Sahara Motel manager Paul Ryder has had enough of rowdy student parties near his business. PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSON"Out of control" student parties are causing motel guests to check out early and leave the city in droves, a frustrated Dunedin motelier says. While police have praised behaviour in the student area in recent days, Sahara Motel manager Paul Ryder said this year was the worst he had experienced in terms of noisy, messy student parties. His George St motel is next door to Union St West, which is home to several flats. A police spokeswoman said police were notified at 11.13pm of a large party on Union St West.
