Not enough parking
Our room was adequate. It was not clear that self parking at the hotel needed to be reserved in advance. We were directed to a parking garage on the next street which was all full! Street parking was limited to 1 hour durig he day. Quite frustrating! We were able to park on the street overnight 2 blocks away near our daughter's apartment. Since parking was very limited during the day, it was best to leave the city and return after 6pm when parking is free. Next time we won't stay in Central Dunedin.

Pretty average for a superior king room. Basic everything, small bathroom, small shower cubical. Room was functional for a one night stay but no where near worth the rate charged (due to Pink being in town) Staff friendly and helpful although no warning of surcharge being applied for using credit card for payment.

Disappointing to be advised that there was no parking available and when asked where would be the best area to park my car overnight that was safe I was advised just wherever. No assistance offered. Check in was unfriendly. The room was pretty average for over $400
