Our hosts were friendly and Sue showed us our room. We had a bedroom. Bathroom was a good size. Kitchen was equipped with basic appliances. No dishwasher, washer/dryer (there is a coin operated washer and dryer near the reception office) and no AC. We were given a fan and it helped. Perfect location. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. All in all, we had a nice stay.

Best motel for this price range in Dunedin. I did a thorough search of all the hotels in this price range and all the others looked very tired and old fashioned. The rooms here look very new or freshly renovated so everything was perfect. Very spacious and had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, room was warm and Smart TV was great addition. Very clean and friendly service. Location was nice an central to everything too. I will stay here next time I am in Dunedin for sure. Top marks!
