Notwithstanding the COVID-19 restrictions, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mercure Watlington. The staff were attentive and friendly, dinner on Christmas Eve was excellent and the room perfect. A very enjoyable first stay, but certainly not our last

In general satisfactory. I booked a room on the courtyard with a request to be on the upper floor. I first got a room that faced the outside and the parking lot. This was not what I call courtyard. Room was changed to one with a field view, yet still on the ground floor. Acceptable. Enjoyed weekend breakfast. Breakfast during the week was to sugary. I understand C-19 restrictions.

I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. We had upgraded you due to your Accor status as directed by the points plan and membership status. As noted we moved you to another room at your request on advising you that the A/C system that controls the heating had been turned off as per Covid19 advice. This is why all rooms are currently used on the ground floor. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Mark Tulett General Manager

Michele Families - 12/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had a bit of an issue with hot water in the room but it was sorted out quite quickly. Everyone we came across was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and spacious with plenty of tea and coffee available. It was a shame we couldn’t sit in the bar just to drink because of restrictions but the little platter menu that was available was a good idea. Unfortunately, but understandably at the moment, a sit down breakfast is only available at weekends although we understood that is going to change in the new year. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Poor service

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

959mail 03/11/2020 TripAdvisor review

Check in was not really friendly. No upgrade possibilities. No welcome drinks. Paid for breakfast but received a bag with poor content, given to us the evening before. Even the IBIS Southampton managed to serve fresh pastries and Porridhe during Covid - this Mercure didn't.

I am sorry your experience was not a good one and I do apologise for this. We are working under restricted conditions currently and we have reviewed the breakfast offering and we are looking at ways to introduce a plated cooked breakfast from January 2021.

Great hotel stay.

Very well organised for the COVID situation. Disappointing that the ‘system’ wouldn’t allow me to charge dinner to my account thus “doing me out” of Accor points. Dinner and breakfast very good and pleasant friendly service.
