How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

[Cutty]

Property: Mercure Perth On Hay.
Status: Platinum plus.
Room booked: Deluxe King Room (x2).
Rate: $160 (note, stayed 3 nights with 2 rooms for a work trip with a colleague).
Room upgrade: Yes - Superior King Room with Balcony (for both rooms).
Free internet: Yes.
Free breakfast: Yes, for me only as colleague was not a member. Only ate at the restaurant one morning as ventured out to other city locations to look around. Reasonable options; was able to request freshly cooked eggs to my liking.
Early check in / late out: Not required, but assume it was available if I did.
Welcome drink: 1x voucher on app; nothing for the second room.
Welcome gift: Cheap and underwhelming bottle of red, nothing else. Fairly disappointing as even a fresh place of fruit at other hotels would have sufficed to snack on once checked in.
Recommend: Yes and no. I am struggling to find a location in Perth that pulls me to come back. I have stayed at The Adnate but rates were too high this trip. Novotel on Murray is always out of the price bracket. The upgrade to the room with a balcony, and on the top floor made for a very comfortable room with lots of fresh air. If I was in a room without the balcony, it would have felt old and cramped. Will keep looking at other options in Perth.
Final thoughts on Perth options: Have now tried The Adnate (yes, when $ suits), Novotel Langley (no, old and overpriced), Ibis Styles (no, cramped rooms and away from anything useful in the CBD). The new Tribe near Kings Park looks interesting, but outside of the CBD. Happy for suggestions as I am usually in Perth a few times a year with work.

Hot tip. Book your room for two people in Australia. No extra cost but now you have two welcome drinks and breakfast for two.

Novotel Langley is good for a weeks worth of living there, as long as you get into the Room number x04 Executive Suite on each level.
Stay away from the corner bldg Junior suites x05 / x06 as they may "seem" better being a larger room which you get as an upgrade being Gold/Platinum but don't have a full lounge suite or kitchenette that you get in the Exec Suite.

Thanks for the tip. When I stayed there I did get the Junior Suite upgrade and it wasn’t very comfortable. The air con didn’t work properly and buzzed the entire time, I ended up turning it off which wasn’t great for air flow. Service couldn’t help, they were “fully booked”. Ruined my experience and doesn’t make me want to go back.
