Location was great as close to the airport which I needed.
Followed up with a phone call to me when not checked in at agreed time.

Payment & property

Paid when you book, not at the desk.

Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.

Please note that the cafe opening hours are from 07:00 to 20:00 from Monday - Thursday, and from 07:00 to 15:30 on Fridays.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Carramar Motor Inn

What time is check-in and check-out at Carramar Motor Inn?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Carramar Motor Inn allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Carramar Motor Inn?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Carramar Motor Inn have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Carramar Motor Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Carramar Motor Inn?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
