    Location, our room was next to street, out of 5 nights 3 nights couldn’t sleep due to people shouting outside in the middle of night and people living upstairs banging on floor at 11pm every single night, basically thin walls and no noise barriers. Not restaurant , no breakfast on site, had to go out or buy .

    Family room , it was good to have separate room for our kids but still with us

    Not a lot of room to get into the bathroom. Found it quite difficult to close the door. Floor in the room could've been cleaned more by the time we left it was quite dirty. Mini bar items could've been less so as you could fit other items in their, no space in the door of the fridge to store milk etc. Would've been lovely to have had a drink beside the pool but was closed due to no fault of their own.

    Very close to the cbd and esplanade. Reception staff were lovely. Pool area was great.Room was good. Beds very comfortable.

    Restaurant closed. Car park closed. Only informed of the above after it was too late to cancel. Single glazed windows meant lots of traffic noise from the busy street. Rooms were a bit tired and dated.

    Nothing in particular

    I had chosen a hotel, I as I would be on my own for some of my stay, that had a restaurant for breakfast and dinner. I was disappointed that the restaurant was closed. Also the lack of onsite parking was annoying

    The room was clean beds comfortable

    The bathroom air vent was very dusty. I couldn't work out the TV remote very well and there were no instructions that I could find.

    Bed was comfortable and linen was very nice. I liked that there was a couch to sit on also. The bathroom was in very good condition.

    Needs a face-lift, bit outdated, but seems it’s happening as the restaurant was closed for reno. Breakfast was served in Novotel, very close, across the road.

    Good location, very friendly staff. Family room is a great offer.

    The compromise on price and location was to give up a view - there was none - in fact the lower half was a wall of the neighbouring business.

    I chose the Mercure as a place that could provide a 2 bedroom place with kitchenette at a reasonable price and good location close to the shops/cafes/waterfront/marina. It met my requirements in all of that. The 2-bedroom layout suited us - kids and kitchenette in one and adults and bathroom in the other, and there was enough space so we didn’t feel crammed in (like often happens in family rooms).

    Bathroom was little tight to get into going to shower or toilet the way door opened but was ok. Little noise from hallway and when next room had water on. Restauarant was not open due to renovations. Had to go buy food already prepared as nothing to cook on or microwave.

    Room was clean , front desk was friendly and could check in a bit early. Bed was comfy and soft. Located next to Aquarium was short walk to main street for food. Stayed 1 night only before catching plane .Good tea and coffee milk supplied. Good room to reat in , big tv nice couches .Mini bar also.
