Motel One Brussels
Room was clean and staff were very helpful. Difficult to get to the lobby from stairs (no ramp). Surprised that the rooms did not have phones. Had to go to reception to get toilet paper. Lastly, no coffee maker in the room; having complementary coffee at the lobby would be bettet

We enjoyed our stay here while visiting Belgium for the first time. They upgraded us to a larger room since we have expedia VIP. Highly recommend booking a room looking out the main street side as it’s a pretty nice view. It was a good offer to have two mini bar items per day when not using the room ...
