Can't believe that this is listed as a 3-star hotel
I really wanted to like the Channel Inn. I was hoping for "old world charm" given the pictures and reviews online. If the Channel Inn is a 3-star establishment, then youth hostels are 2-stars and homeless shelters are 1-star. The establishment is old, worn, thinly staffed and has very few amenities -- though staff are friendly. Of particular note (and warning) the sheets and duvet were paper thin. I had to sleep with the heat blasting all night to keep warm. And my pillow was so hard and thin that I imagined that the staff had simply stuffed slices of stale white bread into a pillowcase. Also of warning: breakfast in the cafeteria-like Coffee Shop is almost inedible (some of the food looked as old the Inn itself) and there looks to be some sort of scary, toxic liquid dripping from the ceiling all over the parking garage. I was embarrassed to tell colleagues that I was staying here.
