The property is older and perhaps outdated, but it was clean, very convenient, and the staff could not have been nicer. If you are looking for a luxurious stay, this is not the place for you, but for all others, it serves the purpose well and is conveniently located in the octagon, but not noisy.

Great location in Dunedin, plenty of eateries within close walking distance, on-site parking a bonus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are of a good size and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but totally adequate and less than the cost of a fancy coffee elsewhere ... great value.

Good city centre location

The room was a good size and the facilities for food preparation were reasonable, with microwave, kettle, fridge and so on included. Plenty of TV stations available. It was useful to have a small range of items available for breakfast in the restaurant and just pay for those as we checked out. The best thing is being so close to the city centre.

Better on the inside than the outside.

Motel is very convenient tor dunedin centre. The inside is clean and comfortable however the outside gives the appearance of needing some care and attention. We arrived early and the place was not busy, If all rooms were occupied then parking would be a problem.

Staff went above and beyond the call of duty.

I got Covid-19 at the start of my stay. The motel staff went above and beyond the call of duty to support me during my isolation. I didn't get to enjoy much of the benefit of the central location, but I did enjoy a spacious, clean room with a small kitchen during my seven day isolation period. The staff called daily to check on me, offered any help I needed and cared for my welfare. I would return again to 97 Motel Moray as my first choice if I visit Dunedin again. I am a Canadian who was on a trip partly academic research and partly holiday.

I have stayed here before, and loved it. The same applies this time, but I had a room facing the street, which was very noisy, especially with students coming home from nightclubbing in the early hours. But the staff were fantastic, and I'd certainly stay again, but next time I'd ask for a room away from the street.
