The room was clean but smelt very strongly of bleach that seemed to be covering a damp smell, otherwise the room was exactly what we needed. The parking was good, the surrounding shops are easily accessible. The real star of this stay was the attached pub, great service, food and reasonably priced.

Nice room, friendly staff, easy parking. My only grip is that when i booked this room weeks ago, it was listed on this site as breakfast included. I have just had breakfast, which was very nice but, it wasn't included. Bit pissed off. Other than that, all good.

Overall good experience

Nice rooms, convenient location. Appeared to be quite busy during breakfast and possibly staff appeared very busy as a result. I think the current cooked breakfast option is not ideal. It would be a lot better if those items were available as a part of the self serve buffet.

Very clean and comfortable, close to huge shopping centre which could maybe be both a pro and a con but we made the most of it! Staff were kind and helpful and we had everything we needed. We wanted to be close to the beach in Broadstairs and the loop bus takes 40 minutes- wish I had researched this- it's a nice scenic route though and a much shorter journey to Margate, so we went and had dinner there one evening. It is also a shorter journey to Ramsgate and had we had more time we would have spent longer in all three places as they are all great. In a car it is a short journey from Broadstairs (8 minutes according to google maps) and the pub is in Broadstairs but also only a hundred yards or so from both Ramsgate and Margate, right on the border of the three. I'd recommend it.
