“Westward Ho Hotel presents a mixed bag, and location is its undeniable high point, so close to the coast in Folkestone. I'm swayed by reports of spacious, well-kept rooms, though some experiences seem to fall short of that mark. It seems like a gamble, but perhaps one worth taking for budget travellers prioritizing sea views.”
