Budgetel Inn Birmingham

Last minute decision to stay. Older but well worth the price.

AC was okay. The room door lock and latch didn't work. Looks as door was forced entered. It is a smoking room. Everything has burn holes. Take a spray bottle of clorox

Grossest room I've ever stayed in.

A decent hotel for the price. The staff was great.

I'll be as generous as I can without sounding too critical. But, the hotel was extremely outdated, run down and poorly maintained and staffed. I couldn't tell which rooms or floors were smoking or non-smoking, as everything seemed intermingled. The hallways stank of cigarette smoke, and our room smelled of weed each night, like it was being smoked directly beneath us. The front desk clerk would have been more at home working at Guitar Center, but was friendly and knowledgeable enough. The location was very nice, as that whole area of town is beautiful with a lot to do. Great shops, restaurants and of course the Zoo and Botanical Gardens. We survived, but wouldn't recommend it.
