Budget Lodge Mount Dora

We pulled up to this obviously older hotel and were getting pangs of regret. The front desk is littered with post-its and random notes under the glass top. I was met at the door by a happy little dog and my wife began rolling her eyes. A casual front desk atmosphere was clear. Walking past the pool to our room, I noticed it was clean and the water was clear. I did not get the chance to sample it. We climbed the wooden stairs with 2x4 railings to our second floor room while making a mental note to lock the car. After a minor hiccup getting our key card to work, we settled into our room. It was clean. I kicked off my shoes with abandon and perused the available TV channels on the flat screen TV. I found there to be ample furniture, but not a crowded room I got comfortable on the couch as my wife sampled the bed. Nothing was ample, but satisfactorily accommodating. The bed was very comfortable, no stains on any bedding. Outlets were few, but enough to get our tablets and phones charged. The shower was nice and hot, while the controls were traditional and precise. There was enough soap and shampoo for the visit and surprisingly, acceptable to my wife. (she's sensitive to scents) If you're not expecting the Waldorf, Budget Lodge is a good low cost place to flop. Surprisingly clean and comfortable at the lower cost range. Don't judge the book by it's cover.

There were stains on the mattress, a whole in the wall, refrigerator rusted, no second lock, I ended up putting a chair under door handle, was told why the pool was closed… TMI, just saying it’s closed would have been sufficient Will never stay again

Old and smelly limited amenities

The room wasn't so bad, what turned me off was the roach infestation, AC was horrible and so was the bathroom. Broken toilet seat, gross looking tub/shower. Shower head way too low. The water smelled a little funky but I'm sure that's out of their hands. The good was the price, the pool, clean property, friendly staff.

The management was very nice. The hotel needs some updating.

I stay there a lot and the staff is always friendly and the place is always clean.

10/10 would stay here again. I do not understand the review score it has. Check in was easy, staff was friendly. Room was clean and had a large tv and microwave/fridge. Quiet area. Don’t let the middling rating fool you, it’s worth the stay!

nice people at front desk. roach infested, exterminator required ASAP!

This place was disgusting and full of roaches. And when you tell the indian owner up front. “We sprayed with medicine” well why did I wake up to crawling on my legs!!!

Very clean, not the most comfortable

The rooms were clean & largely well-maintained. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, which seems rare in most hotels. Those who worked the front desk were friendly, included Raja (the dog).

I had to take a cold shower! Room was clean and I got what I paid for. Minus the cold shower. I needed a cheap room quickly, and that’s what I got. Staff was friendly

Staff was courteous older hotel but clean

Dirty...roaches...and people outside hanging out and drinking...asked for non smoking room and got a smoking room...stunk really bad..had ro buy a candle for the room to help alleviate the odor...junk under the beds and in drawers...linens didnt seem washed..curtains were just yuk! Bathroom sink look like it was about fall

I didn’t like how unsafe I felt staying in the facility. The front door only had one lock on the door and there weren’t any emergency exits. The bathroom shower wasn’t very eficiente for everyone only for ppl 5’3 or smaller. A very cramped shower with very rough towels. The quality didn’t match the price I paid for. I feel scammed and ripped off.

Shower did not, dipping súper hot water only.

the bed wasnt comfortable, the lights would flicker and flash when turned on. i am photosensitive. the water wasnt very warm in the shower. room was small. fridge/freezer was still dirty. noises all around. had to place a chair under the door handle to feel safe.

Delete, the upfront was very suspicious of us that we will smoke in the room, and made the whole communication really unpleasant.

Our stay was wonderful. The check in was fast and front desk clerk was very friendly. They even brought us extra towels immediately upon our arrival without us asking. It was a very nice room and quite peaceful.
