Sehr laut
Lage war gut, Personal freundlich.
Während des Aufenthaltes war direkt vor dem Hotel das Socca Turnier mit höllischem Lärm. (Gebrülle, wummernde Technomusik), zweimal bis 23 Uhr, einmal bis 23.30 Uhr mit Lärm der Fans…

That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Motel One Essen

What time is check-in and check-out at Motel One Essen?

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 Essen allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Motel One Essen?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Does Motel One Essen have Wi-Fi?

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

Does Motel One Essen 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 Essen?

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 Essen?

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.
