This was a one-night stay whilst travelling on business so I was really only looking for a clean room with a comfy bed with a decent breakfast in the morning. This hotel delivered well on all three counts. It is also very conveniently located for the M40 with a McDonald's right next door. I booked for a very reasonable price and much preferred it to some of the Premier Inns that I've stayed in recently.
Nice hotel. Big room. Nice spa, only footbath broken.
The building is old and needs a renovation. If something Is broken it's not replaced.
The food isn't great. The plate are cold but the food is lukewarm. Starters were nice but pita bread wasn't toasted. Salmon very small, not even fillet and not crunchy. Risotto tasted watery. Desert way too sweet. Breakfast lukewarm too. Ok for the price overall. View from restaurant is amazing though.
It's all a bit random really. Awkward to find (signage from the road is terrible). Staff are friendly but limited in what they can do, rooms vary from the fabulous to the downright tatty.
Very popular with coach parties, so breakfast can be heaving (no seats, plates or knives when I tried on this stay).
Good if you can get the right price for the room, but not the best example of the Mercure brand by some distance
The breakfast is really good with generous portion. The coffee machine offers many choices of coffee. The pancake machine makes fresh pancakes, taste is very good as well. The service of the waitresses are good. Once the food is finished. The waitress will refill it quickly.
Superb hotel in an excellent location - close to the railway station and the key landmarks. Staff were extremely friendly (especially Nadine on the front desk) and our room was spacious, clean and quiet. I’d definitely book this hotel again.
