My stay at budget inn was okay at best

The best and pillows are practically bricks. My neck is killing me only 2 days later and i even brought my own pillow. The toilet chain was rusted and broken so we had to pull it by hand manually every flush...very gross. The shower had hair inside it and there were dust bunnies everywhere inside the room. The door has about 1/4 inch reveal to the outside to help bugs get in, something thats rather easily calkable. The staff were really nice and accomidating tho. I had an easy time using the tv and navigating up to our room. My girlfriend and i woke up late and left about 30 mins after expected check out and the staff were very under standing which we super appreciate. They also lent us a chair which also made us quite happy

Definitely a budget stay; if you’re not picky and just want a cheap bed for the night, this is for you. The ladies were as helpful as they could be, but they can only do so much with what they’re given. The AC and TV both worked great, but that’s really the only pro.. I had to move rooms twice and was eventually asked to return later upon arrival because my room was either still occupied or still dirty, though check-in time was at 3PM and it was about 4:30 at this point. It was all a bit annoying after a long drive, but I try to be understanding, so I came back later only to have to move from that room too because the deadbolt would not lock. After finally moving into a 3rd room, I decided I was tired of bothering the front desk and just wanted to shower for the night. Unfortunately, housekeeping was also not very good. There were splatters, drips, and handprints on both mirrors, the TV, the door handles, etc. Every surface was dusty and the fridge had food caked on it. Floor was covered in dirt, hair, and dead bugs, toilet still had waste on it, shower shelves were covered in soap scum. Just overall seems like housekeeping has not been trained properly and no one is checking their work. With all the complications I had checking in, in addition to having to clean my own room because I was sick of having to move after driving all day, I wouldn’t recommend. But like I said, if all you need is a place to stay out the way, this is it. Just keep your expectations low 👍

I didn't care for such close proximity to the freeway due to the traffic noise, but, it was easy to get back on the road the next morning. I was able to drown out the noise with the tv volume.

Budget Inn is Budget

Comfortably bed. Easy in out parking. Bathroom door sticks, looks like a loose hinge. Just off the freeway, lots of traffic noise. 2nd night needed to get re-keyed. Though we paid for 2 nights. Only 1 trash can in room.

Super low quality

I think this hotel is one step away from being torn down and rebuilt. It was definitely a low price hotel, but I’ve also stayed at other hotels, named Budget Inn at similar price that were in outstanding condition. This hotel is definitely a dump.
