The Victoria Hotel Dunedin
The room was clean, but the smell was bad and outside it was really loud because it was in the city.

Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
They said off street parking aas available but never indicated at anytime this would cost another $25. Poor communication

Dunedin Holiday Park & Motels
Cabin no TV. Might be good for summer but the subfloor doesn’t have insulation in it, if it does it’s very old and to thin. The floor is like ice regardless of the heater being on for hours and hours
