AndreaNew ZealandEverything was as expected, good overnight accomodation, clean, tidy and warm.
There was no hot water for the shower, we stay and left early to go skiing and it just wasn't working which was a bit disappointing!

- 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 Forgotten World Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Forgotten World Motel?
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 Forgotten World Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Forgotten World Motel?
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.
Is breakfast included at Forgotten World Motel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Forgotten World Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Forgotten World Motel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Forgotten World Motel 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 Forgotten World Motel?
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.
