The fairground opposite the hotel, blocking the promised sea view when booking. The noise levels even on the beach were extremely loud and no better in the hotel room. One night until 10pm. This was not mentioned when we booked this hotel, which is regretable because the hotel itself is of the higest standard and cannot be critised.

Check in states from 3pm we arrived at the hotel for around 2.45 and was told that housekeeping was behind and room wasnt ready i then asked again around 3.10 and room still wasnt ready we were left waiting with a 1 year old till around 4.30pm when our room was finally ready this wasnt just us quite a few people were waiting too. The room was clean and nice however weve all became ill with having the air con on which we had to have on because the room was very warm and no windows to open so air con was the only option. We did have to leave for a emergency which i did tell the staff member on the desk and her response was 'i dont think ill be able to refund you' i never asked this i was just letting them know so if they wanted to use the room they could.

Amazing Hotel

Thank you for a wonderful 2 day stay at The Mercure Hotel in Paignton, Devon. My husband and i stayed in a Classic Double room with a lovely big shower, they also provided towels, hair shampoo, shower gel all organic and great quality along with the hand soap. Our bed was amazing very comfortable, also great blackout curtains too. The windows don’t open in the room but the good news is you have great air con and heating at your fingertips. The Tv was 52” and fabulous with free view channels too. Hotel has 2 lifts and a fabulous outdoor balcony area. What i loved was in the evening while having a drink outside the waiter approached us (and every other table) to hand out lovely warm fleeces to wrap around you if feeling a bit chilly as our hotel wasn’t far across from the beach. I thought this was so lovely of them to do this. We did book for dinner on our first night (booking is advised), not a very extensive menu to choose from but quality was good, a little pricey on some dishes and noticed the same menu the next night. Plenty of places to eat near by but if you didn’t want to go out the hotel then you have options. Breakfast in the morning was nice you had your continental first, then your hot buffet stuff, sausages, bacon scrambled eggs ect… but a word of warning as we didn’t find this out until I’d plated up the hot food but if you wanted your eggs a different way like poached, fried ect you need to order them separately at the bar first. Staff all fabulous. Thanks again
