What guests think

Reviews of Budget Inn Motel describe a very mixed, budget stay: some guests found it quiet, cheap, and appreciated friendly front desk staff, while many others reported dirty rooms, worn facilities, maintenance problems, and strong smoke or odor issues.

Guests often describe dated rooms with weak or broken air-conditioning, nonworking TVs or lamps, clogged showers, and occasional Wi‑Fi issues. Service experiences vary, with reports of unattended late-night check-in, housekeeping not provided during longer stays, and deposit or refund disputes. The location is convenient to the highway, though some noted traffic noise and limited parking or no elevator. Expect a very basic, low-cost stay with trade-offs in upkeep.

Worst property to stay in - the front desk lady was rude and won't even let you park your vehicle on the property. If there was a option for zero stars i would give it

This property has limited parking, inside my room there were no windows and the ac unit worked very poorly. There were a few broken items in my room like a light lamp and my shower rode, which was tapped to the wall. Cleaning once a week. I had to supply my own toilet paper. Very poor stay.

Pictures didn’t show how dirty and under maintained this place is. Check in office smelled like cigarette butts and staff did not really speak English. No elevator so we had to carry two 40 lbs luggages up on our own. The pathway upstairs was soft when stepping on, inside the room was quite shocking, home use hangers were filthy, water doesn’t really drain and pipe is smelly. They did not bother to clean edges of everything (chairs, chests, fridge…) so you see dirt everywhere. Hair and stains and molds on bed sheets/pillow cases. You would wonder if they ever washed bed coverings and doubt if their washer is never cleaned either. I got bug bites and my throat started to itch just 20mins staying in the room. It was too late for us to cancel this reservation or we would run. It’s our first time worrying about getting sick or bringing back bugs with us. Terrible, horrible experience!

They room inside the property is very old and provides the bare minimum. The furniture gives second hand store. The bathroom walls were filthy, the towels were old and ratty. The bedding appeared unchanged or stained. I slept on top of the blanket I brought. The actual property looks old and unkept, the upstairs walkway looks and feels like it will give way any moment. Parking was very limited. It was a really bad choice for a stay but we came in at 11pm and everything else in the area was sold out. I highly do not recommend.

Roaches, no ice. Worn down too run down for the price. They didn’t bother the clean the microwave before they gave it and the non smoking room smelled like smoke and body Odor. Had to find fragrance just to tolerate the smell and change it. There are no real comforts but the wifi and the refrigerator was a plus as it gets very cold and the location was convenient to the highway.

I had a busy day on May 5, so I unfortunately arrived at 1:10am. The office was open and signs said 24 hours, but there was no staff there to check me into my room. I had to sleep in my car for the first night's stay. I was able to check in the following day, and the room was fine.

Laundry like sandpaper. No coffee at room or desk. TV lost audio on every channel after 3-5 minutes. Locked out of room on trip to automobile and had to have card key reset. Strange growth from sink vent port that might gain sentience. No extras except one extra blanket should the heat go out. Budget truly describes this motel. Courteous staff.
