Norman B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL
The standard room was pleasant and clean but, as a double, lacked storage space: only one single wardrobe and no draws. One of the 2 small shelves in the wardrobe was taken up by a safe, which would be fine if there had been other shelves or draws. My wife and I stayed for a Society Dinner on a Saturday night. Darlington has changed a lot since I knew it in the 1960s and 70s. It now seems to cater for outdoor entertainment, loud music and far too much alcohol. We had very little sleep as the Mercure Kings Hotel has a 24hr reception so noisy, some clearly the worse for wear revellers, mostly female but a few males made a lot of noise on their return in our corridor, almost continuously until after 3am. We decided to give breakfast a miss and checked out at 0730. The Society Dinner was excellent with very good food served very professionally, which it had been on previous occasions. We had stayed at the Premier Inn about 10 minutes walk away from the Mercure on the previous occasions. Strangely, our room had the most odd laminated MDF structure taking up far too much space at the end of the bed merely to house a TV; quite bizzare! Sorry Mercure but we shall not be staying in this hotel again, I'm afraid. Also there was no soap either as a bar or in a wall dispenser in the room. The shampoo sufficed though!

Ian L TripAdvisor review
Arrived to not a particularly genuine welcome. Allocated a very small room. "ring reception if you need anything" but witnessed the phone ring several times but not answered. Tried the welcome drink but short of beer. Restaurant closed because they had two groups staying so only bar food available. Not offered the option of having breakfast in the morning. Felt to be an unwanted guest!
