Mercure Rimini Lungomare

Positive Staff attitude

Would have liked a pool/sauna/fitness

Hotel is new and that was nice, also my decent sized room had a nice partial ocean view with a balcony with table and chairs. Location of hotel was great. 30% discount for beach equipment at beach was nice. Free internet, free garage parking, free breakfast and I think some free afternoon apertifs but I wasn't totally sure and that leads me to my one complaint -- staff told me nothing unless I specifically asked (see additional comments).

Staff were friendly but not very helpful. They did not tell me about any of the hotel amenities or local attractions unless I specifically asked and there was no information listed in the room booklet except the prices for drycleaning and a few other useless tidbits. Also, on my last day, I went down to the beach that morning and even though I came back over an hour before checkout time they had cancelled my room key and I had to get the maid to let me in my room. I will chalk it up to the inexperience factor. Other than that it was a great hotel at a decent price for the area.

The hotel was very close to the beach and not far from the old center of Rimini. Lot of restaurants in the area.
