Braemar Motor Inn

Location good - facilities old Good location close to the centre of New Plymouth, the museum and Coastal walk. Facilities are rather dated. Basic but adequate kitchen. Shower was way too strong and the water pressure couldn't be controlled.

Building and furnishings a bit tired. But good cheap accom for one night. Bed not very comfortable it rolls in to the middle.

The location suited us perfectly.

The only thing we liked was it had sky, even though the colour on it was dreadful. The bed was passable and okay comfort. As for the pillows they were like dead weights and so heavy and uncomfortable. One part of the curtain was torn, the other part was dirty, the shower curtain was disgusting and stained at the bottom and when you had the shower going the water did not drain so you were standing in a pool of water. On the front door is a curtain, that was so grubby! I thought Braemar Motor Lodge had standards, but not this one. It kind of looked like they might have clients that are in emergency housing. Everything needed a big overhaul. There was an odd smell as well when we walked in. The cooking facilities look dangerous, one of the elements was up in the air and it looked like it wouldnt be safe to use. It also needs more than 1 single power point in the kitchen, as you cant have the toaster and jug plugged in at same time. Run down vehicles and shopping carts were not good welcoming mat. We couldn't wait to get out of there.

Absolutely disgusting, smelley and mouldy , I left after 20 minutes , so grubby and unhealthy, won't give refund, extremely horrible atmosphere, cigarettes everywhere, can't believe it is advertised to stay in , shame on the 3 star review , very misleading

Excellent location as easy walking distance to waterfront, shops and parks.
