Understaffed and overpriced

The site us having renovations done, but that was not an issue. The service from the shuttle bus which is dirty, to check in which is tardy, to the standard of the room booked, the place is a mess. The walkway to my original room had overflowing rubbish bin and laundry bins on the walkway, the room was truly awful; door with chipped paint and dirty, carpet dirty, walls with marks on them. I complained and was given an upgrade, but from arrival to the other room took 1.5 hours. Next morning, couldn't even get a coffee as there are not enough staff; I was the only person who had to leave without breakfast.- Mercure - never again.

Worst arrival experience of my life

Check in was absolutely appalling. Starting with arrival - hotel co-located with the Novotel but there is nothing in prearrival information to explain that. This is an airport hotel so I had to walk (with all my bags). There’s no arrival shuttle - & too close (700m) for a taxi. All signage states Novotel, and google maps not aware - I walked a mile past the hotel until I finally walked back to ask at the Novotel. On returning to the Novotel, the desk was completely overwhelmed; with around 40 people ahead of me. At this point I still thought I was just there to ask directions - and had to wait in line over 30 mins. Only two other hotel guests were ahead of me. The rest were clearly there to use the pool, something that they must rent out to locals for extra money. These people took a long time to “check in” though. They need a separate line for guests - exhausted people WITH BAGGAGE - and a streamlined process for pool users. When I finally got my turn the check in man explained that this was (despite all signage) also the check-in for Marriott. A small mercy I suppose - although I still had to walk a way through the Novotel complex to get there. This staff member was worse than indifferent to my concern about the misleading signage and my long detour. He rolled his eyes and said “I get complaints about that every day, and nothing changes. No apology or commiserations. A horrible start to an otherwise ok stay

The room was a bit tired but very spacious. Staff are great. The reception is at the Novotel not the Mercure which is not advertised and did cause some confusion for us and others.

Good hotel for those needing an airport hotel.

The hotel is in a complex of various brands - Ibis, Mercure and another. The pools are beautiful. I liked the adults only pool as well. The rooms were clean - but I couldn’t turn off the overhead fan - which wasn’t too bad as it was hot. But the room door was full of mould. I appreciate with the weather up there it’s very hard to stop this. It reminds me of a Fijian Resort. Right beside the airport - easy to walk - literally on the other side of the car park. But there is a shuttle service also.

Disappointing

I was put into a disabled person room where the aircon wasn't working properly, so we were hot all night and the bathroom vanity light wasn't working either. The room was so bright from the breezeway light being on that I couldn't sleep properly, kept waking up thinking I had slept in. The Mecure pool is in need of some major maintenance, and the new big pool had lots of bugs floating in it, and closed at 7pm. I have stayed at the Mecure many times and generally always been happy with the service
