Budget Inn Laramie

We checked into this hotel just long enough to see the state of the room and promptly returned keys to the front desk and left. You could not have paid me to stay the night here. Absolutely every surface was dirty and in disrepair. They seemed extremely understaffed and their staff didn’t seem to be trained in even the basics of checking in or out. We noted mold, strong cigarette odors, broken electrical fixtures and spiders in the room and the bed didn’t look to be clean or made properly with the bedding just kinda thrown into place.

Driving up, the first words I said were - WOW, that place looks sad; you can tell from the road. Of course, I was mistaken to take the cheapest place in town. The lady at the desk was very friendly. She offered up some nice restaurants around town. GF went to the bathroom during check-in; when she came back, she was hesitant about staying. I disagreed and insisted. Boy, was I wrong. We carried our luggage to our room - the Executive Suite, by the way. Along the upper walkway to the room, I noted broken windows of other rooms along the way. There was a trashcan full of sand outside a room, full of butts. Upon opening our door, it was musty. GF immediately inspected the sheets. Dirty, so she asked for new ones. They were promptly provided. She also had trouble with the TV; the maid fellow helped with that also. In the room, I noted tape over a vent in the bathroom, peeling texture on the ceiling, and hard mattresses. The Wi-Fi worked great! The temperature control system also worked admirably. That's it. Getting up in the morning, with socks off, I noticed the floor was sticky. Getting in the shower, the hot water faucet worked perfectly; the cold-water knob was stripped. That took some serious jimmying to get a good temp for a shower. I left the water going so that my GF could have a nice shower also. Basically, the place is a dump, and they know they got my money - ONCE! GF went in for coffee before departure; she said it tasted like vinegar. Avoid, evade, eschew, shun, skip!

Black mold... checked out a day early. No refund because i went through Booking. Com

Good service

The flooring in the room was brand new and looks great. The room did come with a fridge and microwave even though I did not see it on the website. Fridge looked new and was clean. Bed was comfortable with clean sheets. When I lifted up the sheets to check the bed the mattress was stained and well used. Couch looks like it has been there for a long time, torn and stained. Entire room was dusty, leather chair was worn out and torn. Walls need painted. Shower worked great with hot water. Room was not noisy and front desk staff was friendly. Fit my need for the price.
