I've applied the usual Pattaya Discount - reduce by at least 25% but preferably 50% any rating in Pattaya to find its equivalent in the real world. Hence 4 stars really means 3 or even 2 stars
Totally ridiculous. These are not independent ratings but ratings by the Mecure Chain. Trip advisor agrees . The dump you try to compare it to in Melbourne is not even close. And since Scotty seems to think he is getting good value for his upgraded room, breakfast etc and he has sampled other Hotels in the chain, I guess it is probably good value.

I also notice you have nothing to say about your ridiculous rate comparisons by picking inferior rooms without breakfast and no refunds.I'm still holding my breath! HaHa
