It was good to be back at this centrally located posh hotel. We enjoyed our room upgrade and a good sleep. Felt rather ghostly. They didn’t provide any food whereas we stayed at a Holiday Inn later in the week where we got room service dinner and hit breakfast bap. So could try harder on catering front.

pleasant stay

Perfect location, Regional Sales Manager - Hayley Coy couldn’t be more helpful, even at short notice to accommodate travelling colleagues, as for reception and house keeping , everyone makes you welcome, home from home.

Gail Business - 21/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I stayed for business during Covid restrictions and so did appreciate the experience would be compromised, but I was disappointed, especially with the food offering. I’m quite happy to have room service but the limited dinner menu had 4 curry dishes & chilli com carne (none of which I like as I don’t eat spicy food. The lasagne I opted for was very disappointing. Breakfast was even more disappointing. A table in lobby with precooked bacon rolls and urns of coffee/tea....these were v close together and social distancing non existent. I asked if I could get some cereal and fruit juice for my breakfast, but was told not available. Also disappointing, especially given I am a gold level Accor member, was the charge for car parking of £15 night....... the hotel is not full and so there was plenty of parking available. I feel it should be free at this time. I experienced ongoing issues with the toilet flush in my bathroom. I cancelled my 2nd week here and will use a different brand.

Very good stay!

E M. Couples - 12/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Welcome was indifferent and was almost an inconvenience. I realise it is a difficult time but we were only having to travel to attend a funeral so didn't really want to be there either. The room (the suite) had no heating so we had to use two oil heaters. The room service menu had only 50% choice by 7:30pm and then not all of the advertised dish could be provided. When the dinner arrive it looked like a frozen meal warmed up. It would have been better to have order a takeaway and we would have appreciated being told we could have done that. All in all, not a good experience made worse when staying for an upsetting event. The receptionist on check-out was very nice though.

I now Covid 19 places considerable challenges on any hotel. I will congratulate you for the room, it was spotless and you Covid prevention measures were good. The choice of room service food was pretty limited. And breakfast was frankly a pretty poor offering yogurt, chocolate muffin or a croissant.

Covid stay in Exeter

Steve W 07/12/2020 TripAdvisor review

The staff were truly brilliant and went out their way to make a "difficult" time very comfortable. The hotel was spotlessly clean and complying with all Covid restriction rules and guidance. I would also add that the facilities and communal areas looked very good - but of course they were out of commission. I'm a regular user of Mercure for business trips under normal circumstances.

Good afternoon Steve and thank you very much for all of your positive comments. It was encouraging for the team and I to read and thanks again for taking the time. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon I hope. Matt
