The Spotlight on Days Inn Maidstone

Affordable Comfort Just Off the M20

Modern and practical, Days Inn Maidstone is a budget-friendly roadside hotel just off the M20 at Junction 8, making it a convenient base for concert-goers heading into Maidstone or beyond. Located just 3 miles from the town center and close to Hollingbourne Station, it’s a solid choice for those wanting easy access to gigs without breaking the bank.

The hotel offers free parking, free Wi-Fi, and essential comforts like en-suite bathrooms, tea and coffee-making facilities, and 24-hour reception—all wrapped in a no-frills, reliable package.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key here—just off the M20 and a short drive or taxi ride from Maidstone’s venues. If you're catching a late-night show, the 24-hour reception and easy road access mean no stress getting back. While not walkable to most venues, the nearby train station connects you to London, Ashford, and Canterbury, giving you flexibility for bigger gigs. It’s also ideal for those who want a quieter night’s sleep away from the town bustle.

  • Guests appreciate the value for money and easy motorway access

C S, Sidmouth, visiting Leeds Castle Maidstone

We were delighted with our stay at Maidstone Days Inn; very quiet; we had an excellent night's sleep and the standard of the room with the extras could not be faulted. Staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Will not hesitate to stay at a Days Inn again.

Liked: Pleasantly surprised at standard of the hotel.

Ok, but could be improved.

Liked: The room was spacious and neat.
Disliked: The hot water took ages to come on (up to 10 minutes). The tub was very slippery and my husband fell. Why can't you provide bath mats as standard?

Adequate for a base

Liked: Looked ok outside, although bins overflowing
Disliked: Needs TLC. Room clean but window area peeling and cracked plaster and paintwork. Plug hole in bath full of water all the time. No staff until check in time, needs someone on reception from at least 9am onwards

This was absolutely suitable for...

Liked: We were met by a very polite staff member who made sure that our rooms were close to each other. The rooms and the bed were comfortable and clean and we slept very well! The towels were nice and clean.
Disliked: There was no hot water in the double room and they were moved further away from the single room. The shower heads need a little cleaning as there is dirt where the water comes in - the basin tap in the single room was leaking.
