I have stayed in hundreds of hotels whether for business or personal solo travel and this one was definitely a favorite of mine. All staff there are very kind, efficient, and dedicated to excellent customer service- Stephen, Anne, Mary, and manager Pritesh. They do have an award for best guest service for a reason:)
There are many things that made the room special, which were very high attention to detail- the kitchen with everything you need for cooking makes you feel
right at home, dishwasher tablets, a cute summer pitcher, a nice board above the desk to post/hang things, a side table to eat while watching tv, purell wipes near the remote- just nice finishing touches to make it special. The bed was very comfortable and had great pillows. They had free Costa coffee, free laundry, and a snack room fully stocked with again- thoughtful things people would need for travel and great variety of options.
The staff were always cleaning when I was there and housekeeping did a great job.
If you are planning to stay in Merriville, I recommend this be your hotel choice. I know there are about 10 other options in the same area, but this one is by far the best!
Thank you for a great stay and thank you for your hardwork- it is appreciated and recognised by a traveler like myself who pays attention to everything!:) 5 stars ⭐️
