unfortunate
Pros:

I would highly reccomend the restaraunt on site for dinner. The food was lovely and fairly priced. The service in there was great swell, very nice and warm environment.

Breakfast buffet which was include din our package was great as well. A great variety of hot an cold food, sweet or savoury options.

Upon arrival, the lobby is beautiful and the bathrooms on the ground floor are very moder. The lift was also a bonus as we were on the 2nd floor and had luggage.

Cons:

For the price you pay, I was a little dissapointed to be honest. The room was a good size but the TV is outdated and we were unable to chromecast/ no sky tv. Our remote didnt work and we ended up having 4x staff in and out of our room over a 2 hour period trying to fix this for us just so that we could watch something. (it was cold out so we really wanted to lay in bed an just watch something and relax after our long trip.)
The only cutlery you get is 2x cups, 2x teaspoons, 2x wine glasses and 2x drinking glasses so nothing to eat food with if you were to order in which was odd- I guess its to encourage people to eat at the restaraunt on site but again, it would have been nice to enjoy food in our room after the long trip.

Upon checking out the receptionist was trying to charge me for the incorrect rooms fee despite telling her 3x my name and room number- she continued to call me by "jackie" which is not my name haha and tried to charge me for breakfast and a coffee (i did not have coffee and breakfast was included in the price I paid in full prior to arrival for mum and i)
The swimming pool does not look like the pictures on the website, is outdated and needs a resurface. I paid close to $300 per night and was just not impressed unfortunately. I was kept up both nights with the neighbors spa bath which shook the wall on which the bed was against and was so loud in our room...I even took videos to show the receptionist because after 2x nights of that going off between 11pm and 2am I was in a bit of a mood due to lack of sleep. The extra blankets from the wardrobe were also ripped/worn and stained which was a bit off putting.

Pros:

Breakfast was included in the tariff and was delicious. The location is very central and easy to walk to town. Room was spacious and bathroom newly refurbished and clean. Good shower pressure.

Cons:

The windows could be opened which was good, but being old and single glazed did let in a bit of road noise.
We felt the bed was not comfortable and didn't sleep well. But those where the only two things we found fault with

Mercure Tauranga
Pros:

Great location , nicely renovated , good valve and friendly staff but very disappointing after looking forward to a nice meal and after making our choice from the menu in our room we discovered that most of the meals weren’t available from Friday to Sunday .There was no mention of this on the menu .Also very disappointing that the hotel does not have sky and not available to watch any of the sports we had hoped to watch .Once again there was no mention of the sky being unavailable. Had we known we may have booked another accommodation.
