Breakfast consisted of toast, fruit loops, and cheap coffee. This facility is a former super 8 that hasn't been updated since it was built in the 80s. We saw one staff member at check in after we called for service on the lobby phone. Property seemed to be clean but the old blankets and striped sheets were just odd for a hotel. It was ok for a cheap one night stay but next time i think ill spend the extra $50 on something nicer.

This place is old and rundown. It has a strong odor. The AC and bathroom fan sounded like jet planes taking off. Our king room turned into two doubles bc of a “plumbing issue.” The grout and paint were all cracked and peeling. Sheets were a black print…that’s kind of sus. The price was less than others in the area-for a reason!

Budget Inn, more like Budget Den

It was awful, do NOT stay there. We left in about 10 minutes. It felt like i was gonna get jumped. No security with locking doors, nasty bed, the front desk said they MIGHT have one extra blanket, she was on her personal phone almost the entire time. Asking for anything from this lady was met with annoyance or getting blown off. Did not feel safe or clean or anything there.
