Hotels Near Gravity Active Maidstone in Maidstone

In all honesty and respect to the Travelodge Team, I must say it was totally the opposite of what I expected which is entirely NO fault of theirs! Coming from Hiton at CDG Paris, Atrium in Heathrow there were absolutely NO comparison!! Travelodge, was used as last resort at the moment as the initial location booked did not appear safe in location, taking into consideration I was traveling on official business. The hotel is basic, they don't provide daily cleaning, nor room service, and if you need towels replaced you'd place the sign on the door before 11am. They offer buffet breakfast and selected dinner, really can't comment much on that.... What I did learn is that the hotel is commonly used for other types of accommodations.... To each his own, I wouldn't do a second time and wouldn't recommend to any of my counterparts. Nonetheless, for the duration of my stay I must highlight Terence, Lisa and Sarah who was always helpful in anyway they could and I can safely say those 3 made my stay a little better than my mind would😁So thank you guys, your personalities and professionalism are appreciated!

It’s a beautiful place, we were very lucky to be upgraded to the Judge Mellish room on the day, it was a large room with a beautiful 4 poster bed, all wonderfully decorated in the style of the time, bathroom was excellent with a fantastic shower, there was everything we needed in the room including a fan, we slept really well, there was a little noise from outside but they supply ear plugs but to be honest it wasn’t loud at all and didn’t need them. The only thing we didn’t personally like was the satin bedding, it looked stunning and luxurious on the bed but personally we prefer cotton. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who showed us to our room and had the room ready early for us on our request, would 100% recommend and would stay again.

There was no hot water on arrival, been given a room with disabled shower and with a door linking to another room . After complaining it was changed but the hustle was inconvenient. Wouldn’t book there again. Not what we expected

Been here twice to eat now and it didn’t disappoint. The standard of the cuisine is first class from presentation to quality ingredients and even down to a hot plate upon delivery - excellent ! I eat in some of the more recognised high end establishments in Central London and have to say that the food we had mirrored this standard and in fact, for me, beat it. To start, we had the fish platter to share which was outstanding and a must should you visit. Our mains were Calves Liver, (which was devine,) and my guests had Fish n Chips and Steak respectively - both of which they assured me was excellently cooked and of the same quality as the liver! We couldn’t fit a dessert in but I’m sure it would have been just as delicious if we could have. Pricing very reasonable for the quality of the dishes and service. We will be returning very soon.

Having not stayed here for many decades now I was hoping for better. It didn’t start well at reception when asking about the offer of papers in a “privilege” room I was told .. “yeah but you gottta pay for them”! An hour or so later I found the booking confirmation which clearly said papers included with a privilege room. A second visit to reception produced a comment along the lines of “I don’t know anything about that” accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders. Not a good start. I was also surprised that there was no hotel services book in room therefore no info on health club, meal times, operation of coffee machine etc. Even the very basic hotels usually have these. A question on this produced the same line of not knowing anything about it! The room wasn’t anywhere near the standard suggested and was extremely tired and not particularly clean with dusty areas all over. Windows were old fashioned aluminium which meant they needed to be closed due to the A20 nearby. This meant they were dripping with condensation in the morning! One of the bedside light switches was broken and was fixed after reporting, unlike the toilet roll holder that was also broken buy never got fixed! The duvet supplied was far too warm for summer and I have no idea why the bed was so massive but it was quite comfortable. The bathroom was adequate, no more. All in all, I think that Premier Inn rooms are much better and an awful lot cheaper! On the good side... The young guy in bar was very helpful on many things, perhaps he should have been on reception? The restaurant food was good in the evening, breakfast simply OK. I just wish those waiting on wouldn't keep calling everyone 'guys'. Because the bar/lounge and restaurant were essentially the same room, the television on at one end does nothing for the restaurant guests apart from annoy them! But the Health club and were pool fine!

Great find, very high quality rooms with good security etc The hotel serves great food and the inclusive breakfast is very good with wide choice. There is a large car park with electric charging points. The staff are very helpful and informative. The bar has a good range of beers and real ales etc
