Overall good experience, but bit disappointed by the small choice on the room service menu, was essentially just a burger and chips....

Room service was so bad its took them about 2 hours to bring up some towels also only a few choices you can pick for food and the prices of things are really expensive. When we had alook around we round that our 1 bed-room suite wasnt cleaned the floor,i think they should have a better choice of food even when we rang for room service and and asked for two cooked breakfast they told me no sorry its lunch time so we only have sandwiches or chicken cuzzy,if you go to a hotel you should be able to get what ever food you want and also if you dont eat early in the morning and want a breakfast in the afternoon then they should do so also couls obly use the gym for free not aloud to ues the pool you have to pay for it and also when your spending alot of money it should be in the price.

Dear Emily,I'm sorry to hear about the multiple issues you encountered during your stay. It's disappointing to learn that your experience with room service was not up to par, and that there were delays in receiving towels. Additionally, the lack of cleanliness in your suite and the limited food choices available, especially during non-standard meal times, are certainly not reflective of the level of service we strive to provide.Your feedback regarding the pricing of amenities such as the pool access and the overall expensive prices of items is also noted. We understand your frustration and will take your comments into consideration as we strive to improve our offerings and services.We apologize for falling short of your expectations and for any inconvenience caused. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to address these issues internally to ensure they are not repeated in the future.If there's anything specific we can do to address your concerns or if you would like to discuss your experience further, please don't hesitate to reach out to our management team directly.Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much-improved experience.Kind regardsSylwia UmeloDeputy General Manager

Would very much recommend this hotel. Handy for Bluewater- bus goes to Bluewater every 12 minutes from a 10 minute walk down the road. Our rooms had lovely views over the Dartford Bridge. Upon arrival we unfortunately didn’t receive a warm welcome, it was late in the evening but the check in experience felt too rushed and we weren’t told the checkout time or anything about the leisure facilities- we were only told the times for breakfast and where our rooms would be. This was a shame and did not meet our expectations of a Hilton. However all the other staff and checkout was superb so I’d imagine it was just one member of staff rather th

I was looking for a hotel with a swimming pool and I hoped it would be fun, but unfortunately the pool was dirty, the water was weightless. It was really unpleasant to be there, but the child really wanted to, so we only spent an hour in the pool.

Very good hotel ideally located near M25 / Dartford Tunnel which suited my work schedule. Clean room, comfy bed, good shower. Beer and fish and chips in the bar also good. Have stayed in several Double Tree by Hotels. Usually pretty good. Wife used gym / pool while I was on business. Basic but adequate.

Great New Year get away
Fantastic stay, pool and gym were a highlight . The kids had so much fun. Location is lovely as very close to blue waters, and a short distance from a beautiful Lake. We also met the breakfast staff Mara who spiced up our final experience just before check out. She chatted to us and looked after us. That made a lot of difference for us. Even though the coffee Machine wasn’t working, we could see the efforts from the breakfast Manager and all the staff to make alternatives. Overall a great experience. Will definitely return.

Money’s worth.
Stayed here a few times apart from my initial stayed when they messed up my bookings and doubled charged me when I was leaving and another time I was sent to a room that was already occupied. It’s the most convenient hotel that provides are the things I need to unwind and have a relaxing break. I wasn’t aware of the spa until recently and I went ahead and booked a full body massage that’s was so good. I didn’t even want to have a shower afterwards my whole body felt so good. So defo will be going there as long I can these a massage and the use of the leisure facility.

Anniversary stay
The hotel itself was very busy and very noisy! Lots of loud music and doors banging all the time! The bed was very small and very hard and uncomfortable. The room itself was nice so shame about the bed! We also asked for help for a taxi and waited 30mins for the taxi to not turn up and the hotel weren’t very helpful with this. Breakfast was £30 for two of us and I thought that was quite a lot but when we had the breakfast, it was lovely and so worth the money, they really accommodated my dietary requirements so def recommend the breakfast as it was very tasty! Just a shame about the rest.

Charged me twice for parking !!
decent overall but wasn’t happy with being charged twice for parking, a guy charged me on arrival and on leaving the lady on day shift charged me again for parking. I only realised the day after because she didn’t say she was going to charge me for parking and if she did then I would of told her I’ve already paid, she just charged me on her own accord but without checking her system, it’s not about the money but if your paying for a service then should receive that.

Really nice hotel, newly refurbished. The only negatives were the bed wasn’t the most comfortable, good mattress but the double is small and the pillows were not great. They didn’t refill bathroom toiletries at all through the stay, which I would suggest they do. Having to pay for parking is really not great, as an hotel guest, you expect parking included. Other than that, I recommend, and will return.

Average, below brand expectations
Decidedly average. Monosyllabic reception staff who did the bare minimum to check us in and help with a later issue we had with our room. Breakfast ok but for the brand and room rate I’d expect fresh rather than frozen and tinned fruit. Health club small, tired and felt rather grubby. Not worth the room rate.
