Positive Reviews

positive:

Clean and spacious rooms

Rooms at the Mersey are often described as clean and spacious. Earlier reviews indicated that the rooms were in a poor condition but it seems that issues have been largely addressed by new owners. There are no luxuries here and there is some noise from the bar to contend with but you should be comfortable.

positive:

Friendly service from staff

Guests frequently mention that they found the hotel and bar staff to be welcoming and friendly throughout their stay. It appears that you can expect a nice atmosphere here at the Mersey.

positive:

Budget-friendly choice

If you're looking to keep a tight rein on your budget, this hotel might be a good option for you. Previous guests have found the room rates are reasonable, especially as parking, Wi-Fi and a continental breakfast are included. The bar menu is found to be reasonably priced too.


Negative Reviews

negative:

A little too isolated for some

Although guests like the riverside location and the view of Jubilee Bridge, a number of reviews indicate that some found the pub/hotel was a little too isolated. A car would be beneficial here.

negative:

Car parking could be better

Several guests express dissatisfaction with the car parking facility, which is sometimes described as a muddy area with lots of rubbish around. Also, it seems that you have to walk across muddy grass to get to the hotel and the facility is poorly signposted.

negative:

Better suited to contractors

Feedback suggests that the Mersey is better suited to contractors. Despite the children's play area, reviews give the sense that this is a “working man's pub” and not necessarily the kind of place where you would stay with your family.
