The evening meal was very good and all the waiting staff were lovely. However the breakfast had everything that we wanted but all the hot food was warm and the beans and tomatoes were actually cold. I did tell a waitress and she replied “sorry about that “ and then walked away! Our overall experience was good and I had a wonderful swim although there was no spinner for my dripping swimsuit.

Only 2 Rooms ready a 3.30 pm. All 3 Rooms smelt awful, 1 smelt worse than the other 2. Hairdryer did not work in 1 room. For £100.00+ per room they were awful. Breakfast was ok but long queue at hot buffet going straight through the seating area.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel. I was very concerned to read your comments and particularly disappointing that we were not able to offer you any alternative accommodation on this occasion. There are a limited number of rooms available above one event room and these are usually allocated to guests attending events. Please accept my sincere apologies for this unfortunate matter. I have spoken with the reception manager and direct action has been taken We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Please let me know if you ever look to stay in the area in the next 6 months and I will be pleased to offer an upgraded room and a 50% discount on the 'rate of the day' Once again Martin, I am sorry your weekend was disrupted in this way. Yours sincerely,
