Hotel Mercure Clear Mountain Lodge (Brisbane, Australia)

If you're looking for a hotel where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city then you've found it. Outside of Brisbane and close to Lake Samsonvale, the views up here on Clear Mountain are beautiful.

You'll find everything you need in the rooms at this hotel, plus very comfortable bedding and furniture so you can really relax and put your feet up. The rooms are made up each day and always cleaned thoroughly.

Wake up each morning to a good feed at the breakfast buffet, there is plenty to choose from so all tastes are catered for. You can also enjoy a cup of premium coffee, some freshly brewed tea, and a glass of fruit juice.

If you need to stay connected to the internet while staying here you should be aware that you'll have to pay extra for it. Most hotels offer Wi-Fi for free nowadays, and this hotel should do the same.

The hotel restaurant is not being managed very well, especially when a large group comes in for an evening meal. Waiting times can be long and often items on the menu are not available.

This would have once been quite an elegant and attractive hotel, but those days are now behind it. Things like faulty fittings and worn out carpets are noticeable due to its age, and some careful refurbishment work would go a long way.
