The motel was at about 10% capacity and they a. Put us in a room with a disabled bathroom… water went everywhere b. It was an interconnecting room with a young family with unsettled children… no fault of the family, we have all been there, but the noise came straight through the interconnecting door

Good stay but poor surprise on arrival

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

gdfree1 18/07/2021 TripAdvisor review

Had a good 2 night stay, but upon arriving we were told the restaurant was shut. Your website made no mention of this and the reception or manager at the hotel gave us no prior warning. The reason we stayed there was to got to the restaurant both nights on our 2 night stay as the restaurant has an excellent chef.

Thank you Graham for your feedback. I am delighted you had a lovely stay. I am very sorry you were not informed about the restaurant closing prior to your arrival. The team were making many phone calls when we made this difficult decision and I apologise that you were missed. I would be delighted to welcome you back when you next travel to the hunter when things are back to normal so we can have you back in our restaurant and make up for this shortcoming. Please feel free to reach out to me directly when you next travel. jpettit@mrhvg.com.au Kind regards Julie @ Mercure

Stayed in Feb it was amazing however this trip was very disappointing. We just wanted to eat dinner at elements and relax around the fire. I fully understand why the restaurant isn't open at this time. We collected drinks at 4pm and I said to Karen I was hoping the fire would be on. She said it's too early for that. We sat there until 520 still no fire. Another guest asked if the fire was on when checking in and she said I haven't gotten around to it yet. We asked for plate for our room and I stated the above about relaxing around the fire and Karen didn't respond so after asking this second time We went back to our room. At breakfast we looked and the fire place was set up exactly the same as the afternoon before so it obviously wasn't lit at all. We are shift workers so the little things are important when our rosters align and we get time off together. Probably doesn't sound like a big deal to some but our expectation was to stay again in winter and relax watching the beautiful fire. It's not that hard to light. I would if thought that 1 of the 3 staff on could have achieved this.

Dear Julie, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Sometimes its the small things that really make a stay too so I completely understand and apologise for this. Karen is normally all over the fireplace given how lovely that room is with it lit. Very sorry. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. Also we have not been handing out our room service menu but it is on our app compendium for your viewing, I will remind the team, particularly in this difficult times to communicate that. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Please feel free to reach out to me directly next time so I can personally assist you. Sincerely, Julie Pettit General Manager Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens

Pleasant but somewhat disappointing

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Katy S. Families - 15/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Booked 2 nights for myself and 2 children. Staff were friendly and grounds lovely with handy location to gardens. I booked the king suite as it was the only room with a kitchenette. Other than the microwave, there was no where to cook. Only one bowl provided. I asked the staff for extra but was not provided. Very small amount of kindling provided for fire and asked twice for additional before it was provided. Additional charge for linen for sofa bed was unexpected as not noted on the website or the reservation. It stated that linen was provided, not that there were additional costs for another set of linen. For a booking of 3 people, this should have been specified. Terrible smell in the room which seemed to have originated in the wardrobe and permeated through whole room. Smelled like a dead animal. Notified reception but had to remind them again to do something about it. Would have asked for a room move but were only there for one more night. Came back to room and air freshener had been sprayed but unsure if anything else had been done as under lying smell still present. Asked at reception, but they were unsure what if anything had been done due to change in shift. Was advised by housekeeping that there had been a mouse plague and it was likely that one or more had died on the room. She made comment that this was likely the cause when she came in even after having all windows and doors open to air out the room. Staff were nonchalant about my complaints in regards to this. Considering the cost of the accomodation I feel more should have been done.

Central and near great wineries, golf courses and restaurants

Wining and Dining in the Hunter

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Col J 11/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

Mecure Resort Valley Gardens although starting to show its age a bit is a straight forward studio style roomed hotel with drive up access to your room. The location is what gives this hotel its advantage by being central to a large number of wineries and restaurant's all within easy walking distance, when visiting wine country this removes the worry of driving, the hotel is even serviced by one of the popular gastro pubs courtesy bus. If simple clean accommodation with all the amenities is what you want in the Hunter then the Mecure Hunter Valley Gardens fits the bill. Just hope you get a room with an upgraded bed mattress as the old one we had was very hard/lumpy resulting in the last two nights being spent on the sofa bed as it was more supportive.

Dear Col, Thank you very much for your detailed review of your recent stay with us. Delighted to hear that you enjoyed our centrally located hotel and its convenience when visiting this beautiful part of the world. I am however terribly sorry to hear about the quality of the mattress and disappointed that my team was not able to offer you another room to stay in after an uncomfortable night on that mattress. We are in the process of getting all our mattresses replaced so I trust you will get to enjoy a good night sleep on what feels like a cloud, on your next stay with us.
