Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay overall. It was a little spoiled that the AC was not working in the first room we were allocated. I had paid for an upgrade too. We were moved to another room without any fuss and I was refunded on checkout. The hotel is well located, close to the Cathedral and a 5 minute walk to the quayside. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was clean and comfortable. A special mention to Alice & Peter who helped us when we had to move rooms. We will return to the Mercure, hopefully for a little longer, soon. We highly recommend this hotel.

My wife's birthday treat so we could eat at Cote and relax with pool and jacuzzi. On arrival informed pool was out of action but might be back on later. In the room was a birthday card and chocs from the hotel and 2 free drinks at the bar. After a nice evening at Cote we settled down but noticed just a coffee machine on show. It was 5 am and no reply from room service or the desk. So we had to drink pink wine.. 8.30 dressed and visited the desk. Told the Pool was back on and that tea and milk were in a cupboard under the TV. Back to the room and found tea facilities in a cupboard.. visited Pool but it was very cold .. sauna and jacuzzi were good. So would I return.. after all the drama. .. Absolutely .. after all location is perfect for Xmas market, shops and Cote. and now I know where they hide the tea and kettle.

Great room, confusion over extras ordered
An overnighter in Exeter to see a music concert, the room was very tidy and clean and the bed comfortable. I was given an opportunity to preorder wine, champagne or beer for the room, I requested wine, weird I thought the system didn't ask whether I wanted red, white or rose and upon arrival there was no record of the request and then the price came into question, the pre booking was £20 yet initially I was quoted £25, to Mercures credit they instantly changed the price to £20 and delivered the wine to the room with a. Couple of glasses...and the wine was very good 👍
