Maria R. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We have been regular visitors to the hotel for a long time but our last few stays have been sadly lacking. The rooms have had light bulbs not working, one lamp flashed all night dodgy wiring possibly. The room service food was cold, gloopy and tasteless.the reception staff night and morning didnt speak. No aircon working, In fact it was so bad we thought the hotel had changed hands.we gave them 3 visits to see if it would change. It didnt . We wont return.

Dear Maria, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for being a long-standing, loyal guest of the hotel. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your recent stays did not meet the standards you rightly expect from us. Your comments have been shared with our senior management and maintenance teams so these issues can be addressed as a matter of priority. We regret that, despite giving us multiple opportunities, we were unable to restore your confidence. Thank you again for your honesty and for your past loyalty, it is feedback like yours that helps us identify where improvement is urgently needed. Best wishes, Front Desk

Broken bed worst sleep ever!

Charlotte M TripAdvisor review

I have stayed in the Mecure Exeter numerous times and always had a pleasant experience but this time was just awful and will now not be returning! They gave us the family room as stayed with my partner and 1 year old booked in for 2 nights. Upon arriving to the room we realised the toilet flush was not working, this was bodged fixed by the manger and we were told to fix ourselves removing the cover and pull up the flush by hand! As this was a busy time of year they didn’t have any rooms for us to move to. Later that night we realised the bed was broken, the divan frame was snapped and the mattress was too big and hanging over the end of the divan. Mine and my partners backs are both absolutely killing and not the restful 2 night stay it was ment to be! I told reception in the morning about the bed which they immediately changed our room. This took up half our day moving rooms as we have a 1 year old and a lot of stuff also moving the travel cot ourself! As we only had 2 days there it was not ideal and ruined our Xmas getaway. Paige offered us 2 feee drinks and free parking which was a nice gesture. No guest should have been given that room 278! I cannot believe that they didn’t already know as at least the cleaners would have known changing the bedding as there was visible dips on the mattress. I would expect to be more reimbursed and a formal apology from a 4 star hotel.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us, especially as you have stayed at Mercure Exeter on several occasions previously. On this occasion, we fully acknowledge that your stay fell well below the standards expected of a four-star hotel. Please be assured that your feedback has been shared with the hotel management and housekeeping teams and immediate actions are being taken to address the maintenance and communication failures highlighted. We are committed to ensuring this situation is not repeated. Kind regards, Front Desk Mercure Exeter
