The have free wifi and a super fast connection which there is an extra charge. They have a standard buffet breakfast for £8.99. The breakfast was okay, it's not five star dining but it definitely fills the gap. The staff are just so lovely. They accommodated all of our requests made us feel comfortable whilst traveling with many children. Because it was the new year, we were treated to complimentary bottle of Prosecco and the children got treats and books. April is the manager at this location and she was brilliant. She was very warm and kind. To be honest, she made our stay feel as close to home as it could. I'm very appreciative of April and her staff's hard work! Excellent!

Located next to High Street we were able to walk to all the restaurants, bars and pubs. Which is always a plus!!! When booking online there are options to add a breakfast but I choose not to. We did try the breakfast twice during our stay and it was ok. There were the traditional British breakfast choices. Bacon, Sausage, Eggs, baked Beans, toast, mushrooms and tomato (which I'm a huge fan of). There was also yogurt, cereal and fruit which was a good addition. From all the breakfast choices, unlimited juices (orange, cranberry, grapefruit and apple) I was most excited about the automatic self serve coffee maker! This coffee maker was impressive and made espressos, americanos, cappuccinos, white coffees and lattes in one touch! This American definitely was not searching around town for a Starbucks because of this machine!

Randomness defined!…read more The usual sterile pricy experience of a holiday inn without complimentary internet, but with added randomness... A large rum and cola can come as; 2x25ml, 1x35ml, 2x35ml, the cola can be charged as one dash or two, ice ran out at 1900 on a wednesday (and apparently not enough staff to buy a topup from the superstore down the road) Steak on one night superbly cooked and tasty, but presented poorly with tolerable sides. On the other night the steak was poorly cooked but presented very well with tasty sides. Room was a twin when I expected a double, towels scratchy and overdue for replacement, shower hot and powerful enough but leaked water badly out the head. The friendly staff who were willing to try hard to please, even though somewhat undertrained, managed to wrestled this back to a three star rating. Your experience(s) may vary!

My husband and I had our Wedding Reception here in January of last year and were happy with the…read moreservice we got. Having married in St Lucia we were looking for somewhere reasonably cheap to have a reception for friends and family when we got back, this place was convenient and we got a good deal. When viewing the property the staff were really helpful in helping us choose the correct room for us - they have 4 conference rooms of different sizes: Small room can fill to capacity of 70 Medium to capacity of 100 Large to capacity of 150. Extra Large room to capacity of 250 All if the rooms have a bar located in them and they also provided us with a DJ - prices range from (if I remember correctly) £150 - £275. The DJ we had was excellent and so friendly. He really was all about us having a good night. We decided to go for our own catering which this is one of the very few hotels allow you to do and we were given entry to the room 45 minutes before are booking started in order to get the food set out. On top of this we also went for the Spa Bridal suite for the night which was £140. Although we were only in the room for about 9 and a half hours it was nice to be able to stumble back to the room once our guests had left and have a nice soak. Breakfast brought to our room was also included but wasn't too impressed with it to be honest - cooked sausage, egg, beans and toast with cornflakes and tea. Tasted a lot like the cheap Tesco Value stuff but it was ok. All rooms have the usual tea and coffee making facilities, colour satellite TV, hair dryer and broadband for a charge. A bar is also located in reception. Overall a fairly decent and friendly hotel for the purpose we wanted but don't think it will be a place for us to stay at otherwise though. 3 stars for the hotel 4 stars for the service we got

We were both really disappointed with our day, so we were only there for about an hour before making the 45 minute journey home! Admittedly we did get a voucher from Living Social so we shouldn't have expected much! All we got was a swimming pool that was pretty cold, a steam room and a sauna. I wouldn't class this as a spa! We tried to book treatments a week before to be told it was fully booked, and when we got there all treatment rooms were empty, and the staff were just wandering. The best bit of the day was the plate of pastries we got with our voucher, although we didn't get them with our drinks, and had to chase for them! The bar where we had our lunch was filled with wedding guests, and children darting around and rolling around the floor. Not somewhere I'd be returning!

The hotel is small with just 26 rooms but the rooms are a very decent size and nicely laid out with TV, Computer desk, Vanity mirror, Hairdryer and spacious Bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fact that they had two different kinds of pillow - one slightly softer than the other. One thing I wasn't so keen on was who on earth thought of putting the toilet tissue on the wall opposite the toilet??! It was a long stretch to try and reach it even for someone of normal height. This is also one of those places where you don't get complimentary Shampoo ect but you can buy it from reception and there is a dispenser in the shower filled with Imperial Leather Shower Gel. The Manor Farm Beefeater located next door (review for that here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/manor-farm-beefeater-restaurant-and-pub-gillingham#hrid:2-x6vFkzET97Anqdp-vdgQ/src:self) is part of the same company where Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is served but are not included in the room price.
