Comfort Inn The Lakes Motel, Mt Gambier, SA – A Very Pleasant Experience We stayed at the Comfort Inn The Lakes on our way to Adelaide and had a delightful experience, especially after a recent disappointment at another Comfort Inn. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were warmly greeted by Val at reception, who was friendly and helpful, providing clear directions and great tips for sightseeing in the area. Our room was spacious, exactly as described, and thoughtfully equipped with ample cutlery, plates, bowls, and a jug, ensuring a comfortable stay. The bathroom was large and well-maintained, the bed was very comfortable, and the digital TV with Foxtel services was a welcome touch. The room was clean and fresh, and a thoughtful welcome card from the housekeeping staff, Boom, added a personal and inviting touch. The motel’s location is excellent, situated near Mt Gambier’s Valley Lake and the iconic Blue Lake, making it a perfect base for exploring the area. Overall, this was a very pleasing stay, and we highly recommend Comfort Inn The Lakes. We will definitely choose this motel again in the future.

Given the larger size of the room a small kitchenette type setting will greatly improve the experience

The location is very good, in a quiet part of Mount Gambier, close to the Blue Lake with views over the city from our executive room. You can park your car outside the room. The room itself was large, very clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed, huge bathroom, and there was enough crockery and cutlery for us to make our own breakfasts. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed due to the Christmas/New Years holiday. We were staying to visit family and would definitely choose this accommodation again, it was very good. Nice staff also.

We liked everything but a floor length mirror behind the door and bed lamps would make it even better

The location was great, really close to the main street but also to tourist attractions like the Blue Lake. The room was nice and spacious and the bed was really comfortable!! We did a late check in so didn't deal much with staff, but on check out they were really friendly.

The water pressure in the shower was a bit average. It was really hard to wash out my shampoo and conditioner but that was the only thing I could fault.

There was a person who is smoking in a room around midnight 1 am and due the that person the smokes alarms have triggered overnight and it ruined the sleep and this is something that needs to considered by the hotel management and needs to fine that kind of person and refund the night stay due to inconvenience caused by the other guests.

The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean and quiet. It had a spectacular view overlooking Mt Gambier.

One of the reasons the property was chosen was its restaurant. Unfortunately, being a Sunday, it was closed. Due to fire regulations there was no toaster. Despite the great view, there was inadequate seating on the deck to enjoy it.

Location great with lovey views over Mt Gambier. Spacious room with well appointed bathroom. Thyme restaurant virtually on the doorstep.

The restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast. While there are tea and coffee making facilities in the room a small toaster would be a useful addition.

Superb location to Blue Lake & city area. Very quiet, very good view on high ground. The staff was very helpful & attentive, specially thanks to Val. We checked in on the 24/12, she makes sure that our booking is confirm, got our keys, and gave us informations on visiting places. 😊

Free parking, but for larger family car will be a bit struggle to park.

Central position a bonus, quiet locale. Clean room with large bed and TV. A great spot near the lakes for the walking enthusiasts, very convenient.

Negatives - The toilet paper holder in the toilet - for an executive room this item was useless; also the tissue holder in the bathroom. Personally I do not like the automated soap dispensers, again for an executive higher priced room you would expect better and more personal items. And a pity the restaurant wasnt open during such a busy tourist time.

The room had everything you need. We'll appointed. Location next to the lakes is ideal.

Tiles in the shower are a bit slippery, compounded by the slippery type of water.

The location was great, although not walkable to any restaurants or bars. It was a short drive, though, to those and to the Blue Lake walking trail.

The bed was a bit too soft for my liking. And I was disappointed that the on-premise restaurant wasn’t open on Mondays.
