Rooms are basic but beds are often comfortable; some report quiet stays. Facilities are limited, with no elevator and many rooms lacking microwaves. Overall, it's a simple, low-cost stopover if your expectations are modest.

This is a fairly priced three star accommodation. It's a little older building but it's functional. It has a pool, but if you have kids tell them an hour or two before so we can warm it up. Plenty of free parking. Bathrooms clean, best bang for the buck

The price was great, but the room had a strong scent in it. It wasn't necessarily a bad scent, but it was kind of overwhelming. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. The fridge was very cold. :) :) :) The pool was unavailable. :(

The property is a bit dated and the rooms do not have microwaves, only a mini fridge. Guests need to share one microwave in the common area which is an inconvenience. Staff will come knocking even with "do not disturb" sign on the door which is rude especially when a person is sleeping. It\'s cheap and you get what you pay for. We have stayed here on multiple occasions. One week, the key card system to get in the rooms was down, had to either leave room open or have staff let you in each time and didn\'t receive any kind of discount. After that the cable TV went out for 2 days and again, they would not offer any discounted rate. Staff just said "These things happen sometimes." 😡 Idk, if you are on a tight budget, don\'t mind some inconveniences and when something isn\'t working on the property - oh well - then this might be suitable for you.

Only positive was the bed was okay & bedding was nice and we paid $62. Otherwise, breakfast choices were: pop tarts, white bread with grape jelly or fruit loops and apple juice. No fruit options, every option was terrible for you! Room was not clean & smelled musty. Says there is a pool but it was closed. No microwave or coffee pot in rooms.

I called ahead to say I would be checking in late, and to request a first floor room as I am 82 yo and had two large dogs. When I arrived, they had not saved me a first floor room. The receptionist/owner acknowledged the promise and apologized, but that did not change the fact I had to lug two crates and luggage up very steep stairs, not to mention going up and down for two days with the dogs. The room itself was satisfactory, but the “breakfast” was minimal and uninviting. This is an old hotel refurbished but still pretty shabby looking. It is conveniently located.

Her feet was out. Hotel stink. No elevators. Room stink. Doors slam when shutting couldn’t sleep. Hotel room key did not work. No laundry room. No stove. No microwave. Reminded of my last day like I didn’t know what it was. Bored that Applebees was disgusting. The laundry mat is a rip off have cash perfectly set up for you to spend more money. 25 mins from the plant. Not near Monticello plant at all the worse hotel experience in my life won’t ever stay there again. Lesson learned so you don’t do it. It’s cheap for a reason super 8 or days inn Monticello are way better.

Property is in poor condition. Room was small outdated and not clean. Front and back doors were open for airflow. Questioned if mice came in. Would NOT recommend this place. Poor service and far from friendly. Was on second floor no elevator only steps and they were steep and only one person could go up the stairs at a time. Made 2 day reservation but only stayed one night.

Hotel has a "by the hour" feel and reputation. Hard to find staff and the front desk and the lady was not friendly. She was lecturing housekeeping and then a guest in the common hallways for all to hear. Rooms are very basic, tv is small, no microwave in the room. Bed was comfortable. Definitely am old property in need of some TLC. Price was right for what I needed and the room.was quiet.

This place is old and rundown. It has a strong odor. The AC and bathroom fan sounded like jet planes taking off. Our king room turned into two doubles bc of a “plumbing issue.” The grout and paint were all cracked and peeling. Sheets were a black print…that’s kind of sus. The price was less than others in the area-for a reason!

There is a reason this place is called “Budget” Host Inn. No toilet paper in the room, Cheetos in the frame of the bed. Tub was dirty. Holes in the walls from where pictures obviously once were. The refrigerator placed on a small folding table (that was a new one). This is one of those places that you stay at if you really just don’t care about the condition and just need a place to crash for the night.

Dining
Breakfast is very limited, with reports of cold cereal, toast, and few choices, and seating space is small. A rare comment praised it as adequate for light eaters.

Breakfast consisted of toast, fruit loops, and cheap coffee. This facility is a former super 8 that hasn't been updated since it was built in the 80s. We saw one staff member at check in after we called for service on the lobby phone. Property seemed to be clean but the old blankets and striped sheets were just odd for a hotel. It was ok for a cheap one night stay but next time i think ill spend the extra $50 on something nicer.

The property was not kept on nice. The outside has no curb appeal at all! The towels were in bad condition. I would not use what we were given to any company coming to my house. Staff not friendly not able to get even a good morning from them. Food for continental breakfast was not good. One kind of cereal which was raison brand--what if you don't like raisons? Only white bread for toast, 1 oatmeal cereal packet in the drawer. Rooms are outdated and bed mattress very soft and pillows hard and bulky. TV hard to operate

If all you need to do is sleep, than maybe stay here, but then that is questionable. Rooms are terribly old, and dated. There were no bed spreads on the beds, I dry my dog off with better towels than they have. The plus side is it is cheap, coffee in the morning was decent and the shower had decent water pressure. I would not bring my spouse or my children here. There is no smoking in the hotel but it seems most of their guest smoke and you can smell it in the hotel.

I often stayed here in this hotel when I'm traveling for Official business trip. The Manager is always timely from check in until I check out. Getting Rides use the City business they'll pick you up. Their charges are under $5. Easy as 1,2,3... The cleanings is perfect. They have nice pool, great breakfast for light eating, am Air conditioner, refrigerator nice flat screen tv, nice view from outside and study table. The hallway is always cleaned both up and down stairs. Thank you for making my stay very pleasant here. Blessings.

Only positive was the bed was okay & bedding was nice and we paid $62. Otherwise, breakfast choices were: pop tarts, white bread with grape jelly or fruit loops and apple juice. No fruit options, every option was terrible for you! Room was not clean & smelled musty. Says there is a pool but it was closed. No microwave or coffee pot in rooms.

Staff was so helpful and friendly. Older motel, but clean and a great price. I would stay there again.

The property is adequate but even at the low(er) price the value is not there. The property needs a refresh and there is no breakfast so that should be taken off the website.

The trip was very poor. The hotels pool was not accessible breakfast in the morning was garbage no milk. It was kind of a crummy place to stay. I will never go back to that place again.
