Mercure Shrewsbury Albrighton Hall Hotel and Spa - Shrewsbury

we attended a wedding at this amazing hotel. everything was outstanding except. considering the hotel was full there were very few bar staff on duty. the following morning we had a private breakfast for the wedding guests which was a nice touch except there was again only 1 waitress available who went missing for 20 mins while people were waiting for the breakfast to be replenished and gasping for a morning after the night before cuppa.

Shame that the local farmers had covered their fields in muck so the whole stay was ruined by the smell and the hundreds of flies. Would not consider staying again as a result

Really good

My husband and I used the hotel as a base while our son played a cricket festival at Shrewsbury School. We did not want to be to central and found the location, approximately 15-20 mins away from the school, perfect. The hotel offered alternatives such as swimming, gym or just relaxing. We found the hotel clean, the food was excellent and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is located in a very quiet setting.

We had an excellent time staying at this hotel. Very comfortable, nicely decorate, clean and good service. We had a particularly good experience in the restaurant - we have some severe allergies that were catered to expertly by the manager on duty, who was extremely flexible, accommodating and cautious (which is what is needed with allergies!). Our only criticism is regarding ordering newspapers. We did not order a newspaper from the front desk, but noticed on our room service card when ordering breakfast that there was an option to 'tick' for a newspaper. We ticked the box, assuming that we would then receive a newspaper with breakfast the following morning. Unfortunately we did not receive this, there were no other available newspapers in the hotel and we were told at this point that we should have ordered the newspaper at reception the day before. This was only a mild irritation and we weren't charged - but I'd suggest removing the tick box from the room service card to avoid confusion for guests in the future.
