The towel rail in the bathroom fell off when we went in there, the guy came & looked at it & then glued it back on, not sure how long that would last. The room was tired with areas if neglect, door to bathroom dud not shut properly.

Unassuming little place, but well worth the stay
I little bit hidden entryway to the Motel off of Carroll, but worth a stay in the value for the price paid.
Clean & comfortable. Not the hotels fault, but there was a noisy neighbor on one of my nights
I would certainly stay again whenever in Dunedin

Not really a motel.
This is not really a motel. They have a first come first served small car park and the rooms are more like a hotel. Wifi was poor but made up for by free washing and drying facilities. Room wasn’t properly cleaned (there was a paper, bottle and dust under the bed for example) and I hit my head on the badly placed microwave. Price was the saving grace.

Extremely kind reception! Something went wrong with the booking and they had only prepared for me to arrive the next day. I was almost prepared to find somewhere else to stay the night, but they prepared their break room for a single night and let me stay there while also giving me a refund.

I don't know how this got 3 stars. We've stayed in far nicer for the same cost. In a room for 4 there were only 3 off most things in the kitchenette. The mugs are stained, chipped and cracked too. The room smelled of fried food and looks like it was furnished from a charity shop. The blanket on our bed had dried on brown crispy dirt and the carpets are dirty. Would not recommend.

Sound issues
Sound seems to travel through the walls and floor of the complex pretty easily and there was a family with young kids running around and screaming till after midnight that kept me up plus other guests.
