Stayed recently for 5 nights. Hotel is attached to a leisure centre. The pool, spa and hotub are not owned by the hotel, so expect to mix with the public. Rooms are very dated but comfortable. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast in the onsite restaurant is amazing. Some shopping and restaurants nearby. Parking is free with stay.

Fabulous hotel with friendly and efficient staff. In the middle St Helens so well placed with ample parking (lots of signs telling you to book your car in!). Used the leisure facilities and they were great again with friendly and efficient staff and very clean. Restaurant staff great and the food was excellent. Can’t praise the hotel highly enough so won’t deduct any stars for the only bugbear from the stay. We booked half board but no details on Hotels.com and no details on reception apart from it was dinner and breakfast. The cost was £80 so seemed reasonable but the additional cost for breakfast on the booking page was £11 ( full cost £25). So even at full cost the “Dinner allowance should have been £55 but we were told in the restaurant to order as normal they would deduct £40 from the bill. Clearly not an economic option so will not book this type of stay in the future. Hotel might say they are deducting vat from the fee but that does not make sense either as vat is included in the prices paid. Drinks were extra which we expected and the cost in comparison to other places was reasonable. Will use Mercure again but not on a half board basis.

A wet weekend in St. Helens

Arrived just as a coach full of Spanish travellers arrived so we headed to the bar to wait to check in. After checking in and reaching our room were dismayed to see bathroom had a leak and the floor was covered in water. We were told hotel was fully booked (a wedding party was taking place) but the lovely receptionist managed to swap rooms for us but unfortunately this was on a lower floor above the party. The new room was very clean and warm- too warm with the temperature measuring 26.7degrees so we needed the air conditioning on- very noisy and hot! A lot of noise from the wedding music too! Just unfortunate!
