Room and bed very comfy. Bistro had good quality and good range of food. Location is wonderful. American River is a sleepy little town and good location to see the rest of Kangaroo Island.

Disappointing. While the hotel is in the process of being extended and refurbished, that did not include the room we stayed in which although spacious and clean was in need of an update. The hanging space and vanity were tiny, especially for such a large room. Eating out options at American River for dinner are extremely limited. Dinner at the hotel was expensive and service not to standard. While the staff were unfailingly polite, helpful and doing their best they were under resourced for the workload. Apparently, a tour bus group had checked in for that night.

Room could be updated but was comfortable. Guest laundry was unkempt and needs full overhaul. General property not what we would expect from Mercure and overpriced.

The room was a little tired and in need of a good clean, but the onsite facilities and staff were great. We especially enjoyed eating at the Reflections restaurant.
