Disappointing welcome

Aimee Families - 24/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

You've walked past two track and trace signs and not scanned! Please do this immediately! - this was the welcome received at the brighton sea front hotel. Paper were shoved under our noses as the manager proceeded to outline all the rules. Without taking a breath my in laws (who are not tech savvy) were forced to download the app there and then. We were all completely shell shocked by the experience and still hadn't received the familiar pleasantries you expect when checking in to a hotel. Of course we all want to stay safe and make sure we follow the rules but the approach was completely unacceptable. The leisure and tourism industry has been hit hard by the pandemic and whilst I know things have to change, all efforts should be made to deliver an exceptional customer experience during these hard times.

Dear Aimee Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. The track and trace system is mandatory and the hotel can face huge fines for not following government legislations. It is of course in place for the secure safety of our team as well as our guests. We will of course address your comments to ensure this message is conveyed in a more empathic way. . Sincerely, Barry

Promising entrance, questionable thereafter

Lauren Friends - 24/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great first impression on the reception area and the check in set-up seemed to be smooth. The two staff members behind the desk came across as though they had every inch of life and personality sucked away from them and gave me the most bizarre look when I asked the contents of the vegetarian breakfast and an further unhelpful response ‘everything a full English has but no meat’. What does this even mean?!? We live amongst a food culture, and the arrival of cheese and spice on a ‘veggie’ breakfast plate is near to the norm now......I needed to check there was no classic halloumi substitute due to allergies but when asking this I again received a confused and vacant look. We went on to check into our room, good size, sea view as booked, clean and tidy. The decor of the room didn’t match what seemed promising downstairs, there was chipped black wood furniture and a coffee machine pushed in the corner but no items to use with it....that would have been too accommodating. Although there were 2 bottles of water but having 2 glasses alongside it would have been a stretch if hospitality too far.

Dear Lauren Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Barry

Very well located hotel on the seafront.

Geraint T. Couples - 23/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel was perfectly situated along the promenade and within easy walking distance of the attractions on the seafront and the shops and restaurants of the Lanes and City centre. The hotel room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel was well organised to deal with the safety requirements necessitated by the Covid pandemic. Great service and friendly staff.

This was a very pleasant stay. Staff were friendly and efficient, Covid restrictions were clear and sensible. Room was clean and comfortable. Location is great. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed but I tried something from the In-Room dining menu and it had was delicious (and delivered in cartons take-away style to my room door so as to maintain social distancing). All in all everything was great.

Mixed stay

Anonymous Couples - 20/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Some positives, some negatives. Positives - Decent upgraded room, nice bar area, good decor in main lobby, early check in was useful, friendly and helpful bar staff Negatives - Given room with only faulty radiator (confirmed by handyman), then heard someone in the bar charge drink to the same room that evening so had obviously been given the room with the faulty radiator. Car parking charges extortionate. Message about it being our wedding anniversary fell on deaf ears! Pretty uninspiring customer service, a bit more enthusiasm.

Dear Stuart Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We are very fortunate to have onsite parking, one of the very few hotels in Brighton to have this facility. Parking is priced competitively with other hotels in the city and is under constant review to ensure our rates are always in line with, or lower than local secure parking and we currently offer the cheapest parking of any seafront hotel We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.

Terrible. Worst room value i have ever witnessed.

The W. R. A. H. E. O. M. L. D. Families - 20/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Wo booked a privilege room and stayed in a joke. No coffee machine,no hair dryer ,disabled shower which was leaking and broken, no robes slippers or toiletries, room next to fire doors which slammed all night. Took lots of pictures to share on social media. Tried to complain. But was told it was a privilege room which is a joke. Didn't have it on the door because it isn't. Anyone can make a mistake but don't lie to your customer when you have let them down. Our 30th anniversary was totally ruined by this hotel and its staff lying to cover up they didn't have a privilege room which we booked and payed for

The hotel is 18 mins walk from Brighton centre so not well located. The stay was average.

J.m. W. Couples - 17/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I applied for the Autumn Break Deal and despite 3 emails I did not get proper confirmation of the booking. Consequently on arrival there was confusion about the meals outlined in the advertised deal. The manager had to sanction our allocation. The flush in our toilet (Room 303) was ineffective. The ceiling lights stayed on all night. Breakfast service was poor, one waiter ignored our presence and despite 3 requests for an order, it did not arrive. On departure, I was surprisingly refunded £2.50 because I had initially paid more than the present deal.
