The staff were polite, helpful and friendly, especially Alex in the restaurant. The excec' chef was helpful when my wife suffered a stomach upset and provided some suitable off menu food. We will certainly recommend and return. Thank you for the excellent service.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and couldn't really fault anything but then it was only one night. The only niggle we had was paying £15 for 24 hours parking. We had four rooms at over £100 each so would expect this to be included seeing it was onsite parking.

We had a few issues with the room not being serviced, once and another time we arrived back at 5.15 and it hadn’t been done, so we had to wait 15 mins before we could get in the room also the breakfast wasn’t fully stocked and they had run out of fresh fruit salad with over an hour to go before it finished, Saturday was well stocked.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room was exceptionally clean, which made for a very comfortable and pleasant experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. The highlight was definitely the outstanding view from the room—waking up to the stunning sea view was truly unforgettable. The bed was super comfy, ensuring restful nights, and the bathroom was modern and well-maintained. Overall, a fantastic stay, and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway!

Room and hotel in general were excellent very big and comfortable bed. Don't attempt to order room service nobody seems to know what is on the menu or what the price is. The gentleman who brought our order didn't know the price and the receptionist at check out asked us how much it was. We would stay here again but we wouldn't attempt to use room service.

We had an adapted room for four nights. The room was very spacious. Housekeeping did not make up room one day, no explanation, as it was late when returned to room, we did not bother. Breakfast was very good. Drinks from bar reasonable. Parking was very limited and we were never able to park there . Overall a good hotel for wheelchair users with ramp access.

It is my 3rd time at the Mercure this time booking via expedia, on this occasion I found the room to be cleaned very late in the day which I declined as I had already returned back to relax before getting ready for the evening. On one occasion I returned to find my room door slightly ajar and a card in the door slot. Obviously as they tended to the room they left the card in the slot and my door ajar! I took the card to the lobby but I dont think the staff understood the gravity of what I was saying and just told me she could replace MY card if I wanted. I gave up trying to explain and was just thankful nothing in my room was disturbed. I was also disappointed by the parking headspace, from my previous visits I know a space is not to be expected but it is not advertised on the headspace, arriving this visit with a roof box I found I was unable to fit under the 2M height restriction and had to find other local parking. Despite the above I will visit again, this and the sister hotel Ibis really bring another level of accommodation to Paignton.

Stressful breakfast
We liked the location of the hotel overlooking the sea and the building is new, shiny and clean and the rooms are spacious and well designed. We stayed the weekend and on the Saturday we were out all day till 10pm but when we returned our room hadnt been serviced - the bed was unmade, dirty cups and tea/coffee not replenished etc.. We called reception and got an apology and replacement tea/ coffee but housekeeping had gone home. We found breakfast both mornings quite a stressful experience. Fried/poached eggs and hash browns have to be ordered and it's hit and miss whether you get your eggs as they dont have table numbers. We asked 3 times for our eggs only getting them after we had finished the rest of our hot breakfast. There was only frozen fruit on the Saturday, Sunday there was melon and frozen. I wasnt happy with the attitude of the restaurant manager on the Saturday morning when i pointed out the issues with our egg order and I didnt feel listened too. They just dont have enough staff during breakfast, they were struggling with the dishwasher - dishes piling up at the bar was unsightly. We visit Paignton 4 to 5 times a year, and thought we'd give this hotel a try but I am afraid we will not be returning unless the breakfast situation improves as wd came out of breakfast feeling quite stressed. On checking out I asked for a discount because of room not being done and they didnt know how to issue a refund!

were told by reception on arrival no restaurant/bar capacity for guests other than the coach parties. we booked a ‘privilege room’ which was a nice typical executive style room with sea view. Coffee was below average biscuits were nice though (although you’d need more as so hungry as no dinner available) we ended up ordering a papas to share as too tired to explore after journey! very underwhelmed by the whole experience such a let down for paignton as it should have been good!
