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.

  • Costa Coffee for caffeine fixes before or after your gig
  • English and continental breakfasts, including a kids’ option
  • Convenience of on-site dining without leaving the service area

Nightlife Options

  • While there’s no on-site bar, Maidstone’s pubs and lounges are a short taxi ride away
  • Perfect for those who want to enjoy the show, then retreat to a quiet space
  • Local venues are easy to reach via car or public transport

What People Say

  • Clean and comfortable for a short stay” is a common theme in reviews
  • Guests appreciate the value for money and easy motorway access
  • Staff are often noted as being friendly and helpful

Areas for Improvement

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.
