A really good stay

I could have easily added a few extra days on to my stay at this hotel. It was ideally located, the room well appointed. The staff were attentive, although i did feel some of the more newer staff could have done with more training., otherwise, it was a perfect stay...

A great place to stay in Alice Springs

Mercure Resort was a lovely place to stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The reception staff went out of their way to be helpful. The resort is an easy walk to town. The WiFi was spotty at times. And I wish the food offerings at breakfast were hotter. But I would definitely recommend this resort.

Pleasant hotel. Our room was large and the bed was very comfortable. Nice pool. Everywhere in the hotel was quiet as it was their low season. Restaurant food for breakfast and evening meal was mixed standard. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were advised not to wander around Alice Springs in the evening.

I couldn't fault the staff, they were all friendly and helpful. However, there were a few negative points: The chairs in the dining room needed a good clean. The glass fencing around the pool were smeary and needed cleaning. The rubbish bin by the pool wasn't emptied for at least a couple of days. Alice Springs itself did not feel safe at all, even during the day, so we did not venture out in the evening - I realise this is no fault of the hotel but it would have been nice if we were warned about this when checking in. Finally, about a month before we were due to arrive our flight got changed which meant we wouldn't arrive until a day later. Despite contacting the hotel they wouldn't refund for the first day and didn't even offer a room upgrade. It is a shame about these points, as it wouldn't take much effort to bring it round. But instead it just felt a little tired and neglected.
