Lovely folk. Appreciated the welcoming text prior to arrival. Room was all one could need and very clean! Not a frequent user, so it could have helped to have had the fridge switched on - or told it was off. No I didn't notice for a day and a bit. Liked that they gave an eco responsible option for towels/waste bags etc

i think that the TV channels offered are too limited. Why not have more Sky channels, e.g. CNN, BBC, more Sky sport and movies, etc. With much else to do on these cold evenings, they should make watching TV pleasurable. .

Disappointing stay

Really unhappy with the room that was allocated, a cabin away from the main building which was at best two star standard, bath room had mold and loose floor tiles and a stale drain smell. It was a queen bed although we thought we we were getting a king bed, not even a motel guide in the room and wifi was patchy. Very disappointing.

Great place to stay downtown Dunedin

Very handy location to visit Dunedin and close to city surroundings. Family friendly and parking onsite. Very spacious well equipped rooms. The only downside was that there was no onsite restaurant. But there are places within walking distance and the hotel across the road has a restaurant. They even send the bill into the hotel where the payment could be made at the front office! Staff are great and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay over there and would recommend the place to a friend!

We were very impressed with the service at Commodore Motel - they even loaned us an umbrella when we got caught out with the weather. Our room was clean and tidy, and the bathroom was nice.
