NataliaMore pillows on the bed. Don’t advertise French balcony as a balcony. A balcony is a platform you can step out into. The luxury double room we booked did not have a proper balcony. We felt this was false advertising.

Parfait séjour ! Hôtel très propre et classe! Personnel très sympathique. Petit déjeuner top! Proche du centre à pied!

What we’d check for you here

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- 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 Martin Empire
What time is check-in and check-out at Martin Empire?
Check-in is from 2:00 AM. 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 Martin Empire allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Martin Empire?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Martin Empire 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.
Can I check in late at Martin Empire?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 AM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Martin Empire?
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.
