There was poo in the toilet bowl. A small brown piece of poo was sitting at the bottom of the toilet bowl. There were white stains all over the shower floor.

Very noisy, can hear neighbours as if they are in the same room. Bed is extremely comfortable but the room lacks modern touches like a smart Tv.

The staff member Stephanie ,on duty when we arrived after a very long day of driving was exceptional in every way. We had several electrical problems in our room and she acted promptly to resolve and assist us . She was professional and empathetic and ultimately moved us , even helped us pack up and move to a different room. We highly recommend her can do service with a smile. The hotel was in a great location with great in room facilities.

Overall the property was clean and neat. The dishes needed a good was not a simple wipe out. But I booked for the restaurant for dinner, the cooked breakfast to room and room service non of which were available due to being closed over the new year period. So this should have been advised or allowed me to cancel with refund.

A budget motel
We book this motel because the preferred accommodation wasn't available for both nights at Mount Gambier. This one is a budget motel on the main road - good enough for road trip stop-over - you want to spend as little time in the room as possible
