Pros:

Nice and clean. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Definitely using Mercure from now on business trips.

Cons:

On Booking.com it states that it is 200 metres to/from the Arts Centre. I booked Mercure for easy access because of a knee problem - it is definitely more than 200 metres and this needs to be corrected on Booking.com's website. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our very shrort stay at Mercure.
