    The hotel is very outdated and not a true representation of the Mercure brand. The lift also broke down during our stay so lugging luggage and a pram down levels wasn't ideal.

    Booked a family room, had to move rooms shortly after check in due to the shower flooding. The new room provided wasn't cleaned properly and couldn't be re cleaned until the cleaners arrived the following day.

    Hotel facilities are good but I had a very unpleasant experience at this hotel, and I hope anyone considering a stay here will take note of this review. I did not request a room cleaning, but the hotel staff entered my room and took my entire bag of Lush bath bombs that were still in the paper bag without my permission. This paper bag was with my belongings, indicating that I did not treat it as garbage. Even for a routine cleanup, there was no reason to touch it and consider this bag as garbage to throw it away, especially since it contained heavy and unused bath bombs. When I raised the issue with the manager, there was no apology. Instead, I was told that the staff responsible for entering my room was not present, and I should wait until this staff was on duty the next day, and she told me that she could help me solve the problem next day at 5-6pm. I called again the next day at the agreed time and another manager took my call. Since I couldn't find the store and was hoping to get my lost items back, I was told that the employee who had entered my room was already off work today and we would have to wait until tomorrow. As we had to check out the next day, I didn’t have time to enjoy the bath bombs either. In the end, they apologized to me and negotiated that they would pay us $40 as compensation. This kind of behavior, throwing away a customer’s personal belongings without permission, should never happen in a hotel. Thankfully, I only lost my bath bombs this time. In the future, if they threw away my USB stick with my final year’s art portfolio for no reason and asked me to wait until the next day, I would immediately call the police.

    The hotel facilities are good.

    Room needed cleaning, dust under beds. Room had a single and double bed. Both were hard as boards and uncomfortable. Single bed was on wheels and moved whenever you got out of bed, one side actually lifted off the flooring. Pillows low standard of quality. Bathroom so so small. No microwave or toaster.

    Nothing.

    Absolutely no car parking facilities - we were told to park on the street and got a parking fine within 15mins of arriving.Asked if there were any carparks available and were told we could get one for $25 a day ! But had to wait 3 hours - the following day we went out and when we came back someone had parked in our park. They waived the carparking fee after we told them we got the fine. 5 carparks for the whole hotel, absolutely ridiculous. The aircon was set to 29 deg when we arrived so it took ages for the room to cool down. The balcony was locked so we couldn't utilise it at all. The room and the hallways smelt very musty and the lift was broken. There were an open packet of peanuts left within the mini bar and the fridge JUST kept the drinks cold. The price per night is not worth what you pay. Will not go back or recommend.

    The bed was comfortable and location was good. The bar staff and wait staff were excellent.

    Restaurant next door. Food was good but we were the only diners. Not sure if that was because of time 1900, or midweek Tues, or because they are not along the beachfront with all other restaurants.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was big and had everything you could want. Everything worked and was clean and tidy.
