Staff were very good brought breakfast to our room and were all very helpful. Some misgivings about the food, which my vegetarian partner found indigestible. No problems for meat-eater me - I enjoyed the Romney Marsh lamb - but on the last evening stilton & broccoli soup (all we wanted after a big lunch in Brookland) was strangely spoilt by too much pepper. Beer selection limited to lager types - they should get in some bottled local ales. The toilet in Room 13 was smelly but, to be fair, our relatives did not report this, so the staff had no chance to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, the hot water was far too hot for hand washing! Scalding. A spare toilet roll would be useful - luckily I took my own as standby - none left on our last morning!. Double bed was on the small side & room decoration was a bit tired. Our room overlooked the car park which meant keeping curtains drawn at all times. All nice!. No decent lounge area to sit and relax in. nothing really. room overlooked busy road,windows of a poor state, road noise on and off all night.also walls thin as paper, family in next room, no problem with that until baby woke up v, v, early and we could hear all family talking shouting etc from 6am onwards, soundproofing needs to be addressed.a.s.a.p. There was nothing I did not like. There was nothing we could high light. Nothing negative at all. Our room was very hot, despite a rainy mild week. The rooms were not particularly soundproofed and noise from other guests/traffic outside was noticeable. Im not sure id feel comfortable bringing young children for fear of disturbing other guests. The only minor fault I can find is that the pillows were a bit lumpy. Noisy seagulls but we were on the river and close to the sea. The only drawback was that we booked quite late, and there was only a twin room available rather than a double. Nothing comes to mind. NOTHING.......apart from the fact I had to go on a diet when I got home. Newly re surfaced car park which had gravel which trod into the hotel. I'm sure the owners were as fed up with it as we were. We couldn't think of anything worth complaining about ;-). We were very satisfied with our stay. Only a small thing, the shower head wasn't movable and as I'm quite short could have done with a hand held one. Had to come home. Bar staff need more training not very professional. There was noise from the road due to the wooden windows.Floorboards were creakey and walls were thin as tv noise was noticeable.The room was in need of some work as door needed painting and hinges rusty,sink tap was loose also. Early morning seagulls, but probably not the hotels fault!. Hotel bar a bit sparse. Hotel dining room was very drab, wooden floors, wooden table and chairs, wooden bar, (tucked away in a corner) lacked atmosphere, even table cloth's and a small vase of flowers would have given the room a more hospitable look. It would be nice to have the same breakfast choice on the weekends instead of the limited buffet. Restaurant closes a bit early. No real ale. Menu could be more extensive. Nothing. Our room was a bit loud at night due to proximity to the main road. Lack of space to hang clothes. Poor extract in en-suite. Variable quality of evening meal. Limited buffet breakfast. 'Utilitarian' restaurant/canteen!. nothing to dislike. The bar aera could be more inviting . Whistle stop for 1 overnight stay - did not notice anything. I paid for a superior double and it just seemed standard to me, I thought we were going to have an outside area with our room as that is what the photo looked like when I booked the superior double!.
