« Nice stay, lovely staff, dire heating. »

I had a nice stay and found the staff to be excellent. I remember Vlad being most helpful at breakfast. My concern about the room (220) was that the heating in the room was dire. It was so poor that there was an extra heater, which ran off a plug, to heat the room. I was also surprised that the wallpaper in the bathroom was starting to peel and that there was a massive mark on the toilet lid left behind by I guess gaffa tape - which I was surprised had not been cleaned off the toilet lid. I would be interested in knowing if these negative points are common within this hotel. If it was not for the excellent staff and comfy bed I would have rated this as a 6. If the heater work better it would have been a 9.

The room was fine. Breakfast somewhat hectic, with hardly sufficient capacity for all the guests. The walk from reception to room outside on a cold night ws less than ideal. My wife left her phone lead in the room. It has been disappointing that no progress has yet been made to recover the item. At many hotels it is found by the room cleaner identified and stored. Not at the Lambert.

« Above and beyond responsive customer service! »

When I needed help in the morning, the response was immediate and very generously given (Vlad drove me to a garage and then on to my vehicle without making me feel that I was putting him out at all) . Equally on our arrival, room was not as expected and the staff immediately changed things and gave us a few options. This service is the reason for the score of 8.

« Peaceful and relaxing »

The hotel staff made us very welcome. Their professionalism was outstanding. Nothing was too much. We mentioned a neighbouring room had the television on too loud. They looked into it for us and checked the next day that everything was OK. The room was comfy and clean. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The service in the restaurant both at breakfast and for our evening meal could not be faulted. Thank you.

« Cold breakfast, and errors with evening meal »

I'm afraid to say not a great experience. Maybe I was unlucky, dinner order was incorrect. Menu in my opinion is overpriced (esp. the steaks). Also the buffet breakfast was cold. Cold scrambled eggs and bacon is not good. Staff were however polite and helpful. Just suggest getting the catering sorted. Other people were also complaining so sure this being noticed by more than me.

Our hotel has responded to the review

Dear JASON M., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Please note that this problem was a true exception to our normal practices. Rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem. All our efforts are concentrated in preventing future occurrences. Our Breakfast buffet is a high scoring feature in the hotel so naturally I am disappointed to read your comments and will ensure the F&B manager along with the chef are made aware of your feedback. I would like to reiterate our commitment to high quality standards, and I personally would like to make sure you will experience it during your next stay with us. We are looking forward to welcoming you again at Mercure. Please do not hesitate to contact me during your next visit. Sincerely, Mark Tulett General Manager

« Clean and comfortable - if a little worn around the edges »

Staying here was fine - the mattress was comfy and the room was clean. The internet worked well and breakfast was tasty. A couple of quibbles - we felt that the duvet was really just too warm unfortunately. Also, nobody came to see if we wanted tea at breakfast. There were also a couple of areas in our room that needed repainting. Otherwise just great!
