Two Night Break at Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel 1095840

We enjoyed a lovely weekend and would definitely go back.

Staff were polite, facilities were adequate and excellent way to relax for a quick break.

We recently stayed at the Great Danes Hotel in Maidstone for two nights. We had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed ourselves. Things that could have gone better: We waited over 45 minutes for our main course to arrive on our 2nd night. The restaurant was very busy but 85% of people chose the buffet option, except us, who chose to have soemthing from the main menu. We only had steak and curry so did not expect to wait this long. When we enquired when the meal was after 1/2 an hour, they said it was on it's way but 10 minutes later, we were still waiting. There was no explanation as to why it took so long to cook, so it spoilt our evening somewhat as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.

Doesn't look like the pictures on the hotel's website. Was not what we were expecting. Bit more 'motel' than 4 star spa hotel! Situated on a dual carriageway and not far from motorway. The room itself was small, basic and dated. The breakfast was good but nothing special. Pool, jacuzzi and steam room were nice and worth a visit.
