A good place to stay 50mins from Calais is Montreuil sur Mer. The other place I would consider is Ypres in Belgium. Easy run up the motorway via Lille but also doable on the back routes from Paris in a day, at least until the run in near the end. Ypres is very very interesting with every accommodation option. Easy run to Calais on motorway in the morning.
On the UK side if you want to stop within an hour or so the Hilton at Maidstone is convenient with good offers in advance, a pool etc and a good value food pub a few hundred yards up the road.

Village Hotel at Maidstone is cheaper than the Hilton, good food on site, plus other diners nearby. Swimming pool on site too. Used to stay there, but normally closer to Dover.
Ashford International is another one we stay at, plenty of places nearby, Sainsbury's, Nando's, etec etc
Or nearby the Ashford Holiday Inn, but Holiday Inn's aren't that cheap anywhere
Ramada Hotel at Whitfield near Dover is good, curry house & 2 pubs within walking distance, as is a 24hr Tesco
On the sea front at Dover is the Churchill Hotel or the Premier Inn, food at the Premier Inn is good, even if you're not a resident.
