What guests think

Reviews of Budget Host Inn Bristol are highly mixed, with many guests citing severe cleanliness and maintenance problems while a smaller number found acceptable, no-frills rooms and appreciated the convenient location, especially for visits to the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Common issues include mold, broken fixtures, leaks, non-draining tubs, malfunctioning A/C, flat pillows, and hard beds. Several guests reported inattentive or unavailable staff, check-in delays, booking or refund disputes, and occasional room reassignments. A few reviewers noted quick check-in and found some rooms quiet or clean. Expect a very basic stay with significant variability between rooms.

I paid $168.16 total for a room that had a hole in the door, a hole in the wall with wires hanging out of it, a burn hole on the sheets on one bed, a burn hole in the curtains. We felt lucky enough that the door locked. Never again. Gross

WORST PLACE EVER Expedia charge me when booking on website 72 bucks and the balance was $2.34 to be paid at the hotel. This hotel charge me $72 again and says Expedia supposed to send me the money that they charged for this booking 100% dumb Trash can on sink counter to catch water from leaking roof through unfastened vanity light fixture.

The room we stayed in was disgusting. We took a shower and the shower stock up so water always came up in the tub because it was clogged. There is black and white mold everywhere. The whole room smells so bad we didn’t even stay the night we checked out the same night we checked in and went home because it was that bad.

The room was a disaster. I knew with booking this room I would not have the fanciest amities but it was unacceptable. No working smoke detector, roaches, and there was writing on a light that said profanities. There were burn holes in the blankets. One towel, and bathroom drain had standing water in it

This is a completely outdated run-down facility. I would strongly advise finding an alternate choice. Additionally, when I arrived at hotel with confirmed reservation, I was informed that there were no rooms available. Only after the manager realized I paid a ridiculously high price for room (hotel price gouged because of hurricane damage in area) did they free up a room from a reservation in which a lower price was paid. Also got stuck in a smoking room. Worst hotel experience ever.

I booked for 2 nights. Checked in and A/C didn’t work. They put me in a second room. Air conditioner did not work. Manager said it’s because it’s hot outside. I checked out in less than an hour. Not only did they refuse to refund me for less than an hour. They refused to refund me the second night as well. How do you charge someone two nights for less than 1 hour? I will be seeking legal action.

Was greeted and checked in quickly and very friendly. Rooms were a bit smaller than I expected, but adequate. Bathroom was very small and tub drain did not work properly. It was stuck in a 3/4 closed position that would not let you take a bath, but would fill up if you tried to take anything other than a quick shower. I didn't discover this till later and the hotel was pretty well booked I think so made due. Will inform them when I check out.

We have been waiting at the hotel for 30 minutes and nobody is at the front desk. We called when we arrived and a guy said he'd be here in 10 minutes and then never showed up.

Arrived at the hotel, admittedly late after playing a bar gig, and they would not answer the office door nor the phone for several minutes. Finally someone answered the phone and told me they did not honor any online bookings. So I had to travel another several interstate exits to find an open hotel. Not a great experience at all.
