The desk staff was very welcoming. They gave us discount certificates to use at the bar and we made good use of those. The bar staff and all staff were very nice. We liked the room. It was big and just right for a getaway by the water. Everything was clean and the place looked like a resort rather than a motel. We enjoyed the free breakfast at the restaurant but dined elsewhere for our other meals. I would like to try dinner at the restaurant, it has a lovely view. Next time. Dunedin has a lot to offer if you don't need a beach.
