What guests think

Across recent reviews, Budget Inn North Stonington comes across as a very basic, aging roadside stop with significant shortcomings, and feedback largely highlights issues with overall upkeep, comfort, and reliability, making it a risky pick for travelers seeking consistency.

Reports frequently cite stained or dirty linens and bathrooms, mildew, and rooms left unserviced unless requested. Water problems are also noted, including weak pressure, no hot water, rusty or smelly tap water, and hard‑to‑regulate temperatures. Rooms feel very dated, with strong smoke or musty odors, mixed bed comfort, occasional noise, and spotty or absent Wi‑Fi; basic appliances are inconsistent or inoperative. Service feedback is mixed, and this property best suits a quick, no‑frills overnight when options are scarce.

Gross! Front sign was not lit so hard to find on dark rode. Room smelled nasty. Shower was not working. Fridge was not working. No bedside lighting. Probably my worst motel experience ever and I’m old and cheap. Avoid!

No amenities. Not even an ice machine. Toilet, under sink and shower all leaked. Door lock was broken. No refrigerator or microwave. No hairdryer. Place was unkempt and dirty. Faucet on sick had no hot water pressure. The manager did move us to another room, but it wasn't much better. I can't believe Expedia would actually offer this hotel on it's site. Don't they inspect the properties before they try to book them? The manager did everything she could to make us more comfortable but it was too awful to do much. We were extremely overcharged for our stay. I would like a refund.

Smoky smelly room, no coffee in room, plus front office was locked when we went to get a coffee. Outlets were high on the wall and difficult to access. Room was barely adequate. Fortunately, it was only for one night.

There definitely was a musty odor. Carpets were dirty wiped up water spill, towel was black. A good carpet clean would do wonders for improvement. Bathtub clean but stained, and there was hair from other people, and a dirty washcloth on top of shower. We asked for fridge, was not on when got there.There was not enough toilet paper, we asked for more. When they delivered it they turned the fridge off, ruining food. Beds clean but felt like cardboard boxes with sheets, comforter had old cigarette burns. Could not leave windows open there was a whining from truck generators all night. We stayed for 4 nights for music festival, camping was sold out, so we were barely there. My bags smelled musty when I got home. The manager was nice. I agree with previous reviews, good place to crash for night, price was right. Would stay again under same circumstances.

Place was a dump. None of the amenities listed were there. No wifi, TV didn't even work. No service. Only time we saw anyone was check in. Had to ring bell to get him. Later, when trying to get him for additional roll of toilet paper (there was only one half used roll on arrival), he didn't answer the bell. No one cleaned the room after first day.. Seems like proprietor is only one there and is just running it into the ground until he can sell the land.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness is a recurring problem, with many reports of stained or dirty linens and towels, unclean bathrooms with mildew or rust, and rooms not serviced unless requested. Overall upkeep feels neglected.

I would give it zero stars but that wasn't an option. To start with the sign to the hotel is not lit up, that should have been our 1st clue. The lobby looks like a tornado hit a yard sale. The bed squeaked so loud my husband and I woke each other up every time we rolled over. The pillows were so flat that might have been envelopes. The shower did have hot water but the curtain had holes in it and there was no cover on the bathroom light/fan. When we travel we are really just looking for a place to shower and sleep, I would never sleep here again.

ROOM WILL NOT BE CLEANED UNTIL YOU TELL THEM TO CLEAN, OTHERWISE IT WILL STAY UNTOUCHED FOR DAYS. WATER IS STINKY AND RUSTY (BOTH COLD AND HOT WATER). CAN'T EVEN BRUSH TEETH OR TAKE SHOWER, NOT SURE HOW HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTORS LET THIS SLIDE.

I won’t let my dog stay in this place. When we got to our room, there was urine and toilet paper in toilet. Tub was brown, couldn’t tell if couch was hold because so dirty, sheet had crumbs in it, throw pillow had white spots and stains all over it. We left to go to meet our friends and we didn’t go back. We paid to stay at another hotel. We stopped to a store find the street, I asked if they knew anything about it. He said truckers won’t even stay there. I can’t believe Expedia had this hotel on their website .

SHOCKING!! I have never in my life stayed at a more disgusting motel. The toilet was filthy, the tub was stained and streaked orange. The sheets were dirty. There was a hole in the chair and the curtains were hanging off on one side. The final straw that had us packing up to leave was a bug crawling near our bags. We have pictures to prove it.

We arrived and had to phone the manager to check in. Our room has an odor of mildew. There was no toilet paper, fortunately I brought one with me. The bathroom was full of rust along the perimeter because there was no fan to remove it. The shower could not be regulated and it was either scalding or cold. Nothing says ambiance like a microwave situated between the beds. If I wanted better reviews I would start with a total update. We were unfortunately unable to find lodging on a holiday weekend but definitely would have checked out had we found one. We won't be back.
