Lois,
You could try starting at the following site for Dover .. <a href="http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/dover.html" target="_blank">http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/dover.html</A> which should give you an idea on prices and locations. I believe that the Ramada is close to the Ferry port. You could also check out <a href="http://www.doverweb.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.doverweb.co.uk</A> for more info on the area.
