we stayed here for one night. the web showed it was fully booked, so I phoned up and checked availability and a helpful lady booked a room for me.
I was asked if I wanted to book breakfast and also reserve a table for dinner in the beefeater pub next door. Recommended as they get very busy at weekends especially if its a bank holiday.
The location is just off the M20 but it's right by a river off a main road, so a peaceful location. The premier inn has a beefeater right next door. There is a spacious beer garden, BBQ garden bar which served burgers outside etc and a row of of pub tables down along the river. the river is protected by a long fence so there is no danger for children. loads of boats were moored up and there is also a river boat that can take you into maidstone.
The welcome on arrival at the inn was as good as usual. our littleun got a drawstring goody bag which is something new they do.
The room smelt fresh as we entered. Clean and tidy.
My only gripe was that i could hear some noisy person above walking around which I have never experienced before. they kept pacing round the room, but i did eventually drift off. There was a humming noise as well coming from somewhere, but it didn't keep me awake. Breakfast in the morning was in the beefeater. not the best cooked breakfast I have had. Cereals, toast, tea, coffee juices were unlimited. views of the river though were good. service was prompt. Evening meal was ok, but i wish Beefeater expanded their menu a bit as there isn't a huge choice.
overall a nice stay. definately would go back there as the huge beer garden overlooking the river makes a great afternoon in the sun. There is a harvester just up the road if wanted something different. the pub is quite a size so it gets very busy, however we didn't hear any noise from our room which overlooked the carpark and pub. i think the windows are insulated. Warning, you can open these fully, so in the summer the rooms can get hot!!

The room was spacious, and furnished to a pretty high standard, given that it is a semi-budget chain. Reception staff were curteous and efficient. Everywhere clean.

Location is great - right by the river, and next to a great pub / restaurant. Also ideal for The Village hotel, if you want a cheaper alternative after a meal / event there.

Just like every other Travel Inn in the country I suppose, but I particularly liked the fact that the bedroom window could be opened; that the toiletries in the bathroom were in large refillable containers rather than tiny (un-environmentally sound) bottles; and breakfast was cooked to order. Nice spot by the river, and friendly receptionist and breakfast waitress.

Great little find after a long week's diet of noisy and worn out roadside motels. Although just off the motorway exit, you could be in the middle of the countryside as this motel occupies a prime site on the river bank. The rooms are functional yet well-equipped, in good condition and clean. There can be some noise from the pub car park but it wasn't enough to keep me awake. You can always ask for a room away from the car park side. For a budget hotel, it was a pleasure to be able to take a walk along the river, have a snack in the pub garden and wander back to my room. Admittedly, the pub is part of a chain and the food is lacklustre to say the least.
