Lights didn’t work in room, bathroom central light didn’t work (mirror lights did) tired bathroom decor and a shower head that wanted to part ways with its fixture when trying to alter water pattern. Bed was comfortable.

Staff were fantastic, hotel is easy to get to and find. Great location for the hospital, Tesco and for all the heritage sites around.

Clean room

Menu choice for dinner was very limited. Paid extra £10 a room to pay at hotel. When arrived to check in payment had already been taken! No mention of refunding the £10 for each room.

Bath area was mouldy also main table had lots of varnish missing from it,hotel rooms could do with a make over and the corridors looked more like a dormitory than a hotel

All round good

We liked the decor and ambience of the main area, and our room was very cozy. The staff were very helpful and polite. We both enjoyed our stay very much.

The hotel as a whole was ok and comparable to premier inn, the decor is quite old and could do with a freshen up. The room was well equipped, with tea and coffee, flat screen TV and plenty of toiletries.

Clean room, friendly staff.

Excellent staff

Friendly staff. Value for the money.

The breakfast was good and made eggs to order. Reception helped us out with taxis. The bed was comfortable. On arrival things such as parking and breakfast was not made clear to us so we had to ask plus there was confusion over payment. The hotel was clean in the surface but not thoroughly on closer inspection. It was very hot outside and we had a fan but it was not very powerful making being in the room for a long period of time unpleasant.

Hotel is in poor musty smelling condition. Paintwork, carpets fixings is all very old and dirty. Musty smell is so strong in the back rooms 279. Curtains are dusty and smelly. Its in desperate need of an overhaul, definitely not a 4 star rating.

Good stay, comfortable beds, room are a little dated but not a problem for the price we paid. Clean and tidy.

The room was terrible and smelt dirty, the fan did not work properly. Disrespectful residents banging and talking loudly in the corridors, and i swear i had a nocturnal ta dancing elephant in the room above me.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel .. room way too hot. Freestanding air con unit not working properly as dial broken .. no doors on the wardrobe as they had been taken off .. no bedside table on one side of the bed .. extractor fan in the bathroom was on constantly as no isolating switch .. no safe.. whole place in need of a refurbishment.. we booked two stays in different Mercure hotels & this one was better than the first one.. that one is in Telford & was absolutely terrible .. we left a review of that one with pictures but it’s never been published .. the manager told us we had paid more using hotels.com & that they would have given us a refund but we had to go through Hotels.com but I have found this an impossible task.. we will not be using Hotels.com again or Mercure hotels

Need to update website, no swimming pool as advertised

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable hotel. Nice breakfast.

The room was very nice and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We weren't impressed with the restaurant and only ate in there on our first night. They didn't have the first couple of meals I chose, which was steak and salmon. I ended up having a chicken tika curry, which was very good. We also ended up waiting 20 minutes for our drinks for some reason. Everyone just seem to disappear. They were very apologetic when they realised what had happened. They also advertise on their web site that they a swimming pool, but apparently it's been closed for a while.
