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.

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.

Shower pressure was great, and bedding was clean. There was a fridge in the room, which is always nice. The room had grimy marks all over, as well as some shoddy repairs. Honestly a bit expensive for the condition of the room.

Im sorry to write this, as it was my mistake booking this place last minute. Pros - Cheap and close to the city. Cons - Its rough. A lot of WINZ housing tenants staying there. Noisy plumbing means you hear everything. Wasnt given WIFI password. Flies in the room, and i slept on top of sheets cos i felt i would get bitten.

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.

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..

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.
