Top Nelly Bay Hotel Reviews

Mercure Townsville

Mercure Townsville

8/10 Good
"Rooms can be a little unkept. Our hotel door looked like it had been to hell and back. Internally the room was fine, not super luxurious but perfectly fine. Beds comfy and nice view of the lake. The main standout features of this hotel for us are the pool and the breakfast. Location, rooms, facilities and service do not reflect the high price we paid ($1,200 for 4 nights). No other major complaints and if the price was better we would stay again."
