Hi Management of Mercure Perth,
Thank you for allowing me this chance to share my recent stay experience.
The breakfast offering was good and appreciate the quiet ambience in the bf area. The staff on duty (sorry was not able to get her name) was really friendly, and my appreciation to her for being attentive to all the guests' needs.
However I am disappointed that despite paying for a Superior Room and Early Check In fees, total AUD294.65, I was not accorded the room type at time of check in. The explanation provided by the Manager was that the hotel was full. The option offered to me was to proceed to a Standard Room first, and once the Superior Room is available, I will be transferred.
As someone travelling on business, I am sure Accor Group will understand that this is less than desirable. The reason why I paid for the Early Check In fees and for the Superior room, is so that I have a quick check-in, and settle for a quick rest before I start my day. This is even more needed as I was coming off a red-eye flight.
I also did an online check in prior to arrival as well, to avoid excessive time spent with the check in formalities. However, I still have to end up standing at the check in counter waiting for things to be processed, from which the Manager shared that he was trying to move things around. I have no idea what that means, but definitely, not what I was expecting having paid for (1) Done my pre-arrival online check in (2) Paid for Early Check In (3) Paid for Superior Room.
As I was too exhausted to wait for the hotel to sort things out, and I had to prepare for the start of my work day, I suggested to just give me any room available.
I noted that the Manager offered a complimentary bf, which is a nice gesture.
However, the above experience has been poor, despite the guest doing my part to ensure that I receive the minimal standards of service expected of Mercure.
I have decided not to make this feedback public, as I am sure this experience is an exception more than the norm.
However, I do expect a good answer and resolution to this feedback, and trust that the Management will do the best with a proper service recovery.
