Thank you to the Mercure team for an excellent stay in Darlington. Thank you inparticular to Karl - for being helpful giving us directions for keeping dry and finding our way round Darlington.
Merry christmas to you all.xx
Decent hotel overall however, the big let down was the that the radiators could not be turned off forcing us to have the windows open. Normally this isn’t the end of the world however with the city centre location, there was lots of noise made by drunk people and a bell from a local church every hour. Tap strangely did not get cold either.
It's located in the very centre of the town. A short walk to the many restaurants, pubs and shopping. The staff are very friendly. I enjoyed my 4 day stay.

Staff were welcoming on arrival. Great location, although we were on noisy side(entrance). More tea/coffee needed in room. Didn't realise at time. Bed really comfy.

The room needs to have some repair work. Window locked open double glazing ineffective. Breakfast appeared to be reheated and no orange juice. Would not stay again
