Black Horse, Dartford

Advantages: Convenient for Dover Ferries.Easy to find. Good Parking
Disadvantages: Damage to room.No toiletries in room.Poor facilities

...Travelodge Dartford was conveniently situated for access to the Dover Ferry Terminal, easy to find and had good parking facilities.

There is a large amount of parking, and the hotel is easily found being... Read review

Advantages: Relieve congested terminii
Disadvantages: Havoc for tiemetable planners
