I review the Dover Marina Hotel and Spa in Dover, Kent. A friendly, welcoming hotel currently undergoing major works to bring this listed building into the 21st century whilst continuing to keep the elegance of the architecture. It is a stone's throw from the beach, the port of Dover, and the iconic White Cliffs. As a wheelchair user, the hotel boasts lots of promising features. Whilst they do not currently have a disabled access room, the fact that management are willing to listen, learn and grow is great, and I can't wait to return when all the work is complete. I cannot name all the staff who went above and beyond for me during my stay as there are too many to name, but a special mention does go out to; Jacob in Churchill's Bar, Poppy in Mr White's Chophouse, Rimishan (reception manager), Pradeep (general manager), Shubabker (restaurant manager) Ruchit (reception) Ayan (reception).
