Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Overall, the hotel is in desperate need of investment. The worst nights sleep ever had!! Due to inconsiderate guests, wafer thin walls, and very poor heating controls. The cleaning standards are something to do addressed, with the very basics, failing miserable. In addition to most staff ,failing to have any sense of urgency in performing there duties. The spa & pool area, requires a complete Overall, with only positive is usage included within the room rate. The restaurant is adequate if you have no desire for anything special, with the breakfast offering, certainly nothing special.

Checked in ok started working at the desk, heard a noise at the door and another male guest lets himself into my room with a key . As a lone solo female traveller it’s not acceptable went down to reception with the guest and got told I had to change rooms. I refused and then got told I could stay put . Hardly any toilet paper had to go to reception twice to request more . Bathroom had a lot of mould. Dinner waited 45 mins from walking in to getting my order. Forgot to bring wine to the table . I never complain about a hotel but I won’t be staying here again

The first room I was given was at the rear of the Hotel, when I found the Wi-Fi wasn't working I was moved to the front of the hotel. This was a mistake as I was kept awake half the night by noise. The first noisy event was not the hotel's fault, but that of some ignorant so-and-so who, at 03:30, couldn't be bothered to get out of their vehicle to let someone know they were there, beeping their horn instead! Technically the second two occurrences weren't the hotel's fault either, but it is something they can do something about. Large dustbins wagons arrived at 04:30 and at 04:50 to empty the refuge bins, with the accompanying reverse warnings sounds and bins being lifted and emptied. The hotel was good value, but the most of the buffet cooked breakfast was over cooked, with the fried eggs being like bullets, and the bacon like leather.

The young lady in the front desk was multitasking, but not very well. She gave us two lots of keys for two different rooms. We went for dinner when we arrived and the food took forever and it was just mediocre

Hotel Mercure went the extra mile to accommodate our need for a ground floor room for our disabled dog. All communications were prompt and courteous, and when we checked on the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. This all helped ease the issues of travelling with a beloved disabled pet and we really appreciated all they did for us. Would definitely recommend them, and definitely stay there again should we return to Chester.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and staff were on the whole polite and welcoming but I felt there was a bit of a lack of consistency in what the staff informed us about. It was also a bit hit and miss if you got room refreshments restocked each day. Cleanliness was good and pool area was lovely.

The staff where lovely and helpful. The hotel was a bit grotty, the back of the toilet seat was dirty, hair on the shower curtain, that sort of thing. Our room had an adjoining door to the next room, it sounded like they where in the room with us, no soundproofing. The food was ok, but the order was wrong. I didn't use the pool because I was put off by the overall state of the place. It needs a really good deep clean. It was not worth the cost.
