Nightcap at Federal Hotel Mt Gambier seemed to be trying hard to be a reasonable accommodation option, but just missed the mark in a few areas. Unfortunately, many of Mt Gambier's hotels have a similar issue. Staff in the hotel are friendly and welcoming, and a positive effort has been made to upgrade the rooms. However, our room, while generally being pretty good for what it is, needed a little more effort from the cleaning staff to make sure all corners were cleaned and opened milk (UHT milk) was replaced. It was a shame that our bathroom developed a terrible aroma with a plumbing issue on Sat night when there weren't options to have it rectified. Would give this accommodation another go as good value for its price and a reasonable option for this price point in Mount Gambier.

good for one night stay.

This is a good, basic hotel for one night rather than a holiday. Amenities need a bit more thought, e.g., a bath mat would be good so that stepping out of the shower onto cold tiles is unnecessary. A non-slip mat in the shower would be good too. The bed was very comfortable.

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment - it smelled like cigarette smoke despite their efforts to hide the smell. The air-conditioning didn't work so they upgraded us to a 3 bedroom apartment, which didn't smell and was huge and really lovely. We were especially impressed by the bathrooms! Complimentary house drinks were an added bonus.

Great little hotel walking distance from the main street. Plenty of free parking and the staff at the front desk were lovely. Only real issue is a little street noise being on a main road, but that didn't affect my stay. Will be back
