House keeper barged into the Room!

Pushpa Couples - 21/12/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff is very friendly and really good caring staff, who will go a extra mile for you. The only thing that we didn’t appreciate was the house keeper banging on our door at 10.45am while we was in bed, and then opens the door and barges in! It has happened on 2 different occasions and I don’t understand why as the checkout time is 12 noon! So Eager to get the room cleaned when we still have over an hour to check out… So Embarrassing for us

Rarely disappointed when staying in a Mercure Hotel, and this stay was no exception.

Quality Staff

andrewupton2021 Business - 22/11/2021 TripAdvisor review

The welcome & helpfulness of the hotel staff is excellent. Special mentions must be to Simone & Mellina who are always smiling & not just 'corporate'. The breakfast is always ready & available for 0600hrs (this is a major bonus being that other hotels state 0630hrs) & nothing is too much trouble.

Dear andrewupton2021, Thank you so much for the great review. Hope to see you again soon.

FELT PERFECTLY SAFE

djk3816 10/09/2021 TripAdvisor review

Nice hotel. Corridors will need a spruce up soon but room and general areas all acceptable. Staff all friendly and efficient. Riverfront position and closeness of park and town excellent. Importantly during these Covid times we felt safe
