Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"We had no idea what to expect with the foot ferry to Calais and transportation etc. with luggage in tow, but it was a nice walk to the terminal, so location was great. We climbed the cliffs of Dover after sundown and it was wonderful. The hotel was comfortable and on the water with a great view of the English Channel ship traffic, and sunrise. A beautiful location, close to shops and historic sites."
