We booked half board but when we got there we were told that we had to order and eat in the bar area as the restaurant is for coach parties! Eating dinner when a coach load comes in, not pleasant. Next night there was a wedding in the marquee. We decided to eat in the conservatory, which was nice until the whole wedding party came in. After that we couldn’t get near the bar and had to go to our room with no dessert or more drinks. Also we were told there would be music from the wedding but wow it was so loud! As paying guests we felt like second class citizens. There should be a bar area for residents but as usual I expect the problem is they do not have enough staff to cover this. The staff did their best and the food we had was nice but we expected a four star experience with a nice dinner in the restaurant not bar service! Also the window in our bedroom had to be propped up with towels so we could get some fresh air. Overall not a great experience.

Good location for the racecourse

I recently stayed at the Mercure Haydock Hotel in St Helens and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The hotel offers comfortable and well-appointed rooms, providing a relaxing environment after a busy day. The staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. The facilities were excellent, including clean communal areas and convenient amenities. The location is great for both business and leisure travelers, with easy access to local attractions and transport links. Overall, the Mercure Haydock Hotel provided excellent value and hospitality, and I would happily stay there again.

Old and tired hotel

Nothing special, it’s showing its age and the traffic it’s had over the years through its doors, I didn’t find the room that clean and the air conditioning didn’t seem to work or was difficult to operate. Not bad though for the price

Looking old now.

Rooms are now quite tired for the amount you are paying. The gym is very small and again is looking quite old. Breakfast is expensive & not that great (last time I had it) so I no longer bother booking it & have breakfast elsewhere. It is a great location & is usually available so if thats what you need its OK

Fine, but not great

Breakfast was not great - very little selection, scrambled eggs tasted odd. Hotel rooms are quite dated, and the gym could do with a clean / update. However, room was quiet and staff was generally friendly.

May be better another time

I didn’t enjoy my stay, there was no air conditioning and static issues with the metals in bathroom, no idea what that was but I got about hour and half’s sleep due to it being too hot and a really loud noise coming from the landing area.

They had no lift and I am disabled. The walk to the room and stairs made me ill. The room was OK but the bed was too hard and uncomfortable. They had a wedding on the Saturday night and the noise of the music was ridiculous with a thumping base, went on till midnight. I would never go back.
