Mercure Hotels in Le Blanc-Mesnil

Firstly, thank god it wasn’t our own money being spent on the stay here. Our flight was cancelled and this is where easyJet decided to put us up. On arrival the area this ‘hotel’ is based looks completely unsafe and run down. On pulling up to the place we looked at each other with sheer shock. It looked like a prison. Somewhat reassuring the big metal gates given the area we were in however. On checking in the gentleman on the desk was friendly and helpful. But that’s where the positives end. Locating our Rooms was easy on the ground floor. However who ever chose the Decor really needs a real think. It looks seriously like prison corridors. Grey everywhere. We travelled as a party of 3 so we had 2 rooms. Meaning one guest (me) was in a room alone. The rooms are dated and dirty. The shiny curtains covered in stains. The rooms smelt damp and I soon found I was not alone. I had many a pals in the mosquitoes that had taken up residence. I showered and tried to get rest but due to location of this hotel I did not feel safe. Placing the chair against the door gave some reassurance. After a few hours we had survived. Time to check out. While sitting in reception and joining up again with friends we were constantly being attacked with mosquitoes. It seems a real issue at this hotel. It really isn’t pleasant. As I say thank god it wasn’t our own money paying to stay here. We thankfully could have a joke about the whole place and look on the bright side. We are now mosquito ninjas. Thinking of trying to get it to be a competitive sport. For sure this is where u could come to train.
