Questions about Motel One Edinburgh-Royal
What time is check-in and check-out at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Motel One Edinburgh-Royal allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Motel One Edinburgh-Royal have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Motel One Edinburgh-Royal 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 Motel One Edinburgh-Royal?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. 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 Motel One Edinburgh-Royal?
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.
