We have had nothing but good experiences with the Holiday Inns in the UK. This one in Dover was great- fast check in, good breakfast, and clean rooms. It’s very close to the Cliffs of Dover and Dover Castle. Definitely would recommend!

Decent hotel

The check in process was slow and slightly chaotic but the staff were kind. We stayed there while we waited to board a cruise ship. There are no Ubers or hotel shuttle to the cruise terminal. The front desk called us a taxi and recommended that we schedule a taxi for the following day to get us to the cruise terminal. It was the BEST advice and if we did not take it would have been walking. There are no sidewalks and the streets are CRAZY. We did walk to a cute Chinese pub that was fantastic. There is also a McDonalds you can walk to. If you want to buy wine for your cruise, you can buy it at the gas station by Walmart. Hotel was fine. I would probably stay there again.
