Hi all,

Just a quick query wondered if anyone could help with. we have booked an etap hotel in coquelles for wednesday night - leaving straight after work then heading down to the Tunnel - probably arriving france around midnight. We have not used this chain of hotels before and just wanted to double check how easy it is to get into the hotel outside of reception hours?  We are assuming it is an automated reception with credit card but can't find any info on their website - has anyone used them before?

I could phone but whilst my french may be good enough to ask the question I'm not confident of understanding the answer on the phone!!

Any advice gratefully received!!

I have not stayed in that Etap but have stayed in the one in Abbeville and we used the same credit card we made the booking with. The machine prints out a slip of paper with a code which opens the car park gate, the front door and your room. The machine was in a small foyer at the front of the hotel and there is a gate for foot passengers.
