Nice hotel. Good breakfast. Too bad the toilet wasn't cleaned. There was a big poop smear on the seat and splatters on the inside of the lid. Had to clean it myself.

It’s a very welcoming hotel ideal location to surrounding areas - food and drinks are high standard. Just note if you don’t want scrambled eggs in the morning then tell staff when they seat you ( option poached or fried ) then they can get them cooking while you collect your breakfast otherwise you’ll be waiting and your breakfast from buffet selection ( full English ) will be cold.

Enjoyed my stay. I booked this as a little get away for a long weekend. The staff were all friendly and approachable and could ntk do enough to help. The room was ideal for what we need, the bed was huge. My only downside was there was no fresh air in the room just Aircon which was not the best as the room became very stuffy and it was not even the hight of summer.

So many extra costs…

We’ve been coming to Paignton for as long as I can remember. This time, we decided to try something new and booked the Mercure — it was exciting to stay somewhere different, and finding a big, dog-friendly hotel felt like a real win. Previously, we’d always stayed in good old-fashioned B&Bs. I booked through Hotels.com, which was straightforward enough. However, on arrival, we were told there was an additional charge of £15 per dog, per day. This hadn’t been mentioned during booking, and I was furious — it was a cost we hadn’t budgeted for. We reluctantly paid it, but it left a bad taste before our stay had even really begun. There’s also a £15 per day parking charge (again, not made clear at booking, but we had seen mentions of it in reviews). Thankfully, we managed to park on the road each day and avoid this extra fee. At first glance, the room seemed lovely — comfy bed, big TV, fantastic shower, and a generous amount of space. It had a bit of a ‘luxury’ feel. However, it quickly became obvious that the rooms are quite neglected. There were marks and stains on the furniture and walls, and the bathroom grouting needed a serious scrub. It was overall clean enough, but definitely lacked attention to detail. One of the big questions we had was: what does the £15 per day dog fee actually cover? We were told our room would be serviced daily, which sounded good — but all that really meant was fresh towels and a tucked-in duvet. For the extra cost, we would have expected much m
