I know the area so I know what a dump it is but booked the hotel based on the spa facilities and price. The hotel is old, I mean its so old that the carpet is the same as when I stayed here (When it was Mercure) about 14 years ago!! The rooms, although large, are tired and worn, the bed is about as comfortable as a concrete block, the pillows have the same comfort levels as folded paper and the bathroom looks like its seen things I wouldnt want to describe!
The spa facilities were closed when I arrived, which is annoying and a major reason why I selected the hotel, the response was "sorry" but yeah, still expect full price. I wouldnt stay there again, I wouldnt recommend either.
