The hotel is right by a stunning lake and is also close to a shopping centre. The breakfast and bistro areas are pretty good, with delicious food. The rooms are clean and the balconies offer a lovely view of the lake. The only thing I didn’t love was the mattress—it was a bit firm and not the most comfortable. Also, the frosted lights in the bathroom can sometimes shine into the bedroom, which might wake up other guests. They do have an indoor pool and gym. The lift to the apartments is a bit old, but we didn’t mind. The free car parking is easy to find and use. I also thought walking around the lake was pretty good. They also offer you a selection of pillows that you can pick for your stay which is a nice touch.
I chose the Mercure brand as the name has a good reputation. I chose Mercure North Melbourne as it was very convenient to where I had meetings to attend over a two day period. Though I felt safe and comfortable in the hotel, I did think the hotel was quite ‘tired and tardy’’ looking. I would suggest it needs an overhaul - a ‘facelift’ and a total refurbishment to raise its standard.
