“Mercure Townsville”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Mercure Townsville has a great pool area, however the quality of restaurant and bar was most disappointing. Not close to the main centre of Townsville and can get expansive travelling in Taxi's all the time.

Dear JessJ0sh,

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Townsville. At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us.

It comes to me of great surprise that the restaurant and bar was a let down during your stay. Celsius is popular both among guests and locals alike. Further, we are located just 3 kilometers from the town CBD and less than 2 kilometers from the airport.

We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Peter Richardson
General Manager

5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

There was a little delay on checkout due to 50% discount not being applied to our dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Very much appreciated the upgrade. Not many deck chairs arount the pool area. Staff friendly and professional. Very happy with our stay. Would definetley come back again.

“Good location but poor quality and cleanliness”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

It was a quick check-in at reception.
We have used our first free stay from Accor Advantage Plus and got a standard room.
We found out the floor in the room was dirty and the bathroom was moldy and spider webs on the wall.
After we told the receptionist, they have upgraded the room and offered drink vouchers.
However, the superior room floor was dirty too.
There was no cold water from the water tap.
When taking shower it made a very loud noise and the air conditioning was leaking as well.

“November stay at Mercure Townsville”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Our stay at the Mercure in Townsville was quite comfortable. The room was neat and clean. The only reason that I have marked the service down a little was due to the length of time that it took to be served and I believe that it was more lack of staff than staff not working properly. The staff were all very friendly, approachable & knowledgeable.
The location overlooking the lake in great. We would be happy to stay again.
