What guests think

Reviews of Budget inn depict a budget-priced motel with a quiet, convenient location, generally friendly staff, and variable room standards; guests frequently mention aging furnishings, inconsistent cleanliness, and recurring Wi‑Fi issues.

Value for money is appreciated by several reviewers. On the negative side, multiple reports cite pests, mold, odors, worn linens, and maintenance problems such as slow drains and dripping faucets. Confusion around a posted no‑pets policy versus online listings caused check‑in disputes for some travelers. Overall, expect a very basic stay where location and price compete with variable room conditions.

The room wasn't terrible. The floors needed cleaned ant the shower drained slowly. The bigger issue is I booked it because it was pet friendly. When I arrived, with my dog, they had a big sign saying no pets. I argued with the desk clerk about it and had yo bring the room up on the website. Finally, he said ok. Since the room was nonrefundable, and the dog was with me. This could have been a big issue.

Nice rooms fairly quiet. House keeper extremely nice actually cleans the rooms. Low weekly rates as well. Would have liked to be able to get 2 keys since I am renting a room with my spouse and we work different shifts but it's not that big of a deal. Best budget in. I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at a few in different states and this location is by far the best and the most friendly staff. There is a 20$ cash deposit but that is also way lower than other locations and other hotels in the area and I completely understand that as well because the rooms are very nice. I wish they had laundry room for guests but maybe one day in the future. I would definitely recom mend to family and friends!

It is located on the main strip near local shops and restaurants. Our room was very clean and had a very fresh smell, it also looked to have been recently updated. It is the perfect place to stay when all the unnecessary extra amenities aren't needed.

Once arriving at the property, there was a 'NO PETS' sign at the window which is not what it states online. The room was average. No shower supplies are given, so be prepared for that. My service dog was anxious the whole stay which was due to the constant unsafe feeling due to other individuals staying there. They were in the remodeling process and we were given an untouched room. Although there were issues, the staff are amazing and the rooms were great for showering and sleep. It's decent for the price and close to everything in town.

Dude made us stand in the cold while he took my card and id to process the stuff. He then told us a 15 minute wait for our room but after 15 minutes his wife tried to tell us 50. Once in our room he tried to tell us no key til my husband went and asked for the wifi password and he finally handed the key over. Once we got settled in we came to realize the wifi was teally bad and wouldn't even connect to where our room was. It wouldn't even connect to my phone standing in the main office. Warning for tall people my husband is 6'1 and the shower head was at his back he had to lean down the shower. Would only stay at this sketchy place ahain if i absolutely had to. I even might sleep in the car at that point.

It's budget inn, what else do you expect? The room was a bit run-down, holes and stains on the blanket. I entered the room and heard a noise, I checked it out and it was the faucet dripping. I tried turning it and it dripped the whole night. The tub didn't drain well. The WiFi was slow. The pillows were very soft, not comfortable. I would say, the area was pretty quiet. If it's a last minute booking and you want to save money for one night, then book it. If it's a long term stay, go somewhere else
