Comfort Inn Lakes – A Journey to $15,000 in Annual Savings

The client

Nestled in South Australia’s Limestone Coast, Comfort Inn Lakes offers scenic Blue Lake views, and a serene retreat for both leisure and business travellers. Known for its modern amenities, including an indoor heated pool, spa, and well-appointed rooms, the property combines comfort with convenience. It serves as a reliable base for travellers exploring the region or conducting business in the area.

The Problem

When energy bills kept climbing, Comfort Inn Lakes faced tough questions: were they on the best plan? How could they cut costs without compromising service? They needed a targeted solution—and fast.

Rising Costs, Rising Pressure

“At Comfort Inn The Lakes, we found it increasingly difficult to determine whether we were on the most competitive rates for our electricity. With rising costs and a complex energy market, we knew we needed expert advice to ensure we were getting the best deal. That's when we turned to the Choice Hotels network, seeking guidance from a trusted source. They recommended Energy Action, a company with a strong reputation for helping businesses navigate the energy landscape.”

- Tamara Rothall, Manager, Comfort Inn Lakes 

The Solution

A Tailored Plan with Immediate Results

Partnering with Energy Action in 2023, Comfort Inn Lakes secured a commercial energy plan that delivered immediate results. We conducted a comprehensive review of the hotel's energy usage and rates, identifying opportunities for immediate and long-term savings.

The tailored approach included:

  • A 12-month agreement to capture short-term savings while monitoring market conditions.
  • A subsequent three-year contract locking in additional savings.
  • Uncovering further savings through network cost reductions.

“Thanks to their expertise, we secured savings in the vicinity of over $5,000 per year, a considerable reduction in our energy costs. True to their insight, twelve months later, we locked in an additional $3,500 in savings over a three-year term. Most recently, Energy Action pinpointed network savings of approximately $6,500 annually.
