Mercer Lake

For the location, I think this hotel is worth the money! My boyfriend and I stayed here to attend a concert at Roger’s arena and it was perfect, a 7min walk from the hotel. There was also tons of shops and food to check out nearby which was great because we didn’t have to drive around anywhere until it was time to go home. The hotel itself was clean and was a whole suite. There was also an Orignal Joes restaurant attached to the hotel on the bottom floor which was really convenient. I will definitely be coming back!

Seems like it would have been a nice place when it first opened, but there were a ton of issues with the room. Doors that don’t close properly, missing cupboard handles, duct tape on the floor, shoddy construction work all around which is really starting to show. The coffee was also a major disappointment. They have good beans on offer from a local roaster, but the supplies to make the coffee (coffee maker and pour-over set) aren’t up to the task. The coffee maker especially was nearly impossible to figure out and constantly came out watery and bitter. On the plus side, communication with the staff was alright, in-suite laundry was a nice touch, and the gym was well equipped enough for a short stay. I would recommend staying somewhere else in the area given the price.
