We’ve stayed here a few times and the location is great. The rooms are nice but we’ve always picked this hotel over others with better rooms due the pool and spa. I was really disappointed to learn guests now have to pay an additional £10 per person to use the facilities once at the hotel. Along with the pool fee and the £15 parking fee, plus breakfast charges it works out quite expensive and you could get a more luxurious room elsewhere. It’s a shame as we have enjoyed our stays at the Mercure but when you get less for more money it’s time to shop around.
