- Pounsett (8/5): -
- Scott (7/5): It was very good for the money, it was a great place for a single person to stay and it was central. - No breakfast included. It was either the owners or relatives of the owners were working on their car right outside my room door. It was very annoying with their noise.
- Vanderwee (8/5): - I liked that our room go made up and they gave us fresh towels. I enjoyed the cookies, but they weren't replaced when the room was made up. I could smell cigarette smoke coming in through the window

- Stacey (7/5): - It has all the basics, kettle toaster and microwave with cutlery and some dishes The bed was a bit uncomfortable. The light that I kept hitting my head on because it is directly above the bed.
The tv wasn’t mounted and very awkward to watch without being able to lean against the wall because the light was in the way
- Melinda (5/5): Good one night stayer - Easy to get into town, Mostly walking distance. Staff were lovely.

- Sandra (10/5): Easy location perfect for my overnight stay, close to everything - Was great, perfect location, clean Was nothing
- Settie (6/5): Just fine. - Location is good. Room smelled clean and was clean. Bed was super hard. Parking was atrocious. Room is smaller compared to the one we stayed before adjacent to the reception. No staff upon arrival, had to phone call them. Noise of people talking and noise of the steps heard.
- Aakash (1/5): Not good - Poor WiFi. Reported to staff and they did nothing. Leaking cistern throughout the night. Couldn't sleep peacefully

- Nakita (1/5): Worst night - The location was the only bonus. Quick walk to the shops and 1 of Mount Gambiers attractions. The bed was very hard, springs were sticking out across the whole surface of the mattress. Got maybe 3 hours sleep. High calcium build up on shower head, making the water dribble out. Very out dated bathroom with a water damaged door. Very thin walls and no noise control as the neighbouring guest were rowdy well past 12am. Parking Very tight.
