Hotel berhampiran Mount Gambier Rsl War Museum, Gunung Gambier

The hotel was clean and presentable upon arrival. The gentleman that served us at the bookings window was warm and friendly. The shower facilities were amazing and the bed was super comfy. We went to the bistro here at the hotel for dinner and the service I could not fault. Angie was lovely, cheerful and extra apologetic when picking up our plates. Unfortunately the food was below standard. I ordered a medium rare T-bone steak that came out well done and there was no salad dressing on my salad. My mother had the roast Beef. It was so tough and chewy it looked as though it has been boiled and then roasted. The roast was also paired with 2 baby potatoes one half of a carrot and a mountain of frozen beans and corn. I work for the company and at a pub in Adelaide and I'm very disappointed with the food only.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Colhurst House, a beautiful and charming accommodation conveniently situated near Mount Gambier's city center. The location proved to be ideal, within walking distance of various shops and restaurants. The room itself was pleasant and well-maintained, complete with the added perk of a tea and Nespresso coffee machine. While my overall experience was positive, I regretfully cannot award the hotel a perfect 5-star rating due to some issues encountered during the check-in process. After a long and tiring drive, the anticipation of a seamless check-in was dashed when we arrived and found no one at the reception desk. It turned out that the hotel had tried to contact me earlier, but since I had an international number, they were unable to reach me over the phone. A simple email or phone call (or whatapp number) with check in instructions would have alleviated this situation. Unfortunately, the situation escalated when my email to the hotel went unanswered for more than 30 minutes. Frustrated, I had no choice but to make an expensive international call, which eventually resolved the matter. Thankfully, a kind staff member promptly arrived to assist with the check-in process after the call. Another minor inconvenience was the absence of details regarding the Wi-Fi password in the room. A straightforward sign with this information would have resolved the issue without any hassle. Once again, I resorted to sending an email for the password but, disappointingly, received no response. This forced me to make another call, urgently requesting a reply to my email.

We stopped over at Mount Gambier on our way from Adelaide to Melbourne and stayed at the Studio Spa Suite at The Commodore. The location was great, and you can easily walk to nearby attractions such as the cave garden. Lots of food options nearby as well. The jacuzzi in the room was spacious and made our short stopover exceptionally relaxing. Would love to visit Mount Gambier and The Commodore again.

The Henry is ok if you are looking to just put your head down. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Was reasonably priced but you get what you pay for. Bathroom light flashed like a disco we advised cleaners to report which she did but nobody came to fix it. The globe needed replacing.don’t know why this wasn’t picked up by the pre clean. This was a standard room double bed plus single. Other rooms may be better ? Hot water pressure was good. These rooms are very outdated but as I said you get what you pay for. tv had foxtel which was good. It was just a head down place for us and I’m assuming for most people staying in these type of units. Not much around here walking distance it’s very quiet but a close drive to attractions. We went use restaurant so can’t comment on that. If the light had of been fixed it would have been a decent stay. I don’t understand why these things aren’t attended to.

Although this place has varying reviews and has a few quirks, it's a solid 4 stars in any book. The location is pretty hard to beat perched high on the side of the crater overlooking the town. It's a short stroll to the amazing Blue Lake and the views are breathtaking all round. Sure, not every room has a view, but you don't have to try hard to find the view. Our room had comfy beds and was very spacious. Some aspects were a bit dated and maybe the place could be better maintained, but overall the price was fair for what it is. Service was friendly and excellent. Wishing we were back there already!

What a remarkable find in a town with a high number of motels to choose from! From the outset the deciding factor to stay here was simple: the heated indoor pool - 5 stars for this alone after some 2 weeks on the road. The added bonus was a finding this gem in Mt Gambier - easy booking system, lovely welcoming staff member, a very comfortable 2 bedroom unit, the most comfortable beds we had slept in, a noise-free night and within a few minutes walk, a great Australian pub - “The South Eastern” offering fantastic food. A fantastic experience all at a modest price!!!

This venue was a great place to stop on our trip from Hobart to Adelaide. The recently renovated rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious whilst being well appointed. It was everything we needed. The management and staff were friendly and helpful, even to the point of helping us when we realised that we had a flat battery and making us a cup of tea whilst we waited for the RACT.

The entrance and exterior to this venue was uninspiring. However, the Superior Queen Room was superb! It was in excellent condition, clean and well equipped. The kitchenette had a sink and all washing up gear was provided. There was a good stock of tea and coffee. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch. The shower was great. There were lounge chairs as well as a counter area with bar stools for dining. There were shelves for 2 suitcases. The free Wifi connection was good. Paper and plastic recycling was encouraged. There was a covered BBQ and outdoor eating area. Parking was easy to access. Although situated on a busy road, we heard no traffic noise. A superior room, for sure!

We recently stayed at the Presidential Motel and will never stay there again or recommend anyone stay there again. We checked in on Thursday, 24th February 2022 to a lady who was very rude. She advised me as I was booking in that they would be charging me a $200.00 pre-authorisation damages fee that would cover any damages to the room. I asked her why this was the case and she advised that it was standard through booking.com and booking.com charged this on all booking.com bookings. I advised her that I used booking.com on all my bookings and have never been charged a damages fee. She was quite rude and ended up charging me $150.00 after admitting that it was the hotels preference to charge customers a damages fee not booking.com. I want to the room with friends to put my luggage away. 2 cleaners were cleaning the room beside my room. They asked me if I was booking into the room that they were cleaning and advised them that I was booking into Room 48. 1 of the cleaners advised that she would do a check of the room to see if it was ready to be booked. She unlocked the room and went inside to do a check. She advised me that the fridge had to be stocked. I asked her if I could take some blankets as it was cold and she said yes. She showed me the cupboards where the blankets were and I removed 2 blankets from the cupboard that was encased in white bags. These bags were carried out to the boot of my car. The door closed behind me and I thought I had left the swipe card in the room. I asked the cleaner could she unlock the room for me, which she did. The cleaner then went back to the room next door to finish her cleaning. (Approval of using the blankets were witnessed by 4 people that were with me). On Friday, 25th February 2022 I received a missed call from 08 8724 9966 at 12:24 pm. I returned this call and was greeted by a man advising that he was the manager of the Presidential Motel and had been advised by his cleaner that the blankets had not been returned to the room. I advised him that the blankets were still in the car as I grabbed them because my kids were cold. He asked where I was and I told him that I was at the speedway. He spat the dummy stating that they could not be at the speedway and had to be returned to the motel so they wouldn’t get dirty. I told him that they wouldn’t get dirty because we were parked in the pits and the blankets were kept in the car for the kids to use. He said that they would get grease etc on them because we were at the speedway. I again advised him that this wouldn’t be the case because they were in the car. Our kids were racing go karts, which doesn’t have grease etc like the cars would. I told him that I would return the blankets to the room and told him I had to go. I then hung up the phone. On Friday, 25th February 2022 when we returned to the room it was late and I forgot to remove the blankets from the boot (that had still not been used and were still in the white bags). We we
