When we checked in, we were told there was no rooms for us. The receptionist said I had to call Expedia solve this problem by myself. The lobby was dirty and couch had stain on it. Smell was bad also. If I knew I wouldn’t book this hotel. And it’s awful we paid the room and credit was charged but there was no room and we got stuck there for two hours , couldn’t get help from Expedia service. The receptionist just ignored us.

Don't Even...
I actually didn't stay in the room because upon arrival, the night clerk couldn't find my reservation. Honestly, he really appeared out of it/altered, but he made no attempt to look up the reservation I made through hotels.com and offered no suggestions. It's probably a blessing in disguise though because the hotel was not in a great neighborhood, and the condition of the front office (not very clean, the office chairs (behind the bank teller style window) were torn and old, the desk was a mess, and there were typos and misspellings on the signage taped to the window) led me to believe the room would have not been clean or comfortable, nor would it have been necessarily safe. The cab driver who took me there was so hesitant about the area he personally escorted me inside. I'm absolutely shocked this even has two stars and I think hotels.com should remove them from their listings...at the very least a representative from hotels.com should visit the site.

Hotel did not allow me to use the Hotel.com reservation, so at 2 AM I had to pay again to use the room. Hotel pool filled with dirt and weeds. TV in the room has no cable feed ... just snow on the screen. Wake up call was late. I can go on forever. Hotel reminds me of a flop house in a third world country. Less than a minus five rating.

No Thanks
Shampoo and soap in ketchup packets. Towels so rough you could shave with them. I woke up in the middle of the night swearing I felt something crawl up my ear canal. No Wifi access code that worked. Pillows so thin you can see through them. Check-in through a bullet proof window. All airlines had cancelled flights, this is what i was able to reserve. Maybe a good place for an off the grid affair or some cloak and dagger activities.

Sleepers Remorse
I wish I wouldn't have stayed there. That's what I keep telling myself. Yes, I needed somewhere to stay, and instead of listening to mySelf I let other people push me to this terrible place. Yes, we had heat, and a bed. However, We didn't sleep under those blankest, they had roaches, chipping paint in the sink...Chipping paint? Who paints a sink? That wasn't the worst part about the sink, the hot water knob was broken so we had to us pliers to turn it on and off. The tub was stopped up, until they felt it was an inconvenience to them if they hadn't fix it, -Literally. The water began to leak, and then they wanted to fix it.... I paid for the room one day 15 mins before check out. The lady in the front office insisted on calling my room one hour before, repeatedly to tell us we'll have to leave. So disrespectful, she was. To top it off, No Internet, as Promised. My husband and I we do most of our work digitally. After all, this is the digital age, and we couldn't do any work. When aksed what the issues was, we were told it was off. We stayed roughly 18 days, with no internet. We lost more money than we made. Thank you Budget Inn.... Joshua E. Loveson

Waste Of Money
first thing i did when i walked in was kill a roach that ran under the bed. We stayed up all night killing roaches that ran across the wall every 5-10 minutes. We had to put sheet and pillows to the door to try to keep them out. Never again.

As a single guy looking for a room that I planned on keeping my eyes closed for most of the time, Budget Inn was just fine. The AC worked, the fridge was cold, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. I would have no hesitation to stay there again.

janky-looking but clean and the bed was comfy
The motel looked janky from the outside, and the desk service lady was almost rude. The room was musty and the shower leaked water on the floor, but the king bed was immaculately clean and quite comfortable. If you don't have to have a classy room, this motel is tolerable for a budget.

it was so scarey I pulled the desk in front of the door, very little sleep that night and unfortunately for me I stayed 2 nights - my room was not cleaned in between and it smelled like a smokers room. why didn't I complain to management? I was too scared to come out of my room!

bait and switch
I had booked a room with a king size bed because I was visiting my cousin who just doesn't have the room for me. As it turns out, we wound up needing to stay together in the hotel, so I asked for 2 double beds, one for me and one for her. The Hotel charged us extra per night for this minor convenience. The choice between 2 smaller beds and a king size bed is a pretty standard same price choice, but not here. The hotel wasn't even at 70% occupancy, and the switch was accomplished with a few button pushes, hardly mandating a surcharge. Further, the bedding was just awful. The pillows were lumpier than oatmeal, obviously many years old, and the mattress bounced like a ball. You could even feel the metal through what was left of the padding. For the same money, I could have had a considerably better hotel.
