Its been a while so here is my next update
I have just booked my pre cruise hotel in Dover
Premier Inn https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/kent/dover/dover-central-eastern-ferry-terminal.html
Double room - one double bed
Flex Rate £67
Add on meal package, evening meal and breakfast £23.99
Total £90.99
I have paid in advance, so I just have to show the confirmation email at check in
I booked direct with the hotel website. No issue with my Irish credit card and Irish billing address. You just need to change the country in the drop down menu when you are putting in the guest details. It will give you the option to use the guest address for the billing address.
This is the breakfast menu, its a buffet
https://www.premierinn.com/content/dam/global/restaurants/Global/Global Breakfast.pdfThis is the evening meal menu
https://www.premierinn.com/content/dam/global/restaurants/TAB/Main Menu.pdfI would describe the evening meal food as UK / Irish family friendly home style food. It would be hearty food , typical of family friendly pub food, mid price and good value but not very adventurous.
I originally had planned to book The Best Western but the Premier Inn price , including the food was the better deal. As I will be travelling from Ireland via London that day , I will need an evening meal anyway. Its better to pre pay for the hotel and food now, so that I dont have to add that money to my cruise budget.
