We arrived late one evening without reservations and were quickly checked in. Unfortunately our standard/classic room had not been fully cleaned and the previous occupant's dirty towels were still on the bathroom floor. The gentleman on the reception desk quickly rectified this with an upgrade to what I can only assume to be an executive room or such like. Very comfortable, quiet and clean stylish room. Very nice bathroom and shower. Would definitely stay again.

The Mercure is a clean hotel and serves its purpose if staying for a very short business trip. If you are on a longer trip (we stayed for 2 weeks, during the work week) or on holiday, definitely look elsewhere. The nearby area is only business parks. There are no good restaurants within walking distance. The hotel's "fitness center" is pitiful (1 treadmill, only open 7a-6p). The food and service in the hotel restaurant were at best, average, and usually very slow despite the limited number of diners. I would rather drive to work and stay in city center or another area with more to do. If you stay here, definitely go to city center for dinner or entertainment - it is a very nice part of town.
