You get what you pay for. Advertise laundry services but you had to leave your laundry outside the door and they would do it. Wasn’t sure if this was an extra cost as the person at the desk was new and wasn’t sure. I done my own at the local.

We just needed a one night stay in a motel & we have stayed at Braemar Motor Inn a few years ago and were happy with it so booked in for the one night. The owner was very friendly. Our room was very clean and tidy, a comfy bed with clean sheets. No noise to keep us awake. We were very happy with our stay there and would recommend it. The building is old but everything works fine.

Dont judge a book by its cover. We had a very peaceful stay and our opinions of the exterior were quickly humbled. The interior had been updated, and it catered for all our absolute essentials. The longterm neighbour's were friendly and considerate of our spaces and helpful with advice. We had absolutely no complaints about anything.

This should never be advertised on your platform. Shame on you. You guys are facilitating people getting ripped off and and you should be reimbursing everyone that uses your platform to book this horrendous motel. I won’t be using Expedia again.

Would recommend that Expedia makes clear that this is a motel for the homeless. This made us slightly nervous with patched people around. However having said this our room was clean & the facilities were good and we had a good stay without any issues like some other reviewers had. The office lady was pleasant and helpful..

The only thing we liked was it had sky, even though the colour on it was dreadful. The bed was passable and okay comfort. As for the pillows they were like dead weights and so heavy and uncomfortable. One part of the curtain was torn, the other part was dirty, the shower curtain was disgusting and stained at the bottom and when you had the shower going the water did not drain so you were standing in a pool of water. On the front door is a curtain, that was so grubby! I thought Braemar Motor Lodge had standards, but not this one. It kind of looked like they might have clients that are in emergency housing. Everything needed a big overhaul. There was an odd smell as well when we walked in. The cooking facilities look dangerous, one of the elements was up in the air and it looked like it wouldnt be safe to use. It also needs more than 1 single power point in the kitchen, as you cant have the toaster and jug plugged in at same time. Run down vehicles and shopping carts were not good welcoming mat. We couldn't wait to get out of there.

Full on emergency housing clients

I was too scared to stay after arriving there - I had booked in and paid without reading the reviews. The place was full of Emergency Housing and I did not feel safe there. The person who ran the place was lovely and I understand why she allows them there but I ended up sleeping on a friend's floor rather than stay.

Disgusting out of date & shabby, only one heat point in the kitchen for microwave, toaster & jug some lights not working, had to empty own rubbish cotainer, no heating, no extacter fan in bathroon, shower doesn't drain leaving 20mls water on tray. Too expensive for condition, couldnt recomend it to anyone. Shouldn't be allowed to operate a motel in that condition. I'm very surprised than you maket a motel in that condition. Barry Hill.
