Property: Mercure Milan Solari
Status: Accor+ Explorer Platinum
Room booked: Standard
Room upgraded/type: Nil ... or may have
Rate: Very high (Fashion week of some sort in Milan - everywhere was astronomical)
Early check in/late out: N/A
Free internet: Yes
Free breakfast: No
Welcome drink: No
Welcome amenity: None
Recommend: No; run a mile
A shocker.
There are unavoidable 5 stairs into and out of the hotel.
On check-in, met by some slouching, couldn't-give-a-toss guy. No Plat recognition (in any form, at any time). Ignored my prior-e-mailed preferred room request (ie put right next to the lift) - may move me tomorrow.
Aircon on heat until 26 April. Room very hot! (they graciously turned the heating off, but of course the whole building was a heat block). Doona only (fortunately I being my own sheet for just these occasions).
Mouldy shower. Single soap/shampoo product; no shower-mat. No glassware; paper ups.
I got moved the second night to what seems a 'better' room. Actually TWO shower products - soap and shampoo (same??); bathmat (swoon!), glassware and less mould in the shower.
Entry to hotel, with steps (the ramp only goes half way
); the lift!
First room
Second room, with luxury amenities!
