Very nice stay! Breakfast was good. The lobby/bar area was really cool! Room was comfortable and the towels were a great student, 2 problems the extraction fan was not working and the towel warming rack was not working. Close the train station. Parking was plentiful. Located right next to the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Glitter Twins Statue, fun fact Dartford is the childhood home for both of them!

The building is or should be a Listed Building, so much character. Ok no lifts rickety old floors and stairs, but that just adds to the experience. Really friendly staff, room ckean and well presented, cleaned and restocked every day of my stay, a rare thing in modern hotels. Good breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay.
