The “studio motel room” we stayed in should have been advertised as a SMALL hotel room with tea and coffee making facilities. A motel room it certainly was not. No cooking utensils or any way to prepare a meal and not a table to sit and eat at anyway. In what passed for a “kitchen” the shelf was so narrow a full sized dinner plate would not fit so there were none. The bathroom hand basin was so tiny you could hardly fit your head beside the tap to clean your teeth! The most expensive place we’ve had on our trip with the least facilities. Place was clean and staff excellent. Handy location but unfortunately not great value for money.

I little bit hidden entryway to the Motel off of Carroll, but worth a stay in the value for the price paid.
Clean & comfortable. Not the hotels fault, but there was a noisy neighbor on one of my nights
I would certainly stay again whenever in Dunedin

Extremely kind reception! Something went wrong with the booking and they had only prepared for me to arrive the next day. I was almost prepared to find somewhere else to stay the night, but they prepared their break room for a single night and let me stay there while also giving me a refund.

This is not really a motel. They have a first come first served small car park and the rooms are more like a hotel. Wifi was poor but made up for by free washing and drying facilities. Room wasn’t properly cleaned (there was a paper, bottle and dust under the bed for example) and I hit my head on the badly placed microwave. Price was the saving grace.

The towel rail in the bathroom fell off when we went in there, the guy came & looked at it & then glued it back on, not sure how long that would last. The room was tired with areas if neglect, door to bathroom dud not shut properly.

This property was well below standard.There was rubbish littered in the carpark.This included food products.Scaffolding due to roof maintenance hindered access to garage.I would never recommend this rundown unsafe motel to anyone.

Sound seems to travel through the walls and floor of the complex pretty easily and there was a family with young kids running around and screaming till after midnight that kept me up plus other guests.

I don't know how this got 3 stars. We've stayed in far nicer for the same cost. In a room for 4 there were only 3 off most things in the kitchenette. The mugs are stained, chipped and cracked too. The room smelled of fried food and looks like it was furnished from a charity shop. The blanket on our bed had dried on brown crispy dirt and the carpets are dirty. Would not recommend.
