Mercure Albury: good location and friendly staff
 

Location The hotel is located just 5 mins to downtown Albury. Parking is complimentary and ample F&B outlets around to select from. Check In Arrived late in the afternoon, and there was no one at the Front desk, so I was checked in within mins and off to my room. As a Classic member, did not expect anything which was what I got. Room Assigned a corner room (opposite to the housekeeping office and the lifts). Room was of decent size. The room was not the most modern room and did show it, but everything worked ok.They had both tea/coffee making facilities and the afamous bread toaster available together with a minibar (stocked). Internet was fast and stable - though take a good note of the password as I believe a lot of people gives it a quick glance and think that they had it right. It comes down to how Mercure is spelt. Bathroom was of decent size with a walk in shower. Water temperature and pressure was good. They had the usual Mercure toiletries.Other than that, everything was in order and clean. Bed was just right for my preference and had a good night sleep. Climate control was good and worked fine.The only small complain is that in the morning, because the room was opposite the housekeeping office, it does get a bit noisy as the come in to start their day. Not a major problem but could be if you want to sleep longer and is sensitive for noise. Overall Since I did not use any other facilities and this was just a 1 night stay, not much can be commented. All in all, this seems to be one of the better hotels in the city which is decent and reasonably priced. I believe this property used to the be Comfort Inn (or Quality Inn) hotel as they still had some items with the branding.
