If you're headed for the Tioman cluster of islands and happen to arrive in Mersing after 4:30pm, by which time the last ferry has unfortunately departed, it is extremely likely that you'll have to spend a night or two in town.
Since you've already missed your boat, don't be in a hurry to dump all your bags in the first room you find or you might be sorry later on. Take some time to look around - there are no lack of hotels in Mersing, and most of them are located on Jalan Ismail and Jalan Abu Bakar, which are a mere ten-minute walk from the Mersing Jetty/Plaza R&R and five minutes from the Mersing Bus & Taxi Terminal. Ask the receptionists (nicely, of course) for keys to the room before you pay so you know what you'll be paying for. We understand that you're travel-weary but you have the whole night to rest anyway, and you want to sleep somewhere you feel safe and comfortable.
Here's a tip: if you're looking for easy access to a bottle of cold beer, avoid Muslim establishments. Instead, head for Chinese-owned restaurants and hotels because they almost always have a coffeeshop selling beers on the ground floor next to the reception area.

new listing instead.
