Rooms situated near bins! Loud noises till midnight the again at 7:30am

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

leahwilkinson1999 TripAdvisor review

Hotel was lovley from what we seen, we went as a part of 6 (3 couples) and was situated in rooms 62/63/64. There was a wedding within the hotel so as expected this was noisy with music which I can accept to a degree however we was next to where the bins are filled and upto midnight on a number of occasions there was loud noises filling the bottle bins meaning we did not get to sleep till early hours of the morning. And then again 7:30am the bins was being filled/ emptied and hear smashing of bottles. We didn’t even stay for breakfast as just wanted to get home for some sleep. Informed the man at reception who apologised and said next time he will write a note to me in a more ‘quiet area’ however not sure will return after this experience.

Christmas Party Boogie Bingo experience

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

Lisa B TripAdvisor review

I went to the Boogie Bingo Christmas party night with friends. Let’s start with the positive. We booked a room for three people, bed and breakfast for £40 per person, which we all thought was good value for money. Room was spacious, lovely and clean. The customer service at reception/in the bar was really good too. As a party we felt like there was one or two things that would make our night/stay at Dunkenhalgh go from a 3 star to a 5 star. We paid £50 a head for the Boogie Bingo, this included a two course meal and entertainment. Other places we have been to included a three course meal for the same price. Our meal came, it was tiny and barely warm. Two of our group have gluten intolerance, one with a really severe gluten allergy. There was nothing highlighted on our table to show this to the waiter/waitresses. Our meals were just placed down on our table, leaving us with no idea if our meals were gluten free! Not one single member of staff understood the seriousness of someone with a food allergy! The Boogie Bingo was good but went on too long. On a more positive note the drinks weren’t badly priced. The next morning we went down for breakfast, after informing a member of staff of our gluten allergies, she sat us down at the table and told us to just help ourselves! To say we were gobsmacked was an understatement. We complained and the lady handed us an allergen booklet. No explanation on how the food had been prepared. The booklet told us there was gluten free bread so we had to ask for that. A simple explanation from the member of staff would have been helpful! I highly recommend extra training for all staff on food allergies. After breakfast we decided to use the spa. To which we were greeted with you have to pay £30 to use the Spa once you have checked out! This was never explained to us. The lady in the Spa would not let us in. Thankfully reception in the main hotel gave us a card allowing us entry. The Spa changing rooms are run down and in need of a face lift. The Spa itself we really enjoyed. Despite one or two faults, this would not deter us from staying at the hotel and we would ring ahead before arriving for food and make sure our gluten allergy is highlighted to the staff.

Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience regarding the recent Boogie Bingo Christmas party at Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa. We appreciate your positive remarks about the value of your room, its cleanliness, and the customer service you received from our staff. We understand your concerns regarding the meal portions and temperature, as well as the handling of gluten allergies. Your feedback is valuable, and we recognize the importance of clear communication concerning food allergies. We will certainly reflect on your suggestion for additional training for our staff to enhance their understanding and responsiveness. We apologize for any confusion regarding spa access after check-out and are pleased to hear that our reception team was able to assist you. Your comments about the spa facilities have been noted, and we appreciate your candid assessment. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better experience. Best regards, Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa

Hotel was lovely, room was spacious and clean, slightly too warm as we were above the spa. Tina at breakfast was fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. Nice to see a smiley face so early in the morning! Lenny was also lovely, she was very chatty and genuinely cared. Overall would recommend this hotel, staff have been fantastic.

Kevin K. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely setting but disappointed in our upgraded "executive" room. The path from the rear car park to reception has so many uneven and loose slabs, I feel it was indicative of the desperate need for a real update of standards. Although the room appeared clean, a closer look revealed further need of funds. Disappointed overall.

Dear Kevin, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at our hotel. We appreciate your comments about the beautiful setting; however, we regret that the condition of the upgraded room and the path to reception did not meet your expectations. Your observations regarding maintenance are duly noted, and we strive to ensure our facilities are in top condition for all guests. We appreciate your insights and will consider them as we continue to enhance our offerings. Goodbye, Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa
