Mercure Hotels in Deauville

This 4* hotel is situated between Deauville and Trouville adjacent to the Deauville marina , which at this time of year was full of yachts etc. The room was a privilege room which meant we enjoyed certain extras. The room itself was of a reasonable size and being a wheelchair user quite accessible in terms of its facilities although you would need to be able to transfer from wheelchair to shower chair which was a bit of a squeeze. The room also had a south east facing balcony and we enjoyed our morning breakfast sitting out and watching the world go by , and also the lovely view of the marina. The room was very well decorated to a high standard and also provided was a small fridge which came in handy on the warmer days. Our room was kept clean and serviced to an exceptionally high standard and the bed was very comfortable resulting in some very goodnights sleep. We did not eat at the hotel as we do not have a substantial breakfast although it's fair to say the dinig room was very popular every morning. In the evenings there is such an overwhelming choice of eateries it was difficult to know where to start. All in all a pleasant stay, the staff were friendly although I have to say the entrance has a step if you have a wheelchair ,however if required a ramp is available. As we did not require a ramp being able to negotiate the step (quite small) we were taken aback by the reluctance of some of the staff to assist in holding the door open- this required my wife to enter obtain the wooden chock to open and keep the door open . One or two individuals did however assist and this would not in itself put us off returning which we hope to do next year. As they say manners maketh man. All in all a lovely staff in an elegant comfortable room centrally located for both Deauville and Trouville. A very enjoyable stay.
