Irene

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My partner and I booked a studio at Amross Motel and it was really spacious with an ensuite and fully functional kitchenette. The room was clean and bed was really comfortable. The linen was of high quality, similar to what you'd get in a 4-5 star hotel. Barry and Donna (the owners) were amazing hosts. They were always happy to offer suggestions on things to do and places to visit. They went out of their way to make our stay really comfortable. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Dunedin next time.
