Mercure Parkside Milton Keynes  

The decor was really lovely, it had been carefully thought about and was smart and well kept. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. Staff were helpful and friendly. Huge breakfast menu of high quality and also using local produce. Would definately stay again.

Comfortable and peaceful in a pleasant country setting.

The location is superb, the staff were helpful,friendly and professional. We wpould definately stop there again.

I liked the fact that nothing was too much trouble, the staff were lovely and made one feel very welcome. It was warm, clean and well run. I was only there for one night, so as long as it was well kept and clean I was happy, but the bonus was the delightful surroundings, an extremely clean and well proportioned room and warm welcome.

The staff were excellent but our stay never met our expectation having asked for a quiet room we were in hearing distance from the m1 motorway and another very busy trunk road so our expected peace and quiet three nights were blotted somewhat. We asked for the toilet and lobby light to be serviced and it was not. Staff gave us the opportunity to change rooms but the bathroom of the alternate bedroom was dirty so we stayed in first though uncomfortable room. The price of soft drinks in the lounge was grossly inflated and the quality therein was shabby. The overall appearance of the hotel needs a huge makeover as the carpets were both dirty and badly worn throughout, even in the bedroom. We werre only staying because our friend booked the room and could not stay due to family reasons otherwise we would have complained even more. Our friend's credit card was charged twice and the hotel didn't mention a word about that so we suggest they are only interested in the bottom profit line and never their paying guests. Not a comforting ideal.

We liked the staff but felt they were working under pressure to provide. As a gesture of goodwill, we received a two-drink voucher but on enquiring about was this sort of voucher rare, we were inforned that it happens all the time so this says a great deal about the lack of interest in making guests' experience comfortable and unique.

The Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable with everything required. The 2 single beds were comfortable.

I could walk to the hospital where I was working, nice to see greenery around a hotel instead of concrete, quite attractive building in a jaded sort of way!

Very noisy doors when they slam shut. I was woken up numerous times during the night by people going to their rooms and the corridor door slamming after them on its closer. Waited for quite long times at reception when I wanted things, they cannot see you from where they are working, they don't seem to look at the cctv much!

The location was delightful. Staff were efficient and friendly. Avery high standard of cleanliness. Will stay again when in Milton Keynes.

first rooms allocated were smelt musty/mouldy! Internet access only at an fee run down and tired in many areas Not a manor house experience as expected just an average hotel!

Staff courtesy

Speed of service,waited an age for dinner and breakfast (35-45 minutes)

Friendly Staff. Good buffet breakfast. Location-handy for Woburn Goilf Club!

Pity there was no view from room 17, but at the price, what can one expect!!

Despite proximity to Milton Keynes, the setting was rural and quiet

Not that I didn't like but some might worry that it is very much a Milton Keynes wedding venue at the weekend so the hotel is dominated by that.

Staff excellent very helpful service very good. Barman Lit the open fire for us which really made a difference and it felt like home ! food was wonderful - Receptionist booked my wife a train to London nothing was a problem, location was great out in the countryside peaceful and quite - yet only 10 mins to the center of Milton perfect for me. Room was great and bed comfy and had a great night's sleep. I can recommend the afternoon tea ad sandwich/cakes absolutely delicious and great value at £19 plus two glasses of champagne !

Wifi should be free - £7 for 2 hours ! what's all that about
