Places to stay in calais at 3 in the morning?

Question

we get off the ferry at 2.30 am and need somewhere cheap to crash for the remainder of that night. is it possible to just turn up at that time and stay?

i tried formula 1 hotels and they wont let us check in at that time.

any ideas anyone?

Answer 1

Sleep in the car. It is safe in the car park outside immigration control at Calais docks.

Answer 2

There's a hotel Ibis in Calais, we arrived there very late at night and there was no problem checking in, so perhaps you could give them a shout before you go and see if they can help you?
