The Mercure in Townsville has it charm that is hard to describe. The open plan reception is reminiscent of Fiji. Staff are warm and courteous. Rooms are well appointed, sliding mirror doors open to a tidy and clean bathroom. The restaurant and bar are reasonably priced. My waitress had an excellent palette and her advice on what I should order from the food and wine menu was priceless. The pool is inviting and I was told some rooms overlook a lake.
