"This place is perfect for the business traveller. Although parking is a bit of a squeeze, the rooms are spacious, comfy bed, have a great desk to work at, (no freezer in the fridge, though...) and walking distance to everything useful - supermarkets, food, pubs, banks and so on. This is not a 5 star rated premises (probably 3-4 star rating) but it is 5 star for the price. This will be my first choice in future when in Mount Gambier."

Staff were really lovely, reception and restaurant much fancier than I expected for a motor Lodge, let alone one for ~$100 a night which is kinda unheard of these days. Yes the place was built in the 70s or so and the once very fancy built-ins for the bedhead are a little dated... But the room was clean, and warm (no limiter on the AC like so many others) and otherwise well maintained. Would absolutely stay again

Even thought the world is a little crazy right now, the Commodore provided a little oasis in my travel.
It continues to be one of my go to places in my business travels.
Great restaurant and selection of wines.

I was working in Mount Gambier for a few of days, so only stayed for a couple of nights - wished I had stayed longer. Friendly, helpful staff. A quiet, comfortable, clean and tidy room with coffee and tea making necessities, biscuits and milk provided in the little bar fridge. It was cold and wet outside both nights, so a quiet, efficient air conditioner ensured a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. Excellent hot shower too with a modern shower head (very important).

We were travelling for work with a young baby and the staff were considerate and moved us to a room that was further away from the road without us asking. They also didn't hesitate to help when we realised we'd forgot toothpaste and happily accommodated us. The meals offered in the restaurant were also fantastic! They were much better than I expected for a motel restaurant and very good value for money. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Mt Gambier! Highly recommend
