We asked for extra biscuits for our cheese platter and told we had to pay extra plus another tray charge. Please ensure if you are going to give so much cheese you give sufficient biscuits to have the cheese to minimise watage. The lady on the phone was not accommodating at all

Worst hotel we have stayed in.

Our room stunk of urine coming from the bathroom, bathroom floor still had wet patches from cleaning but it stunk of urine. Guess someone had a pee in the shower and cleaner didn’t clean it properly. The room also looked dirty as there was a large stain on the carpet and the lounge chair had dirty marks all over it, I went down to reception to tell them but they could not move us as fully booked so they sent someone up with a bucket and mop to clean, which helped with the smell. Tried to turn air conditioning off as it was cold but it was stopping and starting all night causing us to keep waking up due to the noise and made us freeze. We thought if we stayed at a Mercure hotel it would be clean but no. Would not recommend staying here.

I've stayed here before and I knew how appropriate this hotel was for me. Staff 100%. Meal options excellent. WOTIF? Not so good. Two amounts were taken from my account. You can only contact Wotif by email or chat. Waiting time ok compared to banks and internet providers but the chat itself was disruptive. I had to upload proof of the double dipping to my bank account and the chat upload wouldn't accept the upload despite being around 186k. Very frustrating to the chat agent and myself. Several attempts over 15-20 minutes meant the chat dropped out due to my failed responses. I phoned Mercure who rightly said they couldn't assist but they only had one booking.

Was not given the type of room which I booked so very difficult for my husband with not having an accessible room with shower bench and hand rails. Sink in bathroom did not drain properly, leg/castor on bed was broken, stains on sheet and pillowcase and dust on surfaces. Have stayed here many times however, this time the room was less than satisfactory. For the cost per night I will look at alternative accommodation in the future.

Comfortable accom close to Hospital

Hotel is ideally located to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, within walking distance. I have stayed here over the past five years. Only disadvantage is the Restaurant is closed for lunch. However meals in the hotel restaurant at night have always been good. Thank you Chef James and staff. The rooms are quiet, and beds very comfortable. Staff are friendly and will do their best to fix any short comings. In this instance, there had been a water leak from the bathroom into the carpet area of the living room. Once I notified the staff, and went out, for medical appt, I returned to find a dryer fan was in place to reduce the water prob. No fuss, just immediate response to fix. See you again next appt time.
