Budget Inn-Punta Gorda

The place smelled so bad as soon as you walked in. The toilet was leaking from the bottom and there was dust on all surfaces. We left immediately and demanded a refund for the room and found somewhere else.

It is a very old hotel... but the staff was nice. Room was clean... though old. Bed was OK, but my son's bed's spring squeak a lot. This was a "Cheap" nights stay... in a good area with Restaurants across the street. No Cable News channels. If you just need a cheap place to lay your head to sleep before a flight.... this works.

Should not be open to the public. Whoever inspects these places should reevaluate their position.

The lock bolt on the door was not installed properly. It did not fit the whole so you were able to see thru the hole. I had to shove kleenex in the hole. Musty smell. Funiture old. Exposed pipes in the ceiling. Slept with the lights on in case any bugs came crawling out of the pipes.

It was the worst experience EVER! I will NEVER go back or recommend. I had to find another hotel. The staff was totally rude and very unacomidating. I unexpectedly brought my 6 yr old son with me, my husband was also with me so we can get up at 4am to catch my flight. They told me only 2 people to a room and refused my room. Went to another hotel they had 1 room left same set up 1 king bed and they had no issues. DO NOT EVER GO TO BUDGET INN in Punta Gorda FL!

The place was disgusting, dirty bedding,stains on walls and floor smelled terrible,cleaning people dumping their dirty mop water from second floor into parking lot!!!! Then next morning the shower did not work... Had to stay whole town sold out HOPE I DIDN'T PICK UP ANY DISEASES??

Room was spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly

The person at registration was sullen and unfriendly-watching TV while checking me in-gave us a smoking room rather than non smoking as requested-it smelled-found a dirty towel on back of bathroom door-basically a very unsatisfactory experience.

The hotel served its purpose, but I was surprised that there was an open bathroom, no door! In addition, we didn't have hot water and were unable to shower during our stay. The location, however, was perfect. We were able to walk to our destinations.

First room assigned when we arrived after 4 pm had not been cleaned or linens changed. Clerk said "here, try another. If that's not cleaned well try a third!" The bathroom floor was missing tile completely around perimeter. The bath mat was paper. $90 a night. The two chairs had no back cushions. The sofa was dirty. The bed was surprisingly comfortable there was a fridge. But Never Again. A basic budget hotel room was expected, but not this sub-par disgrace.

I had reserved a 1 room, king, non-smoking. Checking in the clerk told me I reserved a 1 room smoking, he charged me $10 more for each night. The other clerk was not very pleasant at all. The room was dirty,( bedding was dirty, and stained, and looked the bed was slept in before us, Sheets were ruffled under comforter and pressed to mattress) as was the refrigerator and bathtub. The couch was sunk in and there was not good reception at all, TV kept freezing up. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!!!!

Though the manager (owner?) was gruff and distant, he was professional and not at all disrespectful. Just not HOSPITABLE. I needed a non-smoking room and was not disappointed. Although plain and worn, the room was entirely adequate, including an oversize, modern flat panel TV. That was until I turned it on. Using that despicable XX-X cable channel format, it was a dozen or so (with many repeated channels on multiple channel numbers) and ZERO national channels like CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc., etc., etc. Well, after all, it's Florida, so why watch TV at all??? All in all the Budget Inn was affordable, clean and close. It's just that I need my political news and the Budget Inn is not a source of it.

Bad experience for me..flees and smoke smell. Not going to come again
