Staff openly telling you room number while checking in which is a huge security issue, mould in the bathroom on the shower head, very limited food option’s especially when you don’t want a 2 course meal. Very run down properly that urgently needs a face lift. Many better options to stay in the hunter…

Hi Clare,I apologise for this breach of your privacy. It is unusual for this to be a concern for guests, so it is a good reminder to our team about this sensitivity. Certainly in the middle of the renovation you may have seen some work being carried out around the property to improve our hotel. Certainly have great staff so this will improve these touch points you mentioned. Hopefully you will give us another chance to show you these improvements in the future.Kind regardsJulie at Mercure
