Guests frequently highlight friendly, accommodating staff and basic rooms that often include a microwave and mini-fridge.

A huge amount of garbage and remodeling debris lying about. There is a large amount of unsavory type people hanging out or just passing thought. Feels completely unsafe. The lobby is a complete disaster.

I was surprised that the room was as clean as it was and was quiet even though on a busy road. I also liked the fact that parking areas are on camera.

Location was good for restaurants. No noise problems. Request for ground level room was available. There weren't enough parking spaces available in the area near our room. The room had an odor and stains at various locations. The Air Conditioner did not work, and this was a stay in the summer on a near 90' day.

Overall decent and to be expected at the price point. Never did find a trash can in the room, but it was more or less clean. The overall outside of the hotel wasn't the cleanest and it wasn't easy to get a parking spot. Relatively easy check-in/check-out.

I believe they were fixing some areas of the property. there was trash that could’ve been put in dumpsters. And the room that I received a lot of air was coming through the bottom of the door because it was missing a protector to cover against trash going in or out. but for the price I paid it was OK

The only thing I could say I really liked was the price and they had a smoking room. There was absolutely no parking and I found garbage under the bed and behind some of the furniture. But for the price you can't really beat it

I like a bargain but the Budget Inn showed me what's below my bargain standards. Stains everywhere, dents in wall, carpet filthy, weird sticky stuff on bedside tables. on the plus side the bed wasn't too bad...a least no bed bugs...it was that kind of place.

I expected cheap and I got more than that. Typical things for the cheapest hotel in Sonoma County: stains on sheets and comforters, broken/chipped paint and all kinds of items, tweakers roaming at all hours. What crossed the line for me was my room waa freezing, so I went to turn on the heater. Thing looks like it's 50 years old. When I turn it on it started smelling really bad like ozone and making a loud annoying buzz. Left it on for 5 minutes but the smell got worse and I shut it off. Temp got down to the low 40s outside if I remember correctly. Not sure of temp in the room, but I was cold.

Checking in was a hassle and unprofessional. Room Was received with a window that was open with no screen. Window was not lockable which is unsafe and room was sold to have a king size bed but was given a queen size bed. Their excuse was they were replacing the mattresses and They could drag the old one back in if I wanted to which is extremely disgusting. I signed up for a budget hotel and was placed in a roadway inn with now warning ..All extremely unprofessional

Booked online while driving though when we decided we needed to stop for the night. When we arrived, a sign on the office window directed us to check in at the Rodeway in next door. The clerk couldn’t find our reservation, and I realized that my mistake was that, since it was past midnight, the booking was actually made for the following night. He did his best to find a room for us, which we definitely appreciated. The first room hadn’t been cleaned, and the second had already been checked into by someone else (found out when we were both trying to enter it at the same time). Finally he put us in a room over at Rodeway which was basic but clean and comfortable. This hotel seems a little bit disorganized but we really appreciated the clerk’s helpfulness given our booking mistake.

This hotel is right off the freeway for great access, but also road noise. My room was on the road side. I requested a smoke free room, there was a stifling strong smell of smoke. The room was perhaps clean but it was beat up pretty bad. It is a good lesson for me to stay above 3 stars. Thankfully I was by myself. NO way my wife would've stayed.

The best priced accomodations in the area, safe as any motel in the area, appreciate the mini fridge and microwave, casino a mile away and 24-Hour diner across the street. Easy freeway access and have stayed several times without any problems. That said, not bad to sleep, shower and do whatever else might do when passing thru.

I think this hotel is a homeless shelter. People outside their rooms that seemed to be living there. The smell of pot permeated the air. Room was ok. Tub looked dirty. Am breakfast did not exist. Front desk did even try to apologize for not having a breakfast as advertised. Definitely not worth the $125/night. When I walked into the room thought I’d be better off sleeping in my car. People hanging out in the parking lot. Kept looking out the window to make sure no one was breaking into my car. The surrounding area was nicer than where I was staying.

If all you want is a cheap place to stay, this might work for you. Other than that, there was no remote for the TV and staff was indifferent to my request for one, saying in broken english their tech was not available. The beds felt like they had a sheet of plywood between the mattress and box springs. Place was very noisy with people coming and going outside very late at night. The hotel listing said coffee and breakfast was included, but in the morning, when turning in the key card, was informed that was not the case.
