Burton Upon Trent Newton Park

Stayed with family in what should have been a superior room. There where crumbs on carpet, stained sheets, dirty wc and overall a depressing room. We eventually left 15 minutes after arriving. Wouldn’t let my dog sleep in that hole. Staff where also numb.

Absolutely appalling, hotel does not answer the phone or questions of customers. Have called atleast 10 times to get through to someone but no one at the front desk!! Tried the reservation line and there also clueless!

Never got the chance to stay here - our booking over Christmas to visit family was cancelled with around a month until the big day. The explanation was: As I’m sure you’ll understand (how patronising) the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry has been significant and the hotel is having to prioritise long-term bookings to support their recovery. Well I am sure I understand that Mercure does not value our custom and has found a better offer. Supporting recovery is understandable but am I inclined to book with Mercure again or recommend them given their unreliability? Absolutely not. Shocking behaviour. Now we are saddled with finding another place when lots of places are booked out and we will have to pay through the nose. Mercure - you call yourself a professional chain? This would never happen with Hilton. If you are considering staying here, don’t. Take your custom elsewhere, otherwise you run the risk of being let down. Thanks Mercure for causing a great deal of stress ahead of the festive season, when instead we should be looking forward to celebrating with loved ones. It's not like we've waited two years for this or anything given travel restrictions (oh wait...yes it has been two years).
