Mercure Center Louise

This hotel (now a Mercure, formerly a Holiday Inn) had been a reliable standby for me for Brussels for while, in the Louise area.
But somehow the re-​branding and «refurbishment» have produced the wrong results:
1. The air conditioning is now problematic — although there are still individual controls in the rooms, the guest now have to ask the front desk to change the settings ?!? — not something I’ve ever encountered before
2. The replacement of CRT with flat-​panel TVs and «matching furniture» has produced an odd, highly asymetric look to the rooms
3. In my case there was a broadband fault, which the night staff were spectacularly unable to resolve.
So I won’t be going back — it’s not as if there’s a shortage of options in Brussels …
