Mercure Rockhampton

I really enjoyed my visit here. I came for a week trip and was happy with my stay. The staff were nice and checked in on me to ask when I was arriving as I came at night. The check in process was simple and easy. Although I will note that the reception area's ground floor had a very strong laundry and chemical smell to it. It was not bad but it was a little unpleasant. Nevertheless, the rooms were good for the price. Had a couple of interesting things such as a manual AC dial which I have never seen. I was also not a fan of the lighting layout and the popcorn ceiling. There were some basics in the room but I didn't use any. The bed was ok and didn't feel bad. The shower pressure and head could have been a little bit better. The room also had huge sliding doors which I always love to get some fresh air and sun in. There was also a really nice view out of the city. Overall pretty good value and can't complain.

Decided to indulge in a 2 night stay, room was comfy and clean and for the price it would’ve been nice to have some complimentary water in the room. No notice given that the Pool would be closed for renovation until you checked in and saw a sign advising you. Stairs to restaurant closed so had to go outside in the rain to go through to the front entry door. Staff excellent.

It is ok. Great snacks available at the front counter. Shower cold and never gets hot. Reported the issue, not resolved. Same issue on check in and then really early the next day. A hot bath is an essential. The hotel doors all close so loudly you are awaken at all hours. Room absolutely freezing. Aircon did not seem to do anything. Love that the rooms have a bath. A bath is why I booked here in this older hotel and then the water was almost cold for both of my baths. These issues are fixable.
