Great, definitely stay again but would request a view next time

Position, lovely room, clean

As I was there seven days I asked if I could be moved to a room with a view. I could only see air con units from my window. Asked three days running but ever staff member said it was impossible without saying why??

Horrendous

The location was good but the hotel is very tired and is in desperate need of an upgrade

Very poor signage, the place was like a rabbit warren difficulty finding the right lift to go to restaurant. We were sat eating our evening meal when approached by the waiter asking for payment (I find that treatment appalling). Next morning at breakfast the staff were hovering waiting to clear your plates before we had had a chance to finish eating. Appalling behaviour

Great staff, great value

The staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. The food was great value. Servicing of the room was flexible meeting my needs as a guest

The communal corridor to the room was a bit old and tacky. The room air conditioning unit had not been cleaned and was generating some dust

Nice hotel, but the small things need to be looked at in bedrooms

We did not book Breakfast , so cannot make a comment Staff were polite and friendly

Sleep was disturbed at about 3:am on one of our nights stay due to this we did not get much sleep, will be seeking to get a refund back for one of the nights * heating did not work in the room * window in the bathroom could do with cleaning, * sockets, and usb Input next to the bedroom was not working * bedroom was located in a corner of the corridor as other guest passed by they would bang on the wall

Its ok!

Location is perfect, bed is comfortable and lovely modern design rooms.

There was no coffee in the room, only decaf ones! When you open the bathroom it’s too close the door to the toilet.

It will not happen any time soon

The view from the room was a dull car park for a building situated by the river. The entrance from the car park to reception then to the room was too long. The steps to come into the hotel from the front was also horrible for me.

Attendant says hotel is fully booked (but hotel was empty) and leaves guest in worst hotel room.

the bed was very comfortable o man who works in the afternoon always very kind and courteous

I arrived at the hotel and was attended by a woman. She gave me the room keys. I went back to reception and explained that the location of the room was very bad and that it was not pleasant. I asked to change, she said it was impossible because the hotel was full. How could a 121-room hotel be crowded in a pandemic? I then continued in the room she designated. The shower was completely clogged, and a few drops of water fell. I had to clean myself with my nails in order to take a shower (the next guest would be satisfied). The view from the room was a wall with old things thrown on the roof - completely depressing. The lighting in the room is very dark, very difficult to work. There is no fridge and they do not serve ice. If I wanted, I had to make everything hot. I walked to the hotel mornings, afternoons and evenings. Zero movement of people, no one in the hotel. It wasn't crowded, it was completely empty. Until today I did not understand the reason for lying to keep me in a horrible room.

Good location, value for money, spacious room shame about the heating.

Excellent buffet breakfast in restaurant overlooking the river. The room was a good size with comfortable bed and excellent shower in the en suite

The room was cold and the air conditioner/heater didn’t seem effective,.

Lovely, relaxed and chilled.

Only thing was getting the heating on. Reception had to put it on from there point (however that was co trolled). We loved it though once that was sorted. Hotel, the staff and food was lovely.

Heating being controlled by reception.

Very disappointing and difficult stay as we have stayed many times before and always been happy.

Location. Parking. Nice room with river view. Friendly receptionists.

We’d had a very early start on day of arrival so had gone to bed early. The fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. This was due to someone smoking in their room so not fault of hotel. The following morning we had to have cold showers before going to work. There was a problem with the hot water which was not resolved until later in the day. Someone had been sick in the lift. It had obviously not been cleaned thoroughly enough as the stench was awful. Our room was cold as the heating did not seem to be working properly. The metal plug in the basin was stuck so we were unable to use it. It was not worth reporting as we were leaving the following morning.

It was the first time we went to the mecure and was expecting quality. We didn’t even get a warmwe were extremely disapp

Lobby Looked nice

The heating did not work in our room. We were moved to another/ bigger room. The heating came on and was noisy. We asked to be moved to a smaller room with heating that worked and was not noisy. It took ages for the heating to heat up the room as it kept going on and off. In the end we asked for another portable heater. It was a very cold winter weekend and to not have the heating on or working is very poor. It was warmer in the lobby than it was in the room.

One night break in Bedford

Privilege Room was lovely, linen fresh & bed huge & comfortable. Smart furnishing. Useful fridge & nespresso machine. Bathroom clean & modern.

Traffic noise - even on 7th floor. Windows steamed up with condensation so no view of river. Secondary glazing poor & so drafty. Needed to keep curtains closed as draft excluders! Room cold even with heating up full.

Perfectly located hotel for our night at the Corn Exchange

The luxury room we had on the top floor had fabulous views over the river, the breakfast was varied and tasty and the restaurant was modern and clean with great views and checking in and out was swift and the staff were polite.

Paying to park!

The hotel is situated in a good location close to the city and river. The breakfast staff were friendly and welcoming, unlike the snooty male receptionist.

would stay again as convenient, price pitched right and comfortable clean room

Booked a premier room as staying 4 nights - lots of space, big bed, friut and cake complimentary arrival platter, pod coffee machine. All the staff were very helpful and informative, Car park was good, and good price (£5 a night) River view from room and restaurant amazing

Not at all busy, so bar and restaurant atmosphere was lacking.Skeleton staff at night to sort out restaurer- they did bar, ran up and downstairs to serve customers there, took orders and clear tables. but not always in the right place at the right time! Really didn't like the beggar on the steps of the hotel when we came back at 9,30pm Also thought the charge for breakfast was a rip off - £18 each for a very nice breakfast buffet, but certainly not worth £18. Fell for it first morning - had an Easter hot cross bun from a supermarket and a nice cup of posh coffee courtesy of the pod machine in our room the next 2 days
