Cut above most in this type of market”

i have to be honest and say that i do not normally expect motels to be of hotel standard, because whilst others may disagree, i see a motel basically as a one night or so stopover on a holiday or business trip, whereas i expect more of a hotel. whilst not plush in the top hotel sense the best western southgate motel could prove satisfactory in either category, particularly with its excellent range of services, good food and adequate parking. it is also well situated for local visiting and access to major routes.

value for money ”

we will consider Best Western Southgate for future stays as its lived up to their advertisement. It clean (room carpets required cleaning) but other facilities offered are value for money.

A nice (but not a great) place for one night”

My partner and I stayed at the Best Western Southgate Motel for a night in July, 2013 whilst we were traveling to Melbourne. In short, it was a nice - but not a great - place to stay. I'd stay there again as it was reasonably priced (thanks to Agoda) and the room was comfortable although somewhat aged and, resultantly, tired. The proximity of the hotel to Mt. Gambier's "Blue Lake" was great as it's a great place for a morning walk. The only real 'downer' was noticing (2 days after we'd checked out) that even though the accommodation charge was paid in full via the Agoda website about 2 weeks before we arrived, the goose on reception improperly charged in excess of $100.00 to the Amex card taken as 'security' at the time of checking in - which then necessitated 2 calls by me to have the charge reversed. That was an unnecessary headache.

Convenient along the road motel, nothing special”

Nothing special, but the hotel is clean, ok, conveniently located when travelling through Mt Gambier. I could park my motorcycle immediately outside my room (not covered). Breakfast was mediocre (no cheese/ham)

Comfortable motel with good food”

I have used this motel many times as it is well located and has a reasonable restaurant. The lasts visit has not changed my attitude. I will visiting again

Great location in Mt Gambier”

The rooms were large and well equiped. Another positive aspect of this motel is that they provide free interenet conection in all rooms. This was very useful for us as we made full use of the internet connection to plan our daily itinary. There are also many food options and supermarkets located within a short distance of the motel.

Nice hotel, great service, quiet location”

As it was cold and wet during our stay, we did not have to get wet going to the restaurant or bar and the location was close to the hub of the city but not on a busy and noisy street. Staff were pleasant and helpful and we were amazed at the large size of our room.

Best bang for the buck in the area”

Pretty much close to all the attractions. Although outdated the building and rooms were neatly presented. Saw a notice in our room saying the building will be renovated soon.

Exceptional”

The King Size bed had a wonderful mattress. The room was very spacious and was cleaned every day by friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Impressive apartment unit”

We stayed in the "apartment" unit, which used to be the manager's accommodation. It was spacious beyond our expectation, and very well equipped. It was home away from home for us for one night and we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel rooms was huge and clean”

Hotel room was huge and clean, hotel also have free wifi. We booked a standard queen room for 3 people for abt Singapore dollar, good value I feel.

spacious apartment with broken lock”

pros: huge apartment, can fit in more than 8 people. nice kitchen convenient location cons: door lock was broken, staff can't help. we have to stay in our apartment for the whole night. can't even go to the other hotel room to visit my family.

Good valu for money country motel”

Thoroughly enjoyed my one night stay, friendly staff, large comfortable & clean room. Only negative is that it is close to the Jubliee Highway and you do get truck noise at night, take some earplugs and you will be fiune.!!

Most Enjoyable”

My stay was really excellent. The staff were accommodating, friendly and very helpful. Is it Jenny on the bar? So sorry to forget your name but you were outstanding.

Clean but tired”

Advertised at 45% off regular pricing and bringing it in line with its neighbouring property, we chose this one believeing it to be superior. Whilst room was clean, restuarant was closed for two days includng breakfast and bed was lumpy. Shower could not be temperature stabilised.
