Mercure Albury

For our drive from Melbourne to Sydney, we stayed in Albury to break up the drive. Albury is a small town with not much happening. The hotel was fine, nothing too great and nothing bad. If I had to come through this way again, I would consider staying.

The first impression of the property was great s as it looked good from the outside. However, that impression was dampened with the behavior of the reception staff. No smile, no greeting, no friendly chatter. Nothing making us feel welcome after a long drive. I even had a 3 month old in my arm. She is usually pampered wherever we go. But the reception staff did not even bother, let alone smile. The evening receptionist was also not very friendly. I asked for 2 dental kits and was told there is only 1 and end of conversation. I get they may have gone out of stock. But I feel there is a way to present stuff. Apart from that the stay was good, the rooms and facilities were generally clean, except that I noticed a tiny cockroach in the bar area of the restaurant. Ok for one night stay.

Simple hotel with all the needed amenities. Staff were friendly and late check in was easy

Very clean and big room good size pool
