“A certain historic charm permeates this hotel, though it seems peace might be a luxury, with street noise a potential issue, especially late at night. The Skuba Bar could be a draw for some, though perhaps less so for those seeking quiet rest before an early Eurotunnel journey. I noted the staff's efforts to maintain cleanliness and provide a welcoming atmosphere are definitely a plus.”
