The hotel was exactly what I wanted, really comfy and easy to relax in. The ensuite was accessible with grab rails and a rubber floor, making it convenient for those needing extra assistance. The service was nice, with comfortable and clean rooms, though there were instances of nervous and pushy behavior from the staff. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to bars and restaurants in central Dunedin. The dining experience was good but could have been improved with better service and timely delivery. Overall, a great stay for relaxation and convenience.

The hotel room was spacious and set up perfectly for our family of 5, but unfortunately, it didn't come with a microwave to heat our own meals. Despite the warm temperature even with the aircon on full blast, the balcony overlooking the waterfront was a nice touch.
