Enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was simple but met my needs as I didn’t stay in the hotel during the day. The bar had a decent selection of food, had a large well kept clean eating area, and the breakfast was good. Some parts of the hotel were tired looking, shut off and in a state of disrepair but the communal areas were well kept and attractive. Lovely view of the canal from the bar area and upstairs breakfast dining area, but I didn’t get a chance to walk along side of it. The car park was convenient as it was located downstairs and easy to get to. Was a bit of a maze in the actual hotel but you quickly got used to where to go. I stayed on the 2nd floor and didn’t have the best view from my hotel window as it overlooked a large roof with a big metal pipe. Would have hoped the window would open even just a little for fresh air at night. I think there was an air con unit in the room (didn’t try it), but I personally prefer natural air. Parking cost £7 per night (24hours). Staff were helpful . I would stay here again.

Needs refit - rude staff

Hotel needs a refit. Room very dusty - had to buy cleaning stuff to do it myself. Air conditioning clogged with dust - constantly pumping out lumps of dust. Lift intermittent - cleaner who I asked if it was out of order rude (told me ‘Use the stairs’ even though I had 2 bags and back pack). I asked reception and left please clean room sign on door 3 times but room was never cleaned. Car park in need of resurfacing.

Overall, a great stay. The hotel isn’t pretty from the outside, but it makes up for it inside. I found the rooms to be more modern than other Mercure Hotels that I have stayed in. The breakfast was excellent. Plenty to choose from and fresh too. Great value for money and would definitely stay there again.

Good hotel. No issues during our stay. Hotel is a bit dated and tired from outside but lobby and rooms are quite nice. Car parks a little tricky to get into with narrow high entrance kerbs so watch your alloys! Nice area with good view of the river
