Needs attention

Don A. Couples - 14/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Having been a frequent guest at the "old" Madison Motel I chose to stay at this site again as we had tiling being completed at our house and needed bed for a couple of nights. On entering the building from the back car-park I was alarmed at the condition of the carpet on the floors and stairs. On entering our room, 212, the first thing that I encountered was concrete cancer near the light switch, which looked like it had been generated from the bathroom behind, which to my eye looked like a potential electrocution problem. There was a plastic cover, possibly a shower cap, covering the smoke alarm, which I guess was someone trying to smoke in the room without detection. The room was tired and unwelcoming and the bed was old and needed replacement. There were many more faults which I have not elaborated on, needless to say we did not stay the second night at went to the Apollo Motel nearby, which was far superior for the same room rate. If you want to keep the standards that I am sure Mercure would expect, these faults should be fixed immediately before there is a death or you lose all of your customers due to lack of recommendation our bad reports.

Dear Don A., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Charlestown. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the issues mentioned and prevent future occurrence. We have undergone refurbishment in many areas and with refurbishment still ongoing we look forward to sharing the end results with our guests. The majority of our Standard queen rooms have already been updated as have our standard kings however it is a long process and we still have some to do. Our hallway carpets were done a few years get ago and get a lot of traffic so we carpet clean them regularly and i will be sure we attend to them and the other issues mentioned this week. Please always feel free to contact reception during your stay should you have any issues and we will promptly assist to ensure you have a great stay. 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, Vanessa.

Very good ,comfortable

Anonymous Business - 23/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were friendly and helpful but the room was a little disappointing. We had one normal size towel that had stains on (looked like old dye stains) and a very small towel so requested more. The shower head is positioned in a way where the entire bathroom floor is covered in water and you need a towel to mop it all up. The blanket in the cupboard has someone’s hair attached to it so we didn’t use it. The beds were comfortable.

Friendly service.

Bec Solo - 10/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Booked a room with a bath. Pics made the bathroom look huge, particularly the bath. Was disappointed when saw real life size. The 5G tower being so close was also was a concern for me. Noise from other rooms/hallway is quite loud, as was the fridge. Cant say i felt like i 'got away' and fully relaxed in a nice bath. Did feel a bit ripped off for the price. Sorry.

Stop over on a long trip. Late checkin went smoothly. The late check in went smoothly.Staff very helpful, both in the booking/rebooking and rebooking (Covid!) process and also when we arrived snd departed.

Always great

karenelizabethwaters 06/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

We continue to return to the Mercure Charlestown as we always enjoy our stay. The staff is excellent, the room always spotlessly clean. Check in is simple and fast as we are now so well known. The room we always take is very quiet.
