10/10 Excellent
"Situated in an ideal position close to St Kilda and St Clair beaches, as well as the South Dunedin shopping centres. Although not new, the property is well maintained and spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and helpful, so I have stayed here several times over the years. My room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay."

"Comfortable bed and warm room. Parking was handy and we were happy to pay $15 for the secure carpark. The motel room was in need of the maintenance man spending a day fixing things. Loose taps, mouldy leaking shower, mattress protector was stained, patches on the walls. The rooms need some touch ups done."
