The Commodore

Close to pubs around the hotel and other shopping all within walking distance. The room where quiet and well appointed. Plenty of parking and the laundry came in handy too.

In what was a late decision, I booked to stay at The Commodore to participate in a community event in Mount Gambier. Even though the booking was late, the hotel accommodated a later checkout which meant that I had time to relax and shower after my event, which was welcoming. The hotel prefer to store card number on file to cover incidentals, but (like many other hotels) accept a bond as an alternative if you are not comfortable with that. You will need to checkout in person and wait until the room is quickly inspected if you choose to use the bond. The room itself is quite spacious and comfortable. While no views except for the courtyard, the room has everything you need with reasonable parking in the courtyard. It has foxtel on the TV, with the option of a cooked breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Location is ideal for a walk into the town centre, being 5 minutes to all of the cafes and restaurants.

Comfortable and convenient. Not too loud even next to the road. The deluxe spa room was very spacious and the breakfast bar in the restaurant was delicious. Great stay!

The room was very clean and comfortable. It was a little disappointing that the facility’s pool and leisure area was still not operational due to Covid.

Advertised having an indoor pool. However, pool was closed since COVID. Very disappointing.

Conveniently located hotel with excellent friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were slightly dated but spotless and included a mini-kitchen and microwave. Convenient parking. Would stay again.

On site restaurant was excellent for taste but expensive.

owner dont want people use pool, all good other than that

Fantastic stay! The location was perfect,just minutes from the airport. Check-in was smooth and friendly, and the spa room was absolutely amazing. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, with a super comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Loved the convenience of parking right in front of the room and how easy check-in and check-out were. I Would highly recommend a stay at The Commodore.

It was quiet, sparkling clean, so modern and the car park was handy at the door step. We would recommend you to install an EV charger other than Tesla as many travelers will benefit from it .

Very clean and comfortable, friendly professional staff. I found the noise from the road and through the walls a little loud, so it wasn’t the best sleep !

Mound in old bathroom

Very clean and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

The place was clean, spacious and modern. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the motel itself was in excellent condition comfortable and clean

Stayed for 3 nights and not the best place we have stayed. The bathroom had mould, and we had to request a new kettle as the one in our room had white gunk all in it. The walls are so paper thin that you can hear the people next door talking and them using the kettle ect at 5:30am. We had a room at the front and the traffic was rather loud. Positives were the staff we nice and the location is good. The electic car charger is a bonus too.

The rooms were dirty, microwave unusable due to odours of curry, maintenance required in wet ateas. Cutlery, plates not clean, unsure if linen was fresh and clean .Fridge smelled, dining table not clean. No real love or care ...Bathroom not cleaned thoroughly...disappointed never recommend. Location was ideal thats it...

the property was conveniently located and the room was clean with comfortable bed but the bathroom had mould on ceiling and the shower had a lot of mildew on the tiles, not clean at all. also dust and dead insects on the windowsill

Clean and tidy

This was one of the worst places we ever stayed in. 5 Fairlie is a run down old house with paint peeling off the walls, a 1950s bathroom with an original green pedestal sink with separate hot and cold taps, and the original green bath tub, and a continously running shower head. The bedrooms had no wardrobes. There was no coffee machine with pods (they just had instant coffee sachets). The toilet was located at the back of the house and there was no sink to wash your hands. To wash your hands you had to walk through the whole house to the 1950s bathroom. The washing machine was provided but no washing power, rendering the washing machine useless. The red couch you see in the photos has not been wiped since these photos were taken probably 20 years ago. It is filthy. At $340 per night, Commodore should be ashamed of themselves to offer such poor quality accommodation. I asked them for photos of the bedrooms and the bathroom, as there were none online and was told that they are online (which obviously they are not, as if they would have photos of the real conditon of this house, no one would ever book it. The only positives were the lovely receptionist, who provided outstanding customer service, the comfotable beds and the well vacuumed floors. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone, unless you are getting it for an absolutely ridiculously cheap price, as it is worse than a backpackers.

Large room. Super clean. Easy to find.

Rooms were very clean and seem to be recently renovated. Beds were comfortable and amenities were great. We were in a room closer to the main road and did hear some traffic throughout the night.

Not the best location on main road, but overall comfortable bed, clean although a bit dated

Very clean, bed extremely comfortable, good sized room and nice and quiet...

Nice spacious room, very private and quiet. Close to main street

Room clean and tidy. Shower sprayed out the door when turned on with no drain to clear water outside shower. Shower size small for size of bathroom. Could clearly hear neighbours conversation on either side.

Great place to stay when you have things to do in the area. Walls are a bit thin so can hear neighbours and traffic during the night.

Staff at reception were excellent Room was very tired with a lot of road noise

Nice bed. Sofa was terrible.

Paper thin walls between rooms.

Great location and staff. Comfortable bed, spacious room (king suite) and powerful shower

We stayed only one night. The receptionist was efficient and welcoming. Car parking ok. The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed and with quality furniture and fittings. The restaurant/bar looked nice (we didn't have dinner there). We did opt for the inclusive breakfast (extra $10/person) in the restaurant. The staff in the restaurant were charming. We were encouraged to upgrade our breakfast options but we stuck with the inclusive - a good decision because the breakfasts were most generous in size. We would recommend this motel.

The stay was ok, the entrance door did not seal properly allowing a lot of noise and cigarette smell from the guests in the room next door. Also the reverse cycle heater/cooler did not work. I mentioned this upon check out and the lady working didn't care at all. I'm not sure if I would stay again.

Easy check in with very pleasant staff. We always stay here when we go to Mount Gambier. Thank you.

An easy and friendly check-in room was very clean and tidy Bed comfortable with nice sheets and pillows It was missing a hairdryer and an iron but when I mentioned this they were onto it. Water pressure was reasonable. Parking was easy.

The staff wrre lovand very helpful. The restaurant food and service was wonderful. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable.

Clean room's friendly staff restaurant meal was very good and when we did report an issue with the shower it was repaired that day. Would book again if past through Mt Gambier in the future.

I can't fault anything. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean. Breakfast in the dining room was nice. Definitely recommend.

Sofa was almost unpadded, sitting in the springs. Housekeeping started cleaning our room before we checked out!

Centrally located. Comfy bed. Aircon was a bit hard to use though.

Great location close to everything. Restaurant food was delicious especially breakfast lots of options.

Good Motel in excellent location for access to town centre.

Located at a busy intersection with heavy traffic passing. Noisy if window is not closed. (Unfortunately we were unaware that the housekeeping staff had left our window open the second night and we had a bad night sleep due to noise!) Good restaurant on site.

Lovely clean room with very comfortable beds. Foxtel available. Only negative comment was a bit noisy at night being near the round about hearing trucks but still managed to have a good night's sleep

A welcoming place to stay, within walking distance of the Main Street.

Great hotel, rooms were new and comfortable beds for the 4 of us. Convenient location next to the famous sink hole and city center walkable. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Mt Gambier

Good location. Although close to main road and subject to some road traffic noise.

Commodore is just a short walk to main shopping strip. Is always clean and staff are helpful and friendly.

Great location and staff. Comfortable bed, spacious room (king suite) and powerful shower

Great location close to everything. Restaurant food was delicious especially breakfast lots of options.

Good food in the restaurant with great atmosphere. However, the food was a bit pricy. Rooms were clean, however a bit noisy as the accommodation was located near a busy roundabout.

The customer service is always nice and a room service meal was yummy and not over priced

Comfortable and convenient. Not too loud even next to the road. The deluxe spa room was very spacious and the breakfast bar in the restaurant was delicious. Great stay!

Rooms were of reasonable size. Dinning optios and menu very good

We stayed in a spa suite it was quite noisy and the suite was right up the front of the property. The breakfast was ordinary with little to choose from except toast or yogurt and orange juice if you wanted you could upgrade to have a bigger breakfast with coffee option but you pay an extra $13 dollars per person

The staff wrre lovand very helpful. The restaurant food and service was wonderful. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable.

On site restaurant was excellent for taste but expensive.

Overall we had a very pleasant stay-cay. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The bathroom was in need of an update but there were possibly rooms with updated bathrooms for a higher price? The restaurant is the best in town. I would recommend the Commodore to other people.

Having a lovely drink by the fire then moving into the restaurant where the food was excellent along with the very friendly staff.
