Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

8/10 Good
"The only thing that spoilt the stay was the outrageous parking charge. I don't know what you are paying for as there is no security cameras, no security barrier and no one patrolling the car park. Anyone can walk in off the street into the carpark so what are you paying for???? Might as well park in the road."
