Disappointed in Mercure’s failure to maintain and invest
Pros:

Location
Staff friendly

Cons:

Tatty, shabby
Old dishes and glasses from room service left in hall for two days
Corridors dirty
Paint chipped
Mercure fails to invest in upkeep and maintenance/ it could at least have painted the front door which once would have been handsome

Disappointing
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Staff - questioned incorrectly about our bill. Showed staff our credit card statement but had to wait whilst all paper accounts from all rooms were pulled out and gone through to find ours. Mistake still not initially realised and when pointed out a very brief apology made. Very embarrassing for us as customers
