What guests think

Budget Lodge Inn Abilene draws very mixed feedback, with several guests noting friendly staff and acceptable, budget-level rooms, while many others report significant cleanliness and maintenance problems, spotty hot water and heating, and a generally run-down, unkempt exterior.

Some guests slept well on comfortable beds, while others faced broken fixtures, nonworking TVs, limited climate control, thin curtains that would not close, and noise from poor insulation. Service ranges from friendly and accommodating to unavailable or rude, amenities are basic with limited extras such as ice, and the location is generally quiet. Expect a no-frills stay with variable quality.

Couldn't check in due to pipe issues. As in no hot water to 2 of their buildings They were super friendly and no issues at all from them. Not the nicest hotel out there, but was decent enough.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! Very dirty/stinky. Outside unkempt. Inside horrific. Do not believe pictures. Bathroom filthy, towels scant worn. Only one holy dirty washcloth. Nothing for the floor to step on. Sheets dirty. Very small non-working tv. Onlt table had fridge and microwave crammed on it. 20 things plugged into one bad surge protector. Wiring looked dangerous. Curtains didn't close. Walls dirty. No controls for ac. Room smelled horrible of mold/mildew and old smoke. No ice on premises.

The floor was gritty and dirty. No hairdryer. No top sheet, just the comforter that had a burn hole in it. The outside building looks very run down. The guy at the front office was very nice and friendly.

The Budget Lodge Inn is great value for the money. Every room has a microwave and a fridge. Sometimes we would have trouble sleeping but not that night. The bed was firm and super comfy. I would definitely stay here again.

There was poop smeared on the front of the toilet, didn't look like it had been cleaned. The toilet leaks between the tank and bowl every flush. At $50/night, still not a good stay

It was apparent that this property is under new management and efforts are being made to improve it. However, the sheets in our room were stained, the bedspread was old and worn, the curtains weren't attached properly. The wifi password was posted in the check in area. There is much to improve before we would recommend this property.

Definitely get what you pay for. Staff was very friendly upon arrival but if I wanted more out of the hotel than just a place to lay my head down for a few hours I would have gone elsewhere. Room had a faint smell, carpets were very dirty with stains. I would define my stay here as adequate.

Nice comfortable Mattress, HUGE fluffy King-sized pillows (by any Motel standards). Compact but efficient room, good sized bathroom. I love it when they renovate and reuse rooms in these classic older motels. How many rooms nowadays can you slide open a big window for fresh air ?? Very few... I would stay here again...

Not much to say about the stay. We arrived, open sign was on, door was locked and no one answer either number on the door. We stood in the cold for 10 minutes, no sign of anyone, the front door was shattered and taped up, we left and found another motel.

It was the worse experience ever. The gentleman was polite. However, the woman was very rude and unprofessional. She literally should be relieved of her duties. We ended up not stayi. St that hole in the wall. If i could give a negative 20, i would.

It was the wrong reservation. I searched Abilene Texas but it sent me to Abilene Kansas. When I immediately asked for a refund was told no. Wouldn't help me. I was trying to leave an abusive situation .

What I wanted was a clean place to sleep and a place to take a shower. This did the job. The outside was a little rough and unkempt inside was OK. I felt safe enough in the location and it was not noisy
