Mercure Gold Coast Resort

It’s been a while since I have been compelled to write a review for a hotel but the severe lack of customer services and extremely poor experience at this hotel left me feeling like it was a duty of community service. If you hadn’t already guessed the one poor and unhelpful ‘service’ is a particular notable. The resort is tired and the rooms are dated.. Sound travels through the rooms and we could hear both our neighbours TV and the footsteps above (ahhh the serenity). There are works going on that make it feel like a getaway on a construction site. There are no elevators to the rooms, just stairs. Oh and don’t think that while in holidays you might get a drink at the bar past 8:30pm… It will be closed (despite the hotel evidently being full… see below). Perhaps this could have been overlooked (perhaps!) Had it it been for the fact that despite being assured there was ample parking due to accessibility concerns, tired and ready for bed we arrived back to the hotel to find all the parking was indeed taken and there was no solution offered by staff. We eventually found a park, walked a reasonable distance to our room only to find the keys had not been programmed properly. Oh and upon taking the keys back to reception to tell them this the response was, underwhelming. There’s so many options on the Gold Coast I couldn’t possibly recommend this one.

Seriously believed I was paying for a 1 bedroom apartment but it was an open room with 2 beds.

Very positive experience with great service at reception, at the bar and at the restaurant.

For a golfer, the Mercure is well situated and valued fairly. Shame there are not Golf "Packages" and lifts in accommodation blocks.

Very welcoming by Front Desk at check in, set the tone for a great stay
