Stayed only 1 night. Wouldn’t again.. after a lovely dinner with great staff at the onsite restaurant we decided to take the stairs up to our room on the 3rd floor. There were bouncer type men asking where we were going and they demanded to see our room key before being allowed on the 3rd floor. When in our room the music was loud (but acceptable) but then the loud arguing and what sounded like physical fighting started. I locked the door and put our bags by the door and laid awake scared for hours. In the morning at check out I complained but no one contacted me. If you value your sleep and want to feel safe do not stay here. I’m pretty sure the police came but I was too scared to look out of the windows. Go anywhere else!

We had a so tough stay throughout the night due to the poor wall and noisy voice and sound. The guys came knocking the door speaking. My family felt scary and unsafe there. We'll never visit you.

Staff were very friendly, evening food ok, excellent breakfast with loads of choice. My room was very near to the swimming pool and was uncomfortably warm with a very strong smell of chlorine. Not very pleasant to breathe in all night.

Poor Service
Mercure Maidstone did not fulfill my booking so had to find an alternative at the last minute despite having a confirmation from Hotels.com, which when travelling with children was appalling. Hotel were unhelpful and blamed Hotels.com. Poor service and I can only assume the Mercure had overbooked.

Much to be done
Would have been a great stay, but the following ruined the experience: 1. No air-con: the room was very, very hot and couldn't sleep. The little fan was noisy and sadly couldn't cool down the room. 2. Please replace the old shower curtains and put shower screens instead. Unpleasant to shower with shower curtain clinging to my skin. 3. Room outdated- curtains torn and room require so much tlc. 3. Room and bathroom not very clean , brown stuff coming off the sink , dust on windowsill and bedside tables. 4. Cleaners need to check cupboards and wardrobes to ensure previous guests have not left anything as they was dirty unwanted stuff left by previous guests- not nice at all. Great parking and location though.

One Night Stay
The room itself was very hot as there is no air conditioning, as such we had to have the window open all night to cool the room down. The mattress was also very hard which meant that I did nt have a comfortable sleep. The key card failed twice and we had to return to reception to re-authorise the card to gain access to our room. The car parking was free to hotel users , which was a plus, The breakfast was ok but it was a buffet style which meant that the food was under heaters and some had started to become hard, especially the eggs. For a one night stay this was acceptable. The staff were welcoming and helpful.

No complaints about the comfort, customer service and the hotel itself. Only thing I would suggest is that there is some type of climate control in the rooms, a fan at least because it was super super hot in the room

First time, won’t be my last!
I rang ahead as I knew I’d be late to arrive. The lady on the phone was very bubbly, polite and most of all; helpful! When I got to the hotel, the nights team were cleaning the reception area but rushed to assist me through the doors. The gentleman behind reception was very knowledgeable about local traffic and the best routes to take for my onward journey and even gave me a complimentary breakfast voucher as I didn’t know if I’d booked breakfast or if it was included or not. Don’t get me wrong, the decor is dated in places BUT it is clean and the beds are very comfortable!

Disappointing 😞
Couldnt check in till bang on 3. Then noticed a piece of paper on the desk informing swimming pool closed but was told will definitely be open tomorrow, but again was shut! We only choose this hotel as we love the pool! Went for our evening meal, starters were poor, not much choice for main meals, then one dessert was meant to include strawberries and raspberries, but it had frozen strawberries, black currants and black berries it was very bitter. The whole service took 2 hour's even though restaurant wasnt that busy! So disappointed, we were regular visitors here but now will need to find alternative hotel
