The pool is fantastic but the kids wrecked it for us.
Pros:

Nice room.

Cons:

Kids that should not be there got in and were really bad in the pool for over an hour and no one came to get rid of them in that time. Also the Mercure pool and grounds was not operational and we did not know that.

Don't go if you expect a hot shower before your flight early in the morning.
Pros:

Close to the airport. Most of the staff are friendly, expect when you make a complaint. Been before and the main pool is really nice.

Cons:

Lighting to room was really bad, when there was construction work everywhere. It was really dangerous to find room. No hot water for shower. It was extremely poor for the amount spent of the room not to have a shower. Lack of onsite parking and having to walk all the way at 4 in the morning. When mentioned no hot water kind of" oh ok I'll tell the maintenance staff.' A 'Sorry to hear that' would have been nice.
