Unbelievable

Not so good... The first room was given. The toilet didn’t flush & a/c knobs didn't work....I immediately went to the office to request another room.....The second room did have face towels, they only had 2 big drying towels in the room. There were spirder webbs in the corners of the bathroom. I saw a roach underneath the sink area. The curtains didn’t close properly, the tile on some parts of the floor had air bubbles, the furniture that the tv sat on was had gap when the draws was closed. The bed sheet had cigarette burns on them. When I paid for a non smoking room......

During my stay, it was evident that what is labeled as “renovations” on-site is in reality a collection of hastily assembled and poorly executed construction efforts. Loose boards, exposed screws, and unfinished areas created an atmosphere that not only felt uninviting but also posed safety risks. These issues left me concerned not just for my comfort, but also for the well-being of other guests who may unknowingly encounter these hazards. The condition of the property significantly affected my stay, and I found it disheartening that such basic safety and quality standards were overlooked. Given the current state of the premises, I am unsure if Budget Inn is committed to providing an experience that aligns with even minimal expectations for guest satisfaction.

Would not recommend

Showed up and they were under renovation and our construction workers didn't want to stay there. The front desk apologized for all the mess and said they'd happily refund the room. I asked Hotels.com for a refund and now they are denying the refund. Would not recommend.
