Molly & the team were super accommodating and lovely to meet. Always wonderful to chat to and super helpful. My 1 year old son and I travelled alone and her and their trainee kindly helped me with luggage and settling in. This is my first time in Dunedin and what a delight it was staying here. Staff are amazing. Family friendly; clean, warm and close to shops in walking distance. Definitely recommend and will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Alexis team for making our trip that more enjoyable.

Great stay at Alexis Motor Lodge. The accommodation was very good and had everything you would need. One of the cleanest motel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Location was excellent to explore Dunedin. Had one of the rooms at the back of the motel and it was quiet. Robyn and staff were very helpful and made it a great stay. Would definitely stay there again.

The property was in a perfect location for our stay - walking distance to bars and restaurants and the Forsyth Barr stadium. Robyn’s communication prior to check in was excellent - advising of the current road works nearby and directions to the property and parking. The road works didn’t affect our stay at all. All staff we came into contact with were helpful and polite and nothing was a problem - we asked for a couple of extra towels and sheets and this was seen to immediately. Would recommend if you are looking for budget friendly, clean friendly city centre accommodation.

Oh.... thank you so much Kerry- we try so hard to "get it right" for our visitors, and it was a thrill to see you acknowledge this.... some guest, can only find the faults... which is upsetting, so we are thrilled that we "ticked all the boxes" for you :-) Very Sincerely Robyn
