Great size room
Pros:

Great location and view.

Cons:

Breakfast is not worth having. We had a Jimmy Cooks in Greymoutb which was excellent but sadly the one in Dunedin is not worth going to.

Also they unexpectedly wanted to charge us for overnight parking despite no mention of it at booking or sign in.
