Mercure Darwin Airport Resort

We arrived on red-eye flights at 2:00am, and still they had complimentary shuttle service to the hotel! Our room was a pool villa, with a lovely bush outlook. Breakfast buffet was delicious and plentiful, and the staff there were smiling and friendly. We highly recommend a stay here.

I stay at Mecure most of the time , as the location is good for airport , shopping etc. The grounds are beautiful, gardens well maintained. Accommodation is good with different styles to choose from. Motel style rooms , with everything you need. Bungalows are great some are self contained ed others are not , but all have Tea & coffee with fridge . One bedroom suits are great plenty of room my favourite. Then you have the Tropical Bungalow with your own private pool , rooms a bit small but lovely to relax open door to pool area over looking bush land. Breakfast is ordinary hit and miss , not a great deal to choose from and mostly cold. If it does not come with room , I would not bother. Prices are not bad in off season , but expensive other times of the year. Overall it is a safe and comfortable place to stay.

The highlight of the Mercure is how close it is to the airport, that is where the highlights end. The room we are in is at the bare necessities level of basic. A soul-less box devoid of any character. Very echo-ee due to the bare walls. Our "balcony" is a dirt patch with a mobility chair abandoned in the dust next to us. The mini bar you advertise as a feature of the room doesn't exist. The pictures of the rooms on your site and booking agents do not reflect the rooms accurately. We selected the room based on these pictures. For the price paid I'm sure we could have found something much better. Having previously been a resident of Darwin, I probably should have known.
