The Commodore Motel was clean and spacious and much better than what I was expecting in a "motel". The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were large and had potential to sleep families and larger groups. It was a pleasant stay in the beautiful town of Dunedin.

This is an old motel. Quite dated. Plastic shower recess. Also located on busy road with quite a bit of noise at night. Staff friendly and helpful. But second day servicing of room poor. For half the price it might have been ok.
