Check in was clunky and we were eventually given courtyard rooms which are not my favourite. I was not recognised as a returning customer even though I have stayed there many time before. Took 20 minutes to get a coffee with only one person serving.

Dear Keith, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. I am sorry to hear that your check-in experience was not as smooth as it should have been and that you were allocated a courtyard room, which was not your preferred choice. As a returning guest, you should feel recognised and valued, and I apologise that we did not make you feel this way on this occasion. I am also sorry to hear that you waited around 20 minutes for your coffee. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we will share your comments with our team to review staffing and service during busy periods. Your feedback is important to us, as we want every visit to reflect the warm welcome and attentive service our returning guests deserve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much smoother and more enjoyable experience. Kind regards, Priya Thakur Front Office Manager Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa

Lynn D. Friends - 10/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff where friendly and helpful . The food in resturant was very good but we waited 45mins for the food to arrive, this was put down to having to serve a charity dinner for a large number of people. This should have been better planned. The room we were given was very poor. It was very dark and the small window was covered over. The bed was small and the bathroom door didn't close properly. I have stayed many times at this hotel and this is the worst room I have stayed and falls way below the standard expected. This room should be offered at a reduced rate or taken out of the system.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly and helpful, and that you enjoyed your meal in the restaurant. We are, however, very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. We sincerely apologise for the delay with your meal. While the charity dinner created additional pressure on the restaurant team, we appreciate that this should have been better planned and communicated to ensure all guests received the level of service expected. We are particularly disappointed to hear about the condition and standard of your room, especially as you have stayed with us many times previously. Your comments regarding the lighting, window, bed size and bathroom door have been shared with our management and maintenance teams for review. We fully understand your disappointment, and we agree that the room should meet the standards our guests expect from us. We truly value your continued loyalty and hope that this experience will not deter you from staying with us again. We would welcome the opportunity to provide you with the standard of stay you have come to expect from our hotel. Warm regards, Priya Thakur Front Office Manager
