I was told that its a very old hotel which got renovated recently (& got converted from Novotel to Mercure). I was there in sep 2012 & some Renovation & maintainence works were going on in their swimming pool, they requested me to use the pool of an adjacent hotel (nice gesture though) when I wanted to use the pool, I was a bit dissappointed as every thing I expected from a brand like Mercure wasnt there due to some reasons, the wifi was not worki6ng & there was a strange smell in the hotel. good part was that they have a shuttle service to the main road & back . I booked this hotel for only a day & I checked out the next day as per my booking.
