Pros:

Comfortable beds and pillows. Black out blinds worked really well. First time I've stayed in a hotel without light streaming through a gap in the curtains.

Cons:

Room was hot and stuffy. We could only turn the temp down to 17deg which was much too hot for sleeping.

Pros:

location is great for southbank access. parking is very convenient.

Cons:

I would always ask for a room much further away from the lifts next time, far too noisy.
And there was only 1 person serving at the reception counter check-in with a line of 6 people waiting to check-in. We waiting at least 20minutes or more to check in!

Overall Mecure South Bank great location to stay for short term stay (3-4 night’s) for longer term stays could be better
Pros:

Location was perfect for our trip right on South bank promenade easy 5 min walk to Flinders station and tram stops . Good selection of breakfast foods and always keeping well stocked up. Great view out our window over Yarra river and Southbank promenade looking over to Flinders Station.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit dated which is only minor and can be fixed not a major as it was functional .
Would be nice to have a court yard or somewhere outside to sit for a drink or to get some fresh air without having to leave the establishment even though there are plenty of bars around with out door areas after a busy day exploring this great city its nice to sit outside and relax rather than be stuck in a stuffy air conditioned room if you staying more than a few nights.

Great location
Pros:

Very close to the river an vibrant restaurant precinct and a short walk to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl where I was seeing a concert

Cons:

Two tiny lifts so it took ages to get to our room when as there was a group booking and a bus full of people - took twenty minutes to get into the lift.
