Lovely hotel late check in

Carla Couples - 5/22/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

I arrived at Mercure Manchester at 12pm on Saturday 14th May due to my best friend getting married. I booked a room in February with you guys and thought I would call in the Thursday before to see what time I could get into my room. I was then advised no room was booked and the helpful advisor booked me a room and honoured my discounted rate due to booking under the wedding. When I arrived on the day I was advised I couldn’t get in till 2pm which when explaining on the phone previously I need to get myself and daughter who was a bridesmaid ready. After the wedding ceremony had ended around 1:45-2pm I went to reception to then be advised it was still not ready. At 5pm after the speeches and food we then went to reception and was then given our room key. I paid £115 for this room which was more like a family room for me and my partner. Although it was clean we didn’t have long in the room as we attended the wedding it was a lot to pay for such a short time.

No running coke water in the room

R B. Families - 5/22/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was clean and the facilities were good, however no cold water in the bathroom and nothing in the mini bar fridge, not even bottles of water. I also received a call after checking out to advise I owed money for bar charges to the room, which I did not charge. I asked for an itemised breakdown, I was advised that I would get a call back but have not had a call. I assume this means it was a mistake but not call to apologise or confirm the error which is disappointing. Overall not a bad stay but probably wouldn’t recommend or stay again.

The spa i found to be dirty with repairs needing to be carried out . Checkout wasnt till 12 and the cleaner let herself in without notice whilst i was naked in the bathroom at 11.25 and due ti her lack of english didnt not understand i had the room till 12. I visit here often with friends and my partner and am coming with a friend on monday this was by far the worst visit. Lets hope mondays trip is a less eventful one.

wedding venue - good staff but DJ music to loud (deafing, hearing damaging) spoilt evening

A R. Couples - 5/20/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff welcoming and pleasant, had issue with one of the rooms so moved late in the evening, then had issues 2 nights running with key card access (2 hours wasted each night), overnight manager run of his feet. Breakfast first day was lukewarm, my wife did advise the Breakfast mgr of this when asked, who apologised and explained the issue keeping food warm, next day the food was hot. Attending sisters wedding, staff brilliant in trying to make the day special. But the DJ in the evening was pumping out the music at over 110 Db's which was deafening and my ears were ringing. Raised with Duty manager who advised that DJ was resident and play 4 nights a week and people were dancing, (I had already asked the DJ to turn down the music 4 times). Explained to duty mgr who got him to reduce the output slightly and that the 85 decibels is the safe level for music, otherwise your hearing is damaged after 10 minutes. unfortunately due to loud music we had numerous guest leaving early as it was too much including us, spoilt the evening as too loud to dance with the noise too loud. The loudness of the music requires attention as we had other guest raising the issue with Reception the next morning, having a disclaimer on your web page isn't good enough.

Lovely stay, great spa facilities

Sophie Couples - 5/19/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had a great stay here, we booked the spa package which was lovely. On the evening of our stay we were told we were unable to use the restaurant as there was two wedding receptions. Unfortunately we weren’t told this when we checked in or prior to our stay, as we would have preferred to have found another restaurant nearby. The hotel did serve food in the bar, and the meal and service was lovely. Overall we had a great stay and will be back again, we would have just liked to have been told earlier about the restaurant not being in use

Suitable business stopover

Anonymous Business - 5/19/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Completed training in the function room. Was well stocked. The rooms themselves were comfortable and kept clean. Staff supplied multiple snacks throughout the course to keep us energised, however on the last day decided to bring in a tray of snickers bars, after informing the staff at the beginning of the course, that I had a nut allergy. Apart from that, great stay. Would use again

Decent but issues

Paul W. Couples - 5/17/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Air Con worked this time but window still lets in too much noise from the road in privelage room 315. Complimentary fridge wasn't refilled. Had to request that at 7.30 in the evening. Chicken curry in the bar was insipid but fish & chips were nice. My wife tripped on the edge of a metal carpet strip that was sticking up whilst exiting through reception right in front of the receptionist who witnessed the incident. The hazard "A frame" had been moved from over it leaving the dangerous metal exposed. I took a picture & made a note and gave it to your receptionist but nobody has been in touch to see how my wife is!

May I please ask how is your wife feeling now. I confirm the metal strip is fixed and safe for all users to use the way.

I really did enjoy my stay at the Norton Grange. The staff were all great, very friendly and welcoming. The facilities were fantastic and the room was very clean. The Welcome card and complimentary cake in the room and the extra toiletries in the bathroom was a great addition. The little touches made all of the difference. I will definitely be staying again.

Emailed to; RD… Cc. h6… Currently no reply. Good afternoon, I am writing to you to formally complain about our unsatisfactory overnight stay with you and demand a refund. I checked in on Friday 13th May 2022 evening with my wife and 2 children after a long journey from Yorkshire. With a busy day planned for Saturday we were looking forward to a relaxing early night. Unfortunately, due the the wedding function you have had this weekend there were many children running around banging the floors above us and making a lot of noise beyond mignight, I tried to call reception to make you aware of the disturbance but the line kept transferring to an unspecified mobile number with no greeting and I was unable to make a complaint. On the Saturday evening 14th May 2022 the following night, we were woken around midnight to loud music coming from a room near to us, this carried on until 03.00am. During this time a very aggressive male in a room near to us was being extremely abusive towards a female guest using disgraceful language, I was genuinely concerned for her safety. With that level of noise and aggression I was close to calling the police. Again, I tried on numerous occasions to call reception to complain but the call went immediately to an unspecified mobile voicemail. We booked with the Norton Grange Spa Hotel as we expected a calm relaxing weekend away, however due to 2 unsatisfactory nights at your hotel with very little sleep we have just arrived home completely shattered and upset about our experience. Due to the above I would like a full refund for our stay with you. I have discussed this already with Gareth Lack (cc'd) who was eager to resolve this situation and gave us your business card and contact details, please liaise with him to discuss further. I hope to resolve this amicably without the need to escalate and take further action. Many thanks, I look forward to your response.

Al Friends - 5/15/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The facilities were great, room hotel and bath great, the food was awesome, really tasty. Just 2 things, when i did check in i have been asked what time i will arrive and I’ve ticked before noon, We have arrived around 11:30 have breakfast and being told we can check in only at 02:00. Not a problem but then why i have been asked what time we arrive and not being told check in can be done only at 02:00. We eventually manage to do check in, we didn’t had any bathrobe in our room , we went back to reception no bathrobe there, we’ve been sent off to the facilities reception were we got only towels, no slippers or bathrobes, we have been sent back to main reception. From reception we have been sent in our room and told to wait for 10 mins for bathrobe and slippers. Anyway overall a good experience due to nice facilities and great food, but this unnecessary stress to looking for bathrobe and slippers was not welcomed, also the check in time should be clarified not earlier that 02:00 so people don’t have to wait around.

Its average but spa is too good.

Prince786007977 3/15/2022 TripAdvisor review

Service was average.... Can have more staff at reception to accommodate guests properly without spending adequate time at reception. In terms of cleanliness, it was alright but found a long hair on beddings..... In terms of value it is worth it as you can visit so many places from there. In terms of sleep quality its a bit noisy if you are staying closed to city view rooms. But if you are staying opposite side its good enough.

Dear Guest Thank you for taking time to share your feedback further to your recent visit here with us at Mercure Norton Grange Hotel & Spa. Its always nice to receive constructive feedback, as it is only by receiving such information from guests, such as yourself, that we are better able to see where we stand in certain areas and what improvements we can make to further satisfy any requirements that you may have. I have noted the areas that we possible could do better with! Hope this one odd experience will not deter you returning back to us. We look forward to welcoming you back in near future. Best Regards, Rama Arimilly. General Manager
