Weekend Away

I was more than delighted with my weekend at the Mecure Hotel. It was had all the procedures of COVID-19. It was shame that the restaurant and bar were closed as it would have been really nice. The hotel was awfully however my room had a fan which was very useful. Furthermore my bed was massive despite it being a double room.

Mercury Hotel

The hotel was ok don’t think I would stop again if I was in Leicester would probably check out a different hotel the only good thing I can say it was Good location if you wanted to go In the town centre but unfortunately Checking in wasn’t a good experience seemed to be one rule for some people and another rule for others When Wearing face mask and Hand sanitizing

Absolutely stunning building, tired room. In a room with limited natural light you would expect good electric lighting unfortunately this wasn’t the case. Lots of lights but low wattage bulbs. Bathroom had 4 lights with only 1 working. Staff were lovely throughout.

Pros and Cons

A good location for us to travel by train and visit Richard111 Centre and van Gogh exhibition.Bar/lounge pleasant and staff helpful and welcoming. Sadly we were given a very cold room with a non functioning radiator. The second room was the same but number 3 was ok. We met another guest who told us the heating was down in part of the hotel.
