Hotels Near Fisherton Parish Church in Ayr

Booked a room for my daughters to stay. Upon arrival we encountered a completely disinterested member of staff who, quite simply couldn’t care less and sent them to the wrong part of the hotel. We booked an “Executive Room”, but there was nothing executive about it! Upon going inside all the windows were open (at 11pm on a cold October evening), probably to mask the smell of dampness in the room. Decor was well past its best and bathroom hadn’t been upgraded for some time. Breakfast on the first morning was very poor as apparently the chef didn’t turn up due to a family emergency. These things happen but staff didn’t tell my daughters and they waited 90 mins before a less than impressive breakfast arrived - see photo. General decor of hotel is very run down and there was rubbish in the car park related to some ongoing works. Yes, the rubbish has to go somewhere but no need for it to be scattered on the ground - see photo. Breakfast on Day 2 was moderately better but they ran out of bread and other ingredients but, again, didn’t tell guests when they ordered. Instead, when questioned as to why the items were missing, the reply was “oh sorry, we ran out”. Staff, with the exception of one member of staff on the restaurant, were sullen and disengaged. The general state of the communal areas is, at best, tired. Upon asking the manager what made the room “executive”, he said it was purely down to room size. The photos on the website show high specification “executive” rooms but, the manager stated, these were recently renovated rooms in a different part of the hotel and not the room my daughters were in. All in all, it was very disappointing and not a great place to stay. The manager declined to compensate for the below expectations room but did refund the breakfast on Day 1 (hence my 2 star rather than 1 star review). My advice is avoid!!

We had a very enjoyable weekend at the Mercure Hotel for the Air show. Lucy at reception allocated us with a fantastic room, with a sea view (465) , thank you Lucy. Andrew at the bar, very helpful and friendly. Not to mention all the staff at breakfast, they were all great. The breakfast was delicious . The room was so clean and comfortable, we had a great sleep! Will not hesitate to visit again. Thank you all for a memorable weekend.

My son and his new wife had their wedding here what a fantastic day every small detail catered for nothing was too much for the staff here 1st class rooms food and ambiance all went towards making this a very special day indeed the weather did not affect the photo session either I would highly recommended this venue
