MARI

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was my third time in Dunedin, and my second time staying there. The location was good, the room was spacious and relaxing, and the sheets and towels were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was also delicious. I was especially impressed by the cheerful smiles of the reception staff. All the staff were always friendly. However, when I returned to my room at 4pm, it hadn't been cleaned yet, so it would have been better if the room cleaning time had been a little earlier and if the area under the window frames had been wiped down.
