Mercure White Hart Salisbury - Salisbury, United Kingdom 

After reading reviews about this hotel we were expecting a shabby tired old place. However, due to the fact that Mecure were doing a special room deal of ?69 including breakfast we decided to rough it. This was cheaper than even the B & B'sin Salisbury, The hotel has a free car park and you enter through a lovely courtyard with tables where you can sit surrounded by trees and flowers. Reception was very large with plenty of comfy sofas not in the least scruffy. Hotel staff were very nice and our room was newly refurbished with a brand new bathroom. Breakfast was of a standard of any 4 star hotel we have stayed in with lots of fresh fruit, and all the usual choices of cooked breakfast etc., all served in a clean and very pleasant dining room. We can't say what the unfurbished rooms are like but apparently only 11 are left to receive the new treatment. We had a very nice time in Salisbury and would definately use this hotel again.

Having read some of the reviews we approached this hotel with some trepidation but our fears were groundless. Arrived late Friday to find plenty of room in the car park and a pleasant greeting at reception. Room was big and had been refurbished, very comfortable with everything you needed. Lovely breakfast room, and you could eat outdoors if you wished. Excellent location, being minutes away from anything in cenral Salisbury. Reception very helpful with pubs,restaurants, even best way to cross the road at tricky set of lights outside - customer care!! Only problem for some would be no lift, although staff were available to help if required. Also wedding receptions were a little noisy until midnight when music switched off but did not bother us. Only a 2 night stay but would recommend it , although you need to shop around to get a good rate - including breakfast. Would stay there again.
