Set in the English county of Kent on the English Channel, the port town of Dover is just 21 miles across the sea from France. As one of England's most important passenger and freight ferry terminals, many of its hotels are geared towards travelers who need somewhere to stay overnight before catching a ferry in the morning. Dover features a historic castle and one of England's most well-known landmarks, the White Cliffs.
Set in a modern building half a mile from the Eastern Ferry Terminal, the Premier Inn Dover is a 10 minute walk from downtown Dover and 15 minutes from Dover Castle. The on-site Table Table Restaurant serves an all-you-can-eat breakfast each morning, with cooked and continental options. The main menu includes traditional English dishes, like fish and chips and chicken and mushroom pie, plus a range of pasta dishes and burgers. Guestrooms come with wireless Internet access, private bathrooms, free toiletries and hair dryers. Children under 16 can stay with their parents for free and cots are available on request.
