Rustic hotel but lovely staff and nice rooms

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Kerry M Families - TripAdvisor review

Ok we weren’t expecting much given the reviews but it really wasn’t that bad. Rooms ok, clean, ours had a coffee machine, fridge, quiet air con, big tv, lots of movies and foxtel. Standard rooms at the front (seemed to have a lick of paint and much better than described on these reviews!), deluxe at the back (smaller but a tiny bit more modern). Shared areas need a bit of TLC/maintenance such as the ignored gardens and walkways (lots of bugs in the shared walkways by the standard rooms at the front). Swimming pool only had 2 sun loungers so could do with more….Bit of a squash and a squeeze by the pool as there isn’t much lounging room. No gym as undergoing maintenance (for ages now). No water in the rooms but you can grab bottles from the restaurant which is easy to do. Staff happy to accommodate and were all lovely. The Groupon deal was great, bottle of wine and cheese platter. Breakfast good and we only ate dinner once which was fine (with a 25% voucher off thanks to Groupon!). All in all was a pleasant stay. I wouldn’t book more than 2 nights unless you’re using this as a base to explore/hike. There really aren’t any areas at the hotel to relax unless in the pool or restaurant. Overall though I’d be happy to stay again, it’s a bit rustic but it is up in the mountain. Don’t be put off by some of the reviews, it’s really not that bad!

Peaceful and Relaxing

We had a two night dinner package through Luxury Escapes which proved excellent value for money. Our room was clean and spacious with tree top views to Lake Samsonvale and Deception Bay. Could not fault the staff who were friendly and helpful. The restaurant served high quality food and more amazing views of Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Glasshouse Mountains. Buffet breakfast on the restaurant balcony was a special experience. While we were very happy with our experience, the Lodge is showing its age and lacks some of the facilities that might be needed by those with mobility issues, e.g. there is no lift and it's built over several levels on the side of the mountain. Also, the restaurant is accessed via stairs or a longish walk through the lobby. There is no room service and except for tea and coffee making facilities, rooms do not have a minibar. Nor does the Lodge offer a transfer service so getting there from the airport involves hiring a car or taking a taxi/rideshare costing around $120. There are no alternatives to the restaurant wiithin walking distance so you need to have a car or pay for a taxi or rideshare if looking to eat elsewhere. These issues aside we can highly recommend the Lodge if you're looking for somewhere to switch off and relax. Yes, it's on the rustic side but that just adds to the experience.

Disappointment

We trusted in the Mercure brand. What a mistake. This is a (former) motel(!) built probably in the 1970s or 1980s clinging to the ledge of a hill or mountain. It has been prettied up .. to a point, except for the very portion of the complex WE stayed in. Mould in the bathroom, patchy carpets, shortage of power points, dead insects and cobwebs near the entrance to our room, some garbage thrown out of windows into the adjacent forest, difficult access for those with heaps of bags = either stairs up and down OR quasi underneath the building over an uneven surface with NO(!) lights at all. Restaurant overpriced & of poor quality catering to those with an inverse ratio between teeth and tattoos. We booked for 3 nights, wanted to leave after 1 night, were told 'no refund' if we left after 1 night but leaving after 2 nights was okay .. and were indeed refunded that 1 night we did not stay. There ARE better.

Outdated and ordinary

Lee F TripAdvisor review

Terrible. Bought a GROUPON voucher. Room ordinary; no mini bar, no bottled water, no exhaust fan in bathroom and dim light. No other mirrors apart from bathroom, no fly screen on bathroom window. Our room was next to a family so crying baby till midnight, woken by crying kid at 2am. Considered getting in the car and going home. Restaurant ordinary and over priced. $40 steak was ordinary and not tender. Barramundi ok but soaked in tomato passatta. Needs an update definately .

Friendly staff, great views but overpriced.

Great views from our balcony and especially from the deck at the restaurant and bar. Room clean and tidy but small. Staff friendly but a little slow to clear tables. Dinner was excellent and was the standout of our 1 night stay however breakfast buffet was average and way overpriced.
