Hello Craig,Thank you for taking the time to review the Belmercer Motel, we appreciate all guest feedback.Inside the compendium in each room, there is a contact number for staff on duty after reception closes, had staff been made aware of an issue they would have attended your room to check and rectify the issue.Kind Regards

It was a great place, close to the beach/city, room was awesome. Reception lady was lovely, We just struggled to sleep from noise. The road out front never stopped. Being a saturday night probably didnt help. And we had a street facing room. Prehaps the rooms at the back were quiter.

In the future we suggest checking that the properties opening hours and check in terms and conditions are appropriate for your needs.Kind Regards

Reception and cleaning staff were excellent. The foxtel in room didnt work all the time, was unable to change channels quite often. The bathroom door was unable to be closed or.locked as it was not lined up properly and then came off runners when trying to align to close.

Staff were LOVELY. Not many clients but I was put at the front room facing busy road - opposite a motorbike shop that needs all its security lights on all night - venetian curtains that dont join and let lots of light in - loud. Plus 100 bins under my window for the bin truck to collect at 5am. NO SLEEP - on a business trip when I need sleep this was just not good.

Hello Belinda,Thank you for taking the time to review the Belmercer Motel, we appreciate all guest feedback.The Belmercer Motel notes that you booked a Spa Deluxe Queen Unit online via a third-party booking site, and as such these rooms are clearly depicted as being located at the front of building on Mercer Street. The Belmercer Motel feels we should mention that we have staff members check all rooms and all equipment and facilities are working in the rooms prior to guests checking in and once again when they depart and the venetian blinds in the room you stayed in, closed completely, so we are unsure why you state they didn’t join. Unfortunately, the Belmercer Motel cannot control the external lights from the street and from other businesses in the nearby area, however we do note that we have return customers who request these front facing rooms for each of their stays with us.Belmercer Motel also feels it is important to note that the lovely staff member who was on duty during your stay actually moved the four bins onto the opposite side of the driveway in front of the restaurant, as the bins belong to the restaurant so as the noise from the rubbish collection in the morning would not disturb any guests staying at the property.Kind Regards

Safe environment, but other guests easily heard from car park below . Internet didn’t work for password provided . Reported to staff mid afternoon but heard nothing back for duration of stay. Bathroom very generous size and clean . Room on the smaller side. Basic supplies provided which is fine but little pack of biscuits a bit stale . Fridge and microwave needs a good cleaning.
