We booked to use the gym then found out it was not open as it was being refurbished. The air con/heating was so noisy it kept us throughout the night. However, it was warm and the room was smart with a nice hot shower. The location is great but no nice view from our particular roo .

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

My third stay and the best so far. Previously I've been in rooms that have an interconnecting door and there's been some noise. This room was smaller but perfect for my needs and the aircon on a hot sunny day was a delight on entering the room.

Work

The location was great for work and visit alike, The hotel staff where polite and friendly and did their best to accommodate where requested. I would recommend staying there. The only thing is the windows in the tower part of the Hotel have seen better days and really should be replaced, although with the secondary double glazing its not a big issue.
