Staff are great, rooms are lovely - there was a fan in the room but could do with air conditioning given the weather and heat we seem to be having nowadays. Otherwise, no complaints

The room was tired and Amenities were poor. Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. Reception welcome was far from a welcome. The bathroom was filthy with black mould marks and the Bathroom door was completely rotten. The walls were paper thin - I was kept awake until after midnight. I phoning reception 3 times to ask if the room next door could turn their television down which was blaring for hours. After the third phone call over 2 hours they eventually did at 10.30pm. After this the room on the other side was on a phone call until after midnight shouting down the phone quite unpleasantly. I will never return to this hotel or recommend it to anyone.

I had positive expectations of this hotel having stayed in other Mercure hotels in recent years, however this hotel was very dated by comparison and run down. The room was clean enough, however the TV was very small for a modern hotel room, and the general fixtures and fittings were not of the standard I expected. My colleague and I both opted for rooms here over other nearby hotels due to it's central location and previous good experience of Mercure hotels, however we were both disappointed with this property and would be unlikely to return or recommend it to others. The sound insulation in the rooms was extremely poor, with both colleague and I both experiencing issues with noise to differing degrees. More positively, the car park, whilst small, felt secure, and the breakfast was fine, with gluten free options available on request which my colleague required. This hotel would benefit from a refurbishment to modernise the rooms, and it this were to happen I'm sure it would attract a very positive reaction from future guests.
