Nice room and good location

Martin Business - 28/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel is just off the M40 so very convenient. Room was good but electric heater suggests the AC system is not running. Breakfast box was definitely average. No reception in the morning at 9.15 so had to leave key in room. Evening meal was nice being outside for first time in ages.

Dear MARTIN T., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel. It is always a pleasure to receive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Mark Tulett General Manager

Never again

Jim C. Business - 11/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Reception not open on arrival around 1700hrs. Had to wait for someone to open the building. No food at all available even though I paid for breakfast. Room cold with only an oil fired radiator that seemed to give off a little heat.

Dear JAMES c., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At The Lambert Hotel , we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. I will be investigating this further as we have through out the lockdown offered a grab and go continental box for our key workers who require it and we have continued to operate with in the government guidelines. I apologise for the poor heating in the room you experienced and again due to Covid19 advice from the government the main internal heating system has been switched off to prevent droplets of air being circulated through the system. 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, Mark Tulett General Manager

Under normal circumstances I am sure that the many facilities on offer would have proved excellent.

Anonymous Business - 23/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

In general satisfactory. I booked a room on the courtyard with a request to be on the upper floor. I first got a room that faced the outside and the parking lot. This was not what I call courtyard. Room was changed to one with a field view, yet still on the ground floor. Acceptable. Enjoyed weekend breakfast. Breakfast during the week was to sugary. I understand C-19 restrictions.

I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. We had upgraded you due to your Accor status as directed by the points plan and membership status. As noted we moved you to another room at your request on advising you that the A/C system that controls the heating had been turned off as per Covid19 advice. This is why all rooms are currently used on the ground floor. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Mark Tulett General Manager

Very clean, safe and friendly.

Michele Families - 12/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had a bit of an issue with hot water in the room but it was sorted out quite quickly. Everyone we came across was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and spacious with plenty of tea and coffee available. It was a shame we couldn’t sit in the bar just to drink because of restrictions but the little platter menu that was available was a good idea. Unfortunately, but understandably at the moment, a sit down breakfast is only available at weekends although we understood that is going to change in the new year. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Poor service

959mail 03/11/2020 TripAdvisor review

Check in was not really friendly. No upgrade possibilities. No welcome drinks. Paid for breakfast but received a bag with poor content, given to us the evening before. Even the IBIS Southampton managed to serve fresh pastries and Porridhe during Covid - this Mercure didn't.

I am sorry your experience was not a good one and I do apologise for this. We are working under restricted conditions currently and we have reviewed the breakfast offering and we are looking at ways to introduce a plated cooked breakfast from January 2021.

Great hotel stay.

Very well organised for the COVID situation. Disappointing that the ‘system’ wouldn’t allow me to charge dinner to my account thus “doing me out” of Accor points. Dinner and breakfast very good and pleasant friendly service.
