i've never been able to find an empty lounger to sleep in. I like going to the Mercure. I can sleep, leave my stuff in the room, take a shower. It's relatively quiet. I tried going into Amsterdam, but I'm too old for that now. I need my rest, especially when I'm coming from an overnight flight and connecting to another overnight flight. I've never had a problem getting a room at the Mercure, just walking in.
