Welcome gift: The welcome note in my room said enjoy the macaroons but sitting there was only a little pot of apricot jam. Somewhat bizarre.

Property: Mercure Strasbourg Centre Petit France
Status: Accor+ Platinum
Room booked: Classic room, double bed
Room upgraded/type: Yes, larger room (and worth it - the standard rooms are tiny)
Rate: $400/night, members flex
Free internet: Yes
Free Breakfast: No
Early check in/late out: I didn't pre request early check in, but not available - room not ready. Wasn't ready to 3pm (normal check in time)
Welcome drink: No
Welcome gift: More bizarreness. Welcome gift was a 500g packet of Christmas-themed pasta.
Recommended. Was OK; very expensive for what it was, but a flex rate and Christmas. Well located abt 10min walk with bags from the station.

Again, an OK place (Mercure). Cleaning was clearly under-staffed. On my floor, cleaners stuff all over the place for most of the day.

Room was quiet, in spite of being on the (pedestrianised) street - two sets of double-glazed windows.
