Mercure Milton Keynes Hotel

.

Breakfast was hot and fresh. Room had a great view over the golf course and was clean. Ckeckin took a bit longer than expected writing out the card to go with the key, even having pre checked in on line.

Positives: Lovely staff at reception, clean room, comfortable beds. Fairly quiet but we were at the end of the hall. Negatives: Our room was too hot, even though it was quite cool outside. There was an A/C unit, but it was quite loud so we eventually turned it off. The lock on the bathroom door was presumably faulty and had been removed. Cheap toilet paper you would not expect at a 4* hotel. We paid half board but the restaurant staff had not been made aware of this and it was very unclear what was included. We booked as an adult and child and Hotels.com did not make clear on booking that the half board price was for one adult and 0 children. This should be made clear when presenting the available options as it seemed value for money but was not. We ended up sharing a two-course evening meal (which was very nice) and in the morning had a quick breakfast of awful coffee (this really needs to be improved) and a lovely croissant, as most of the other buffet food looked past its best.

Excellent

Great room, big bed, well appointed. Only one tea bag. Jacuzzi bath was a nice touch. Breakfast was good.
