After three years of going to the Mercure 3-5 times a year I finally met a grouchy desk person. Who didnt understand I couldnt get your new onlne site to work so I used expedia. This ruffled her feathers. So they gave me the kingbed Rm 410 with the heate system kicking on every hour. I lost my card for 2024 or never got it and I was promoted to Gold when booking into Accor's Surfers Hotel 4 weeks before. After 18 years (with a short divorce break) of staying in ACCOR Hotels across NSW ACT and Qld I had a person question my Gold membership. Yet when I stayed at the Fairmont in Katoomba, Serena at the desk downloaded the APP for ACCor on My phone. Showing my Gold Status. I was humbly perplexed by the receptionist at Mercure Canberra. Oh well bad day, I guess. Walter

The property was well placed, close to the Canberra Plaza and the War Memorial. The hotel could do with an upgrade; however the room was clean, the bed comfy. I would stay there again.

Beautiful heritage property but a bit of a maze
The TV in our room didn't work (reported to reception on checking out - didn't realise it wasn't working until 9pm). Trying to find our room from the secure carpark, even with map in hand, was a challenge. We were only there one night but our room was upstairs in an area without lift access. If it was a longer stay it wouldn't bother me, but dragging bags up one afternoon and back down the next morning isn't a great experience. Breakfast was included in our stay but the breakfast room was very crowded.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
King sized bed was unfortunately not fit for royalty, very hard and difficult to sleep in. Housekeeping staff were wonderful although I feel like bathrooms don't get cleaned as well as they should (pink mold in grout in shower). In saying that, room was always tidied with fresh towels upon return, and without any issues. All housekeeping staff I encountered in the hallways were very polite. Biggest gripe was that the parking code was changed and I was not notified which was annoying suprise at 11:30pm. Still, very convenient location, parking (with the right code) is plentiful, easy, and secure, and aside from someone's small yappy dog the first night, very quiet.
