Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel

we didnt have dinner as our plans to do so changed. . We didnt actuallly justify the breakfast we paid for in advance with our booking as my husband had to go to A&E early in the mornng as a an emergency so I had a quick croissant a bowl of fruit and yogurt and a couple of coffees before our taxi arrived to take us there but my husband couldnt eat or drink anything but that was not the hotels fault but due to his condition at the time. What I had was very good and the other food on offer looked very nice. Our room had a lake view at no extra cost and had everything we needed. The grounds are amazing and vast.

My wife and I checked in at 11.00,not expecting our room to be ready, but because our Daughter was collecting us to take us out for lunch at the pub near where she lives. We were greeted by Steve on reception who offered to take our luggage and store it for us, but we decided as to leave it where it was, in the car. We then had a delicious coffee then our Daughter arrived. We returned at 20.15 and decided to have a small meal. We were a little confused over the "voucher" system so in my case ended up paying £20.00 for a £17.50 meal of Fish and Chips,{ as I did'nt want a starter or desert}, my fault. It was a very hot night so was grateful for the fan in the room, as a result of this and the comfy bed, had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was very busy as there had been three weddings on the Saturday, so my wife and I had pastries and coffee prior to leaving. Would we stay there again. Yes I think we would.

Beautiful Surroundings and you wouldn’t know you were near a motorway, has a good bar and restaurant, evening meal and breakfast are very good and the bar had some good beer. Leisure club is also free to use as a guest so we used the pool for a few hours. Staff were incredibly friendly and polite at all times.

The bed was huge and very comfy. Plus blackout curtains meant we had a great sleep. The room was really clean. The shower was good and there was also a small bath. The breakfast was tasty and had loads of choice . The staff were friendly and helpful. Pool facilities are a brilliant extra perk. Lots of free parking onsite too.

Breakfast excellent, menu limited.
