The Hunter Valley Mercure is a nice hotel. The rooms are clean and beds are comfy. The hotel has a nice pool and hot tub. The service on the other hand is less than desirable. Our room was not made over a 2 day stay and the only thing reception said was "there was a lot of check-out this morning, and it must has been missed" They did offer to do it now but didn't really insist when I said it'll be fine. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and the quality was good enough, but once again the service was quite poor. The dining room was freezing due to poor A/C management (I guess) and when asked if we could eat outside the waitstaff didn't object but we had to ask for cutlery (as these were already set on all tables but not outside) and they didn't come to clean the dirty outside table fully aware of the table cleanliness (or lack of I should say) having brought the said cutlery. We can recommend the place but hopefully we get more professional staff during your stay.

Well located for our needs. The staff were friendly especially Geoff the young barman, waiter and everything in between. He was always smiling and went out of his way to accommodate us. The Resturant was lovely and food delicious. Some evening entertainment like a musician and the candles lit in the library would showcase this hotel. Will definitely return.

The place was nice but I had to check out and return home after just one night as my mother was rushed to hospital and is now in Woy Woy Rehabilitation Centre... I know you have rules regarding refunds and I didn't ask for a refund but the lady at desk made it clear I wasn't getting one. I was disappointed they couldn't at least have given a days refund or something. On that basis, I'll never go there again nor recommend it. Regards Nigel Davis 0433665501

Just needed a room for the night for an event the following morning but we were pleasantly surprised. Games room (free) and swimming pool and the Bistro meant it was easy for the little one with us but it was in walking distance to the HV shops too. Great central location and facilities, friendly staff.

Got to our first room and the wall was covered in bugs, but luckily there is complementary bug spray with the room, which was no help. The aircon was also not working. We moved to another room, which had a large huntsman on the door, which understandably cannot be controlled, however when entering the room the walls were covered with mosquitoes and bugs and we were greeted with a spider in the bed. Really disappointed and ended up leaving for another hotel.

We were having a celebratory dinner at a vinyard in the Hunter Valley. Mercure provided a perfect central location to stop. Beautiful surroundings, even if it was raining, covered walkways and an evening fire in a cosy lounge.
