Mercure Clear Mountain Lodge 4 étoiles

This place is totally unsuitable for wheelchair or any person with a disability. On booking this accommodation we were told it’s wheelchair friendly. On arrival we check out the room & unless u r an moutain goat it’s totally unsafe for wheelchairs. It needs some serious cash to get it back to the photos they post. We didn’t stay found alternative accommodation at the Quest motel.

A true luxury resort with spectacular views from top of the mountain location. All staff extremely friendly and helpful. Pre dinner drink by the fire was relaxing and enjoyable. Updated room with balcony looking out towards Lake Samsonvale very comfortable. Special mention to Karena for her kind & cheerful assistance. Highly recommended. Had a most enjoyable day exploring Dayboro, and another at Samford.

We stayed at Clear Mountain for three nights in a superior room. The room was clean, beds comfortable, with a pleasant view. The bathroom was a bit peculiar though, with very little room for cosmetics and toiletries. Shower was good though. The staff everywhere are really pleasant and helpful. Parking is a bit of a hassle in that there are stairs up from one of the parking lots which makes lugging heavy bags up to reception a nuisance. Likewise there are no lifts in the hotel. We were on the second floor (I think there are three floors) so again a lift or staff to help getting bags up and down stairs would have been appreciated, particularly for oldsters like us. The resort does need a facelift in parts, some of the older chairs and tables in the dining room should have been replaced long ago. The restaurant was a bitter disappointment. The menu is very limited, with such offerings as Chicken Maryland, the usual pork belly and the ubiquitous salmon. The prices, however, do not reflect such humble offerings. We had pork ragu which was tasty, but priced at $38, which I thought was a bit high. Steak was $52. The vegetarian option was pumpkin, a bit tarted up but still pumpkin. Far better to travel to Samford Village. The hotel there serves pub food which is typically pub food which was tasty, unpretentious and a whole lot cheaper. The pub is huge, but the eating areas are separated so it doesn’t feel ‘barn like’. It may be that the resort is having an issue hiring chefs and kitchen staff as this seems to be the case everywhere post covid, but the restaurant does need to lift its game regarding the paucity, cost and quality of menu items. Breakfast at the resort was fine, with the usual fare on offer. Breakfast finishes at 9, a bit early for retirees (and late sleepers) like us!😀. Despite my criticisms we would return for the views, the relaxing vibe, and the beautiful surrounding area. The real winners in this resort are its position, views and the friendliness of it’s staff.

L'hôtel est très beau, spacieux et propre. Il offre de nombreuses facilités (tennis, spa, restauration...) Notre chambre était grande avec une vue magnifique sur le lac L'allure générale est moderne Petit frigo à disposition, wifi (bon débit), tv (petite) Le matelas était confortable, mais trop mou à notre goût Les points négatifs: - l'insonorisation est légère, nous avons entendu tous nos voisins tirer leur chasse d'eau le matin ou relever leur store - débit de l'eau de la douche plutôt léger - les stores contre la lumière ne servent à rien, si vous voulez faire la grasse matinée c'est raté, on est en plein jour!

Nous avons eu la bonne surprise d'être surclassés en chambre sup avec spa. Gde chambre avec balcon donnant sur la nature.Restaurant délicieux et abordable.Magnifique vues sur Brisbane.Un peu difficile à trouver.
