With a name like Budget Inn, I knew not to expect much. It was a last minute getaway and i booked a cheap hotel. I (mostly) knew what I was getting into. This hotel was new to me. My first impreession of the property was that it really needed a new paint job. My room was decently clean, but with a few scuff marks on the walls/furniture. Signs of normal wear. No problem. I even overlooked the hair in the shower. However, my feet got gross from just waking around my room barefoot for a few minutes. When I went to shower, they had all the towels and complementary little shampoos and conditioners and such. The shower itself was fine until I used it. It seems that the mecha ism for the shower is older because the spray was weaker and there was still water coming from the faucet. The tub filled up ankle deep, even though the shower ran less than 10 minutes. It seemed to drain fine, maybe a little slow. The area was quiet, with little traffic. I slept well. The air conditioner worked just fine and the TV worked. Except for thr shower bit and the floor, things were okay.
