This is a 3 star hotel so i wasn't expecting much, however on one occasion one of my bath towels was dirty. At breakfast time on the day of leaving there was very little for breakfast, I got the last sausage and when my husband went up all he came back with was beans and a fried egg. This is unacceptable especially when we paid for the breakfast. I know it said free but when we added breakfast the price jumped up by £80.00. Also not happy to pay for parking my car especially as I am registered disabled. All in all I wont be coming back

Reception area looked good. Arrived early so sat in lounge until check in time. Our room was on 6th floor & looking out towards sea. Room itself was very outdated. Beds were at least the 3’ width. Not much space to get out of bed on one of them. We found the toilet did not flush unless you did 3/4 times. During the night there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in bathroom.. I knew I was not imagining things when my wife also reported it to me. Mentioned this to reception. Evening meal, selection on menu very poor. In fact us & another family related couple were the only 4 in there. After long drives we did not fancy trying to find somewhere else. Breakfast, fresh fruit had run out. Waitress said more being prepared. Be 5 minutes.
Was told this on 3 occasions. 20 minutes later a bowl of pineapple & some chunks of water melon appeared.
One coffee machine stopped working. It was still not working on following morning. Quassants tasted stale.
Bearing in mind that the room rate had doubled as it was Ayr gold cup weekend. Nearly £250 /night. Plus car park charges per night of £7.
I will not ever be stopping there again. Choose wisely.
Another family member stayed at another hotel close by & were also very dissatisfied so maybe it’s an Ayr thing.

Ayr Mercure

Having read some of the reviews for this hotel I was concerned that it might not be up to scratch. Yes the hotel building is an ugly eyesore but there’s not much can be done about that. The way the building looks is where the bad points end for me.
The hotel is in a great location in the town centre, easy access to trains and buses but it also has parking a few short yards from the main entrance.
Inside the hotel there a really nice reception and bar, the rooms are a good size and very clean and comfortable. The age of the decor might lead some to think the rooms could look cleaner but they are definitely well maintained.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and it’s easy access everywhere if you’re not as mobile as others.
If you get a high floor sea view room then your stay is even more improved.
Nothing bad to say.

Basic, book only if you need a central Ayr hotel

A very basic hotel in a great location. With a few exceptions service very poor (one receptionist very helpful, the others couldn’t care less. Ignored multiple times at the bar so went elsewhere. Breakfast staff pleasant). The hotel is in a terrible state and it surprises me that Accor allow them to use their name (albeit falling off the outside wall). Room comfortable in cooler weather but very dated, and the building and decor are in an awful condition.

Blonde girl said the doors don’t shut properly but main door will be locked . Was very strange . Attitude of blonde girl on desk was shocking. Very abrupt. And spoiled our stay straight away . I nearly walked straight out . But my friend calmed me down. Very poor people skills and aggressive. Worst I’ve ever came across.

Parking Nightmare

A group of us were staying at this hotel whilst in Ayr for a para lawn bowls event. We all put out registration numbers into the iPad on reception and paid the parking to the receptionist. Fast forward we have all received “fines” from a third party company. They refer you to the hotel, the hotel don’t want anything to do with it and refer back to this organisation.

Great Rooms, great location. Much nicer looking inside than out! Nice clean open bar and lobby area. Helpful staff. The only criticism was how mean the breakfast service was. They seemed to be on a mission to hand out the smallest amount of food possible. 40 people trying to eat, eggs coming out 12 at a time, bacon coming out 12 slices at a time. No beans, no bread, no pastries.........

Worst in a while.

Worst hotel iv stayed in. Late being checked in, free parking as adveritised costs £7. The hotel is so run down, no sleep at all with volume of other residents and virtually no souns proofing to the outisde. Beds are hard and horrible to sleep in, pillows genuinly felt like sand bags. Id say if its just a cheap room your looking for and just a bed for the night yeah this is right but at £137 for a twin room theres so many other options in the area. Premier inn and travel lodge that way you know what your getting. We ended up leaving and going home at 3am in the morning as the hotel was that loud.

This hotel needs work

The pleasant lady who checked me in gave me an upgrade to my room and that was most appreciated, especially the wonderful view. The hotel is very tired looking and my room wasn’t cleaned to a high standard. One of the tooth mug glasses in the bathroom had somebody else’s toothpaste marks in it and the tv table needed wiping as well as the remote control. Everything could have done with a deep clean. My room carpet had a black thread on it (not mine) and what looked like burn marks on the carpet. Hotel doors were well worn and needed painting and the iPad I touched to confirm my parking arrangements was gritty to the touch. I wanted to wash my hands because of this. The downstairs cloakrooms were chipped and tarnished and the whole place needs a lot more care. The flooring I saw beyond reception looked absolutely filthy so expecting staff to work in that condition is a pretty poor. I choose the Mercure as it’s a known brand in a good location but it gives an air of neglect and I would be reluctant to visit that brand again.

Hotel needs refurbished out of date. The room was very dated. Furniture was terrible the windows were blown and need replacing. The views from the window are spectacular but were spoiled by the windows. Shame could be much more. Went for breakfast on the first morning the food was excellent. Also the staff were very helpful. Second day was terrible £14 each for the food. Nothing was ready had to wait for every single item. The receptionist had to help out. The breakfast staff not interested in any customer totally ignored everyone very poor. Never went back on the third day. Would not stay there anytime after that.
