Really disappointing stay at the Mercure. I have stayed there three times in the past six months, this was by far the worst and I will choose another option in the future. The room was smelly, it was musty when we arrived, there was no option to open the only window to get any fresh air. The skirting boards were damaged and coming off from the wall near the bathroom, making me question if there was a mould issue. The bathroom had a very bad odour coming from I assume the drains. We closed the bathroom door overnight but it was extremely unpleasant to shower in. The shower grout had mould. We arrived late at night and were checking out before 7am so it was not worth raising these issues to swap room at that point of the night. The grounds are beautiful but the rooms leave a lot to be desired.

Only thing i did not like was the amount of outside lighting and not having the option to turn it off. I need a dark room to sleep and the room was far too bright of a night.

Not happy.

We had a room for 3 adults. Room was not clean. TV only hade 3 Chanel’s, unable to chrome cast due to no internet connection. Spoke to reception who came to the room to say they only have Chanel 7, ABC and SBS. Blamed it in the renovations, which were not mentioned when we booked. The Breakfast was sub standard, soggy hash browns, cold bacon and eggs. Not happy with this place as we paid a lot for only 1 night.

A beautiful property that is clearly under going renovation and refresh. Furniture and fittings in the room are showing signs of age, general cleanliness was good however the bathroom could do with a good clean paying attention to the grouted areas and shower screen which need a good scrub to remove built up dirt and grime.
