Budget Inn Lake Wales

Ice machine did not work. Room really could use a chair other than the desk chair. The stair at the end put you in a dirt, rock and sand area. A walkway would be nice. The room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was good. I would recommend it

A place to sleep. Rooms looked just like the pictures, very nice and clean. The could use more furnature, like seating for 2. Motel has no amenities outside of the ones in the room and no elevator.

There was no laundry

The room was large and renovated with modern amenities. It was pretty clean and very sufficient for a one night stay. Cons: Had to ring a bell to get door unlocked to get into office to check in. Ice machine broken.

I liked how clean the hotel was and the price was excellent. Perfect place for a night stay with our all the frills.

The staff was respectful and responsive to our requests. The shower stall was too small and the shower head was not movable, so we needed to turn off the water to soap up and then turn back on the shower to rinse. The ice machine was not working. The remote for the TV needed new batteries that were replaced promptly. The pipe under the bathroom sink leaked so there was a waste basket under it to catch most of the water.

There is nothing close by. They need to get a vending machine. They charged extra to use a credit card

This is one of those properties where you have to ring a bell, then check through a window slot. I was told there was a credit card fee, which was not mentioned in the Expedia transaction. Large diesel trucks were parked outside with their engines running. There was no breakfast offered and no restaurants nearby. Although the room was spotless, there was no table to eat on, and the mini fridge was set on the floor which forced me to crouch down to get anything in or out. Finally, the TV remote was not working consistently even after the staff replaced the batteries. So sad.

good clean place to sleep. no frills.

It was very convenient to the event we were attending. We were able to park right outside our door.

Was not very clean. There was hair on the bathroom floor, the bath mat looked like it was washed with greasey clothes. The towels were changed out but bed not made. Wouldn't stay again.

At first glance, the room looked decent. But there was hair ALL OVER the restroom.

Very clean and quiet.

The place is very nice and clean. I will come back!

I was highly disappointed. I didn’t expect much, but got even less. The room was not clean, the ice maker was broken, the tv didn’t work, only given one coffee pack for two days, no housekeeping done. Need I say more? I will not be returning to this establishment.

Really very dirty.

One of the cleanest hotels I have every stayed in Excellent customer service very personable Will stay there again on my next Florida visit

Very clean

Can't say a bad thing. No frills room but clean as a whistle.

The property was very clean.

Our room was nice. Comfortable bed. Shower had great water pressure and had hot water.

I normally stay at mid level hotels with the major brands so I was a bit concerned about trying something different. We stayed two nights and found that,for an old style motel, the room was a pleasant surprise. It was spacious, clean and had been renovated better than I expected. The beds were comfortable. For the price it was hard to beat. On the other hand, we did have some noticeable road noise in morning from Route 60, which is only a few hundred yards away, and another guest's annoying diesel truck outside our room that woke us promptly each day at 6:30. The location is in an older residential neighborhood so there aren't many services immediately available. If you're okay with a vintage motel style property and need to stay in Lake Wales it is a good value option.

Hotel has just been remodeled inside so don’t judge by outside. Lots of light, hot water, and comfortable bed. If we ever went to Lake Wales we would stay there again. Very reasonable price. We went to that city to visit Bok Towers and that experience was well worth going out of the way.

It lived up to the reviews and was very clean. Room size was generous as well.

Like others have said, don't judge a book by it's cover. This place is clean, the rooms are huge, the beds comfortable. Did not feel unsafe parking my car there. My only complaint, and I mean only very minor complaint.... the pillowcases were linen and did not get "cool". pretty good if that is the only gripe.

Comfortable room, clean,very comfortable king bed, soft bath towels that smelled nice and not like bleach as so many hotel towels do. Dorm size refrigerator and microwave, coffee maker. Not a fancy room, but nicely furnished and decorated. I would definitely stay again.

Room itself was clean but was a bucket under the AC for water to drip into and didn't sleep well as it dripped all night.

Room was remodeled…great but there was an odor of sorts.

Large rooml. Convenient location to our destination, Bok Tower Gardens for the Easter Sunrise Service .

Nice staff/owner. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice shower and was a big room. No issues at all.

I am disabled and asked for a 1st floor room. Owner snapped no availability, but the parking lot was empty. Asked if he needed both vehicles info. Snaps, I'm not responsible for 2nd vehicle. Caught me off guard, normally no hotel is, but, I was concerned about him towing it. We walked in and it initially looked clean because it is tile floors and what looks like newer furniture. Unfortunately, it was not clean at all. I should have taken pics, but we were more concerned about cleaning. We left, went to Walmart to get cleaning supplies and spent almost 2 HOURS CLEANING. The bathroom was disgusting. I sprayed the walls with bathroom spray and the brown dirt just melted into the drain. Should have bought towels as some of them were so nasty. I seriously don't believe the room has been cleaned in years. The dirt was so bad. It even looked like there was blood on the bathroom wall. We went through more than an entire roll of paper towels. We didn't want to approach the owner as he was extremely rude from the start. Around 8pm that night, we were in bed relaxing before falling asleep and there's a loud knock at the door that scared us. It was the owner screaming at my husband that I needed to move my vehicle from the disabled parking. He said, she IS disabled, but he refused to listen and my husband grabbed my keys. I then walked out in my pj's argued with him, pointing out my handicap placard and my huge scars. He finally told us to leave it. Paid for 3 nights, left after 2.

Atul the manager was excellent and very helpful and accommodating. A no frills hotel with a clean room, comfy bed. I knew it was a no frills establishment with a microwave and fridge so I brought something for breakfast and nuked it. very cost effective.

Atul and his wife were very accommodating to us on our business trip. The room was comfortable and clean. Fridge, coffee machine, and microwave in the room. Cal King bed was very comfortable. We would stay here again.

Everything was good with the 3 day stay on Feb 20, 21 & 22, 2023. The room was nice and clean. It was quiet at night. We didn't hear the people in the other rooms. The owners were very nice and friendly. It was hard to understand their English, but it all went well.

Overall excellent property, staff and service. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Only negative was our TV broke down soon after we checked in. The owner did offer to move us to another room but we declined as we already unpacked, disinfected surface areas and were tired. Otherwise, really excellent place. Will stay again in the future. Highly recommend.

I am a senior citizen, almost 74 years old. I made a reservation several weeks before my stay. When I arrived I asked to be put on the 1st floor and told the desk that I am an old man and didn’t want to hurt myself lugging everything upstairs. There is no elevator. I even took off my Vietnam Veterans hat so he could see my gray hair. He vehemently refused. My vehicle was the only one at that end of the building, which had 5 rooms on each floor. I consider that very bad service and will never stay there again

Found the room to be immaculate. Staff friendly and accomodating. I'll be staying there whenever I'm in town.

not safe area

Just disappointed in location we were at. Everything else was top notch wonderful.

Well cared for and maintained property. The area around the hotel is residential but it was very quiet.

Booked a one night stay. Budget Inn Lake Wales is located in a quiet area. Gentleman at the front desk was very polite and helpful. This is an older, smaller (20 room?) hotel. Room 105 had been repainted/remodeled. The outlets next to the beds had USB outlets, which I find incredibly convenient. This Budget Inn was much better than expected. There are may restaurants within a mile as well. I would stay here again.

Property was clean and in good condition. Nothing extravagant but very nice for the short stay. Not much dining available close by. Busy road near motel didn't bother us. Price was not too bad for the area and time of the year.

It was very nice. Just a short distance off the main highway. Nice and quiet Nieghborhood.

My stay at Budget Inn was a very pleasant one. Good location, clean surroundings. The room was equipped with all the things l needed example, soap, shampoo, coffee machine. The beds were very comfortable and clean. Overall I have a very relaxing stay. Will definitely be staying there on my next visit.

Very clean! Nice towels. Parking for every room. Close to town and Route 60.

I asked if there were any restaurants nearby that would deliver and was just told there were places nearby. I don't know the area, so that reply didn't help at all. There should be menus available for nearby places offering takeout, or at least nearby restaurants.

Great stay, plenty of stores around for shopping and dining.

The motel was a small older one. It was very clean, tiled floors and walls. Beds where clean, towels, TP, soap and shampoo where filled, tv was good. Frigde, miro wave and coffee in room The place was very quite even though it was full. Located in a neigborhood just south of US 60, Publics and resterants and shopping within 1,2 mile. Could not have ask for more for the price.

It is an old hotel, but fairly newly remodeled on the inside--ceramic tile floors & shower, quartz counters. It was clean and a good value for the money. There is no lobby, just a check-in desk, not too much in the area. It met our needs as we were visiting friends and only needed a clean place to sleep at a reasonable price.
