Did an overnight here as part of a fairly quick tour on Hunter Valley. This is a nice property with full amenities. To be fair, we didn’t use many of the amenities. We booked simply because we could book just a Friday night vice the whole weekend (not via Accor, but instead through Expedia). For context, we traveled with two large suitcases for a several week trip Down Under. This shaped our view of room sizes and bathroom counter space. What we liked: - Large, clean, comfortable room. Plenty of room for our gear, and plenty of counter space. - Central location for Hunter Valley. Easy access to hundred plus wineries, adjacent to trendy shopping village and small amusement park. - The jetted tub. It’s an oversized bathtub for 1. Other notes: - There is not an in-room safe. - Plenty of parking, yet spots are quite narrow. - They offer rental bikes. We don't recommend it (theirs, or anyone's) since the ride to wineries is on the shoulder of a high speed highway. For us it was the ultimate dilemma of availability. Was this property worth $500 AUD a night? Generally, no. Yet it was a Friday night for 1 night and they were the only property playing ball. Our value number for the amenities and quality is closer to $300 AUD on a less demand night.

The staff at the Mercure was fabulous. We were treated to two nights with our relatives when visiting them in Australia. Overall things appeared in good order;the pool, spa, sauna room, recreation are (one of our favorites), library, grounds and rooms. As with any large complex little things needed attention but really did not impact our stay. Rooms were clean and bedding, towels, water pressure etc were good. There were plenty of parking spaces, convention rooms and conference centers to accommodate any type of wedding or business meetings.

Stayed for 2 nights room was nice with nice courtyard there was no heating in room A/C was only cold air bed was ok bathroom was ok little dates. As platinum members we got a welcome pack of one bottle of wine but welcome drink was only basic drinks, we had breakfast included which was ok but nothing special with most hot food barley warm and some cold, location was great for all vineyards. We did book through Accor and when booked imediatley recieved a phone call from property to inform us that they had no rooms available even though it did show availabity on web site they asked if we could cancel which we refused so not sure what was the problem. We felt that the they were a little short staffed.
