Location was convenient. Room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities provided. Standard breakfast with a good choice of evening meals. Lack of on-site parking was not ideal - had to park at Wilson’s around the corner Check-in staff very friendly.
Thank you for a lovely stay! Would definitely stay here again! Not far from all the sights and plenty of dining options. Lovely staff.

Our spacious room with king bed and kitchen area was a delight for our two night stay. A 10 minute walk to the downtown octagon meant restaurants, galleries and shops were very nearby. We walked to all galleries, museums and sights.
One note: if you want to see the blue penguin colony, book a visit in advance of your arrival!
Shower should be bigger. Plenty of room for bigger cubical

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very close to Dunedin's central Octagon but quiet (I did have a room away from the street). Friendly, helpful management. The room was large, clean and comfortable and in my case had a small outdoor garden. Would definitely stay here again.
Friendly staff that are very helpful. Room was tidy and clean. Starting to show age a wee bit though. Outdoor areas need some TLC with the weeds. Usually stay here in Dunedin as its pretty close to everything and is reasonably quiet from road noise and night life
The room we had probably the best motel /hotel room we have stayed in. Quite some thought has been taken in the design processed and showed. The attention to detail was exemplified in other way. For instance the motel was fully booked with no parking available on Saturday night. However Motel on York were able to provide off-site parking at business across the road. It was also no problem to provide secure luggage storage on our last day. Highly recommend.
