I had a somewhat mixed experience at the Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel. The staff were welcoming and the grounds were lovely, perfect for relaxation. However, the dining options were hit or miss, with the breakfast feeling overpriced and dinner quality lacking consistency. Overall, it served its purpose, but there are areas needing improvement.
Rooms

I found my room comfortable but small, with some outdated features. The cleanliness was solid, and I liked having spare pillows in the wardrobe, which is a nice touch. However, the heat in the room made it quite uncomfortable at times.
Service

The staff were friendly and seemed happy to assist whenever I needed help. However, there were some moments where it felt like communication could have been better, particularly regarding dining options and issues like the faulty fire alarm.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located near the M20, which was great for getting around. However, with not much nearby, dining options felt limited, and I would often suggest venturing into surrounding villages for better choices.
Dining

Breakfast had a decent selection, but it felt overpriced given that most items were just warm. My dinner experience varied significantly; one night the pie was solid, but the next the burger left much to be desired. It's clear the kitchen needs to maintain better consistency.

I enjoyed the gym and the spa facilities, although some amenities were out of order during my visit. The swimming pool was a nice place to unwind, and I appreciated the overall cleanliness, but the potential for improvement in the spa's upkeep is evident.

I recently stayed at Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel and had a mix of experiences. The quality of the food, particularly during breakfast and our dinner, was good and the atmosphere in the restaurant was good. However, the overall state of the room left much to be desired, with issues such as outdated decor and noise disturbance that affected my sleep. While there were some nice aspects, such as friendly staff and charming grounds, several discomforts made it hard to fully enjoy my stay.

My stay had its highs and lows. The staff, especially Michael and Steve, were super friendly and went out of their way to help whenever I had a concern. The food was delicious, with great options for breakfast and dinner. However, the facilities left something to be desired, particularly the dated spa area and some cleanliness issues in the changing rooms, which could definitely use some attention.
