This was our second stay at Budget Inn. The room was comfortable and better than our last stay. Unfortunately, their ice machine was not working which is important for long travellers. Having a supply of ice for guests in such a situation does not seem like a difficult task. Fortunately we were able to get ice from a guest without travelling to a store. They saved the day and made the stay enjoyable. Except there was no telephone and we didn’t have a working mobile.

Carpet in room had many satins and looked dirty. Paint chipped and peeling on door and floor moldings. Bathroom door would not close properly unless you lifted up on the door. No screen on the window. Smoke detector base was there but no smoke detector. Coffee cans all over outside for smoke butts. Advertised that there is a pool but upon check in we were told "NO" there is not a pool. It would appear that some the feed back ratings might be suspect from what our experience was of this property.

Floors were dirty, lightbulb missing in room, tiles in bathroom falling apart and bathroom was uncleanly and very sorry with mold mildew. If you want a place to crash for the night that’s cheap tou get what you pay for. They also didn’t monitor the b’fast in their lounge so there wasn’t really anything to eat.

This property is a dump. I owe it to all potential customers to tell them that the bedding appeared to be slept in, the lights did not work, the blind was broken and couldn’t be raised, the walls were smeared, hole in the wall, broken safety latch on door, unsavoury characters loitering outside, faulty electrical plug on lamp, gross dirty kitchenette with no lights, stained furniture. There was hair and dirt in all the corners and the ceiling was stained and dirty. The room was nothing at all like the pictures on Expedia, hence I will be expecting a full refund from Expedia for their advertising of this “partner”. This establishment is a total embarrassment to us as Canadians. There were international tourists there who were appalled at how filthy it is. Breakfast “included” a few pieces of bread, cereal, but the milk was all gone.

I’ve never seen a hotel room in this condition. The carpet was filthy and peeling from the floor, there were holes in the walls, the toilet was not attached to the floor and the windows were filthy and moldy. The front desk staff was also so unfriendly, but she did allow us to check in early to get ready for the wedding we were in town for, so that was positive. We decided to leave the wedding early, pack up our things and check into a different hotel. The thought of sleeping in those beds was too much.

The stay was average and we basically got what we pay for. But my main concern was the mood of the clerk who served us. It is hard for me to believe that a position of direct contact with customers, could accept a person who I did not see smile to us in days. She definitely does not give a good PR to your business. Anyone can see she does not like her job.

After hours check in was terrible service. Took them 15 mins to come to the front counter and left us waiting out in the cold. Then they were just rude to us making us feel as if we inconvenienced them. The young woman spoke so fast and mumbled all her words we had to ask to repeat our room number 3 times. Our room wasn’t very clean and the shower didn’t work. When we complained about it they gave us a downgraded smaller room with a smaller bed even though we paid for the bigger room/bed and our second room had a blanket on the bed that looked like it was taken out of the trash it was so full of holes. The “continental breakfast” consisted of boxed cereal with no milk to pour on it. Overall a very uncomfortable and disappointing stay.

The location is convenient while traveling, though I would not recommend staying with a family. The rooms are non smoking though there are tons of smoking tables and chairs just outside the rooms. The sheets were clean though the rest of the room was in really rough shape. Damaged or missing baseboards and moulding, dirty/mouldy grout in the bathroom, no plug for bath, dirty stained carpets, broken furniture, etc. however, it did have a huge big screen tv for watching tv and a pleasant view outside the windows. I guess you get what you pay for

Junkie stole my 3k generator off my railer by coming through a fence in the back lot. The cameras for security did not cover the the whole parking lot so no video. Had to go to Harolds Restauraunt next door to get video. They knew this was a risk as the junkies hang around there all the time and breach the property whenever they want.

Customer service was the best part, staff were very friendly and welcoming, and efficient. Breakfast was toast, eggo or cereal, juice box and yogurt cup. Price point was okay but comparable to others that have a pool.

The property was a little tired looking. Main staircases leading up to second floors had very ragged carpet. The room next to mine had an air conditioner sitting outside room. The lobby offered up breakfast which consisted of cereal, toast, yogurt,frozen waffles, coffee,tea and juice boxes. It did the job. Overall it was as the name stated...budget. I would recommend this place if you just wanted a place to sleep. There were rooms with kitchenettes but I didn't see inside them. It was right off of the Trans Canada Hwy so easy access. Overall I will give it a 3.5 star rating.

I stayed 4 nights. The last night and the final morning there was only barely warm water, not enough for a shower. I asked for a kettle on check in but it never arrived. The breakfast was a choice of cereal, toast, drinking juice boxes, or toaster waffles and coffee. Very basic. BUT the price was definitely right! Less than $100/night plus taxes. $435 all in for all 4 nights. Ask for a room away from the road! Note: stairs only to 2nd floor.
