If upgrades are generous, then I am more likely to come back for longer stays.

Coincidentally, I have Mercure 11 on my upcoming list so I will report back and compare with Mercure 24. Somehow it does not disturb me as much if the Accor Plus dining discount is unusable because the hotel does not manage the restaurant, rather than because they decide to keep it closed (and deny the discount on room service because the kitchen is open!) like Mercure 24 does.
