Nice hotel in central location in Dunedin. Beds could be more comfortable. You have to reserve parking ahead of time or you have to pay for street parking. We had a nice big corner room and tried room service which had great food and snacks. The breakfast buffet also has a great variety.

Great location, comfortable hotel, bathroom cleaning could be better, particularly in shower. Secure parking an issue, tried to book in advance and all gone. This is an annoying issue as I prefer to park in hotel securely.
