needed help in your room they were busy in the restaurant. They had problems finding the form for help with evacuation in the event of a fire and they were unable to assist in its completion (It's an incomprehensible and useless form anyway.) When we arrived we couldn't turn on the TV; the next night we couldn't turn it off. We had a room for two but only one of us could sit down - it took two days before another chair was delivered. We were invited to save our towels but they were replaced anyway - but not precisely. We finished up with 4 hand towels and I bath towel. It's also a shame that you need to endure the traffic jams approaching the Tunnel before arriving at the hotel.
