The room was warm and reasonably spacious. It was clean apart from a couple of hairs on surfaces in the bathroom & some minor repairs were needed on the shower door. The bed was quite comfortable but had a noticeable ridge down the middle which made the edges slope away somewhat. Overall,how ever, our experience was positive and we would definitely stay here again.

A very nice hotel in a convenient location for Dunedin CBD. The Whittaker's Chocolate was a nice touch as hotels and motels don't seem to leave a cookie or chocolate for guests anymore. The bee was very comfortable and the bathroom was super clean. The toilet was a bit noisy after flushing but it's no big deal, unless you go to the bathroom in the night. It can be a bit irritating. Internet was good, and plenty of toiletries, tea, coffee, and towels. Thank you for realising women need more than one towel :)
A nice welcome
