What guests think

At Budget Inn Motel, travelers report a budget stay with basic rooms and mixed experiences: convenient highway access and nearby food, but frequent concerns about cleanliness, noise, and the surrounding area's safety, plus inconsistent service and unreliable Wi-Fi/TV.

Several travelers felt the low price matched expectations for a simple stopover. Amenities are limited - microwaves and refrigerators are not standard and deposits are often required - and several mention check-in through a window with restricted lobby access. Expect a no-frills stay where cost savings come with trade-offs.

This hotel has the potential to be a great motel the just need to make some changes. For example you cannot enter the lobby to access the vending machine. Also it is advertised that they have a laundry facility but I never saw any. The room have no microwaves no refrigerators. Yet they can at least allow you to enter the lobby to used a microwave in the lobby. I was impressed with the Roku TV, the bed and the cleanliness of the room. Moreover they may had to implement certain measures due to the area they are in.

This motel is very much “you get what you pay for.” The room was clean, the refrigerator and microwave worked, the lights worked, and the A/C worked. No amenities or dining options. Convenient location to I35.

It was well maintained on the inside, but on the outside its kind of old and run down. Front office service was kind of distant n cold. Had to speak through a plexiglass barrier, i guess their have been some security issues in the past or they stayed frozen in time in the Covid era.

this should tell you alot about the place, the top of the fence had razor wire. none of the people spoke english, except the people at the front desk. and you couldn't go in the lobby where the front desk was, all business had to be at a window on the outside of the lobby area. bed was lumpy. they gave you 1 wash cloth and 2 towels. they wouldn't give you anymore than that. had one little entrance and only way in or out.

There's barbed wire at the top of the fence surrounding the perimeter. We had to talk with the registration lady NOT in a lobby but behind plexiglass. We had to give a $10 deposit for the key card and the remote control - but the TV wouldn't stay connected to the motel's internet connection - so, no TV. One of the beds made farting noises every time we moved even an inch. There was a red lipstick stain on the sheets. I think it was lipstick. Also, the lady at the "front desk" is rude and unhelpful. I didn't expect much for something last minute and also called the Budget Inn but dayum this was another level.

Cleanliness

Many reviews cite strong smoke odors, pests (roaches or bedbugs), stains, and poor upkeep. A few guests found rooms acceptably clean, but towel replacement and housekeeping consistency are recurring problems.

I think the benefit was that its location has direct access to the freeway. Yet, it’s quite noisy, mattress was caved in, and the room had a particular smell (not good). Stained sheets and flooring. On the bright side, the heater was working and we did have hot water. We just stayed one night. Check-in took a while even though we had paid in advance through Expedia. Check-out was fast.

This is the worst place I’ve stayed, the room was awful, people cursing and screaming outside our room. There was people having loud s3x in the room next to ours. We have to leave the place right away. When we we’re leaving we found a cockroach in the bathroom. This place should be banned and I deserved a full refund!! Please, don’t offer this place it any more in your app.

I recently stayed at Budget Inn in Austin, Texas, from March 05 to March 09. The location was convenient, within walking distance from stores and public transportation, and although situated right off the highway, it was relatively quiet. The price was attractive, making it an affordable option. The room seemed clean overall, but the floors could have benefited from better sweeping and mopping. Unfortunately, the bed was in poor condition, noticeably sagging on one side and definitely needing replacement. Additionally, there were homeless individuals frequently roaming through the parking lot, which made the surroundings feel less secure. In summary, Budget Inn is suitable if you're looking for an inexpensive stay with basic amenities, but improvements in bed quality and property security could enhance the experience significantly.

i understand you get what you pay for. but this place was really rough. the girl that helped us check in was friendly, but behind bars to get us checked in. the room had only 2 giant windows and the door on the front wall. making it the nosiest room i recall ever staying in. each night, i could clearly hear a couple in the next room talking/arguing at 2am and could hear sirens and cars all night. the hotel is obviously really old and without any funds to make improvements. everything there just felt neglected.

The third party maid crew continues to take the towels out of your room and doesn't replace what they take out. Once again they go home and you're without wash cloths or drying towels. The rooms that houses 2 people ONLY HAVE 1 WASH CLOTH and 2 DRYING TOWELS. What does it take to accommodate the guests per towels who are spending their money entrusting that this is a good place to rent from???

And for the love of god do not be there by yourself. It’s not a bad place honestly. There’s just a lot going on outside so just go in to sleep and relax. Don’t listen to thw commotion outside.
