I recently stayed @ The Mercer for the 1st time & had an amazing stay!! The overall deisign of the hotel is very loft-like, with pure white walls, amazing lighting, cool concrete floors in the lobby & clean, simple interiors. I arrived very early in the morning around 9 & was given immed. access to my room & was also upgraded to an awesome studio (#210) The bathroom was great, with a huge soaking tub, bath salts, amazing scented candles, large bottles of FACE stockholm products (loved the lavender bubble bath & protein shampoo!!), nice shower w/ great pressure (actually, the tub & shower water pressure was super strong!!), a small (details) jar w/ condoms, mints, shower cap, cotton pads & q-tips & really high quality finishes & again, beautiful light fixtures. The entire room had mood lighting w. dimmer switches, which I personally love. A welcome amenity w/ a hand written card & a plate of fresh cookies was so thoughtful & a really lovely touch, as was the single Calla Lillie on the desk. The bed was very comfy, w/ great pillows & soft linens that were nice & cool during the Summer. The oval desk & low lying table are signatures of the Mercers interior Designer (Christian Liagre) & were very comfy & eye pleasing. My room overlooked Prince St w/ 2 huge windows with fantastic black-out shades! You can hear a bit of street noise, but I live in the city, so this wasn't a problem & you really can't hear very much of it. The mini-bar has a great selection & I consumed multiple items (reasonably priced as well) & the closet is spacious with light weight robes, slippers, umbrella, plenty of hangers, etc. My room also had a long hallway w/ a large mirror that I also loved. Super high ceiling w/ a great fan in the room/bath area as well!! I just loved the feel of the room, the light, airy design, the amazing tub & the high quality finishes. The food from Mercer Kitchen is very good. The Steamed Shrimp Salad is insanely good!! Kelly, Angela & Laura at the Front Desk are great....super helpful, kind & engaging, with a very hip, relaxed attitude that is so great in a hotel. I had a slight noise issue down the hall from my room & Angela handled it extremely well. When I requested for a late check-out until 2, it was no problem, which was so nice! Chris at the Front Desk is also amazing- he checked me in, gave me a tour of the room & was very sweet, polite & friendly! This is one of my favorite hotels in the city & I had such an amazing time!
