Friendly and welcoming, would definitely stay again
Tessa on reception was friendly and welcoming. Room was nice and warm. Found room to be very peaceful as in not noticing noise from other rooms and the road.
The bed
Street unit with no double glassing and missing latch on window to close out the traffic noise and also next to rowdy student accommodation
Allie is absolutely lovely. The motel is conveniently located and great to be able to have our dogs.
Rooms need a little bit of TLC decor wise but definitely stable. The rooms were otherwise very clean.
The room was lovely and warm - as the host had turned on our heater. Room had good services.
No complaints. Although one of the tiles on the bathroom floor was loose and moved.
Love that my dog is welcome.
Owner real helpful. Had a faulty heater in room but was sorted quick. Very good with our little elderly dog.
students party across street to well after midnight... Its Dunedin student area... It is what it is..
Very clean, nice staff
A little close to the road which was pretty busy
Very good
Excellent host. So friendly and welcoming. And best of all it was pet friendly..
The motel was exactly what we needed for the night. The room had recently been renovated and was warm, clean and cosy. The location was also close to a lot of food options.
It was as expected.
room was lovely, cosy and functional for my needs. Was fairly quiet even with some loud functions on nearby with students. Was within walking distance of where my function was.
bathroom could have been a little cleaner, especially the toilet but that may also be more to do with age and previous longterm use of blue toilet cleaner
Location and staff were great
The heaters for heating and when turned on it tripped the power so had to have them on low which wasn’t much heat and the bathroom needs a heater and a fan
Lovely cleam accommodation. Location was perfect to alot of eateries and the Baaa which is a good local bat. Motel staff extremely friendly and very accommodating, nothing was a problem. Thanks guys Paddy and Kirstie Bohan Chch
N/a
Location, parking, friendly staff. Pet friendly, although we didn't take a pet this time. We Thought it was cold at first, but after being informed about the fan heater tucked away in the wardrobe it got quite toasty.
Shower hot water pressure limited. Toilet seat broken. Gap under door created a cold draught. Bottom of shower badly scratched.
Great location - off street parking and dog friendly.
A little dated
Everything was great, spacious clean room, great facilities, easy walk to Uni.
Someone playing basketball at 3am but that's not the motel's fault! :-)
Great customer servcie
Close to eateries, shopped bar
Unit being on the main road was very noisy.
Location was OK. We didn’t have breakfast.
Bathroom hooks and cleanliness.
Location, comfy & warm
Inadequate parking. Large truck parked in the middle of Carpark and vans to the side. Made it difficult to get our vehicle in & out.
Free washing machine, $2 for dryer.
Pillows again should be replaced
Good
Noise
Good location, close to food, helpful and friendly staff.
Street noise
Very Friendly staff, tidy room, good location handy walk to city centre
Beds were a little cold in the winter - required use of the electric blanket during the night
Pet friendly clean and great bed
Road noise and rowdy student party . Toilet set broken
The motel was perfect for my two day stay. Comfy bed, good facilities. Lovely friendly staff and an easy location for a fast takeaway. All within a short stroll. Botanical gardens nearby.
Party town. Thursday drunken revelry from a house across the street. I’m assuming students. Not the Motels fault in any way, and yes the partiers all finally fell asleep. Well, we did the same thing as youngsters.
Central location, close to Castle Street Good communication from staff, clean room. Basic but sufficient accommodation. Accommodated my late check in.
Right the student area so you could expect some noise. They warned me of this and provided airplugs.
Good parking. Great location near the Forsyth Barr Stadium. Lots of food places nearby.
The shower needed some mould treatment and the handset was leaking which meant the pressure was low. That was the only issue. Otherwise it was a perfectly fine motel unit.
Great room, tidy. Lovely staff. Off-street parking and location great.
Clean and tidy easy walking distance to city
The student party’s across rd
Compact, close to university
Nothing
It had a mini kitchen which was great
A bit noisy as on a main road
An older dated motel in the suburbs. Free off street parking and EV chargers available. Apartment was upstairs and as it was raining, there is no undercover walkway to the room.
An old dated motel, in the suburbs. Bedroom was a bit tight with room - would be better is the single bed was not in the room. It’s on a busy road, which the noise is noticeable inside the room. But more noticeable was the noise generated by other guests moving around on the walkway outside our apartment and carrying on late into the night around the motel. It was a bit concerning as we were worried about the security and any damage to our hire car. A couple of fast food outlets nearby, other wise it’s a drive to good restaurants and cafes.
Close to everything we wanted to do nice and quiet. Everything was perfect staff were great when you arrived
We liked everything our room was perfect warm as.
Super friendly and welcoming. Great to be able to bring our 2 little dogs. Will definitely be visiting again.
Central to where I needed to be. Warm and quiet room Very friendly staff
Very tired interior. Grounds need lots of maintenance.
Location of our room next to main road, literally separated by the foot path. Student housing across the road. Bottle shop close proximity with students walking past room all day. Staff member walked in to our room without knocking at 7:30 am
Large studio room, ground floor so good accessibility for us. Comfy bed and clean bathroom.
position
noise level but it was saint patrcks day
Its proximity to the botanical gardens, museum, food outlets and town.
Location, price point, comfortable. A the pressure in the shower is amazing
Very helpful staff, kindly upgrading our room, so that we were in a quiet position away from the main road. This was hugely appreciated as I had a hospital appointment and an early start.
Nothing,
Free parking
It didn’t have the room we booked
Friendly staff, comfortable room
Location. Unfortunately the noise from the busy road & adjacent students flats partying was excessive
Very comfy bed and spacious lounge, friendly staff.
Slightly noisy location, traffic noise
Friendly staff, pet friendly, located close to sports facilities, good price, single bed separated from main bed, nice planting, plenty of parking
Bathrooms needed an update, not very nice outlook over run down student flat
It was last minute, we needed accommodation so grateful for that.
Our room was right on street, so road traffic noise, noise from students walking by, screaming yelling all hours. Completely understand this is Dunedin but very hard to sleep in downstairs room on the street.
Location and price
Basic and very very noisy
There was plenty of room
Motel is very central. Rooms are spacious. Great selection of Sky channels. Good sized kitchenette with hotplates. Very friendly hosts.
Parking very tight.
Komfortowy apartament z salonem i łazienką na parterze i sypialnia na pietrze . W łazience kosmetyki i suszarka do włosów. Parking bezpośrednio przed apartamentem. W okolicy kila restauracji, pyszne burgery wege, które polecił nam personel obiektu. Jeśli chcecie skorzystać z płatnego śniadania trzeba je zamówić dzień wcześniej.
Clean and fresh
Nothing
Everyhting was really good. I was visiting family as as the uni so it was perfect. Good parking and very close to cafes and shops etc. The room itself and just about everything we needed. It was very adequate for the two of us.
On our last day there were some renovations done in the unit below and it started at about 7:30am which we thought was a bit early. Also the heater didn't appear to work in the room but the room itself was relatively warm anyway
Lovely stay, staff were extra caring, friendly and helpful. Great room! Wonderful, relaxing stay.
It was a surprise. In the student area. Cramped parking, but adequate
Nothing. A great place to sleep.
Lovely Receptionist, very pleasant.
The bathroom wall behind the toilet needed a bit of a spruce up
Location excellent
How hot the rooms were.
Near to university
Really nice staff! Lovely people and great location.
The road noise was a bit loud but sleeping with ear plugs helps.
Allie and Lindsey are excellent and efficient yet easy-going hosts. Due to some confusion over pay dates and places, I initially paid twice for my accommodation. Allie spotted it before I did and she and Lindsey have done their utmost to ensure that I am refunded accordingly. Storage of my baggage from 10.00 check-out time until early afternoon was no problem.
The motel could do with an upgrade inside
Dirty carpet. Needed redecorating
Nice and central, clean, comfy bed.
Repairs were half finished.
