This was dump! Don't stay here ever! Went to brush my teeth and the water backed up in the sink and 3/8" hair started to float out! 😝 Also, the flooring was curled up so my shoes kept catching on it. I would have went somewhere else but it was so late when i got there and I was so tired I didnt care. But seriously stay away from this place.

I liked that it was one level, no stairs to climb. Rent room for older gentleman for one night. The room was very small and dirty, was given 2 very small towels and one wash rag, TV didn't have a remote to turn TV on, had to turned it on manually, which he didn't know how to do. Had a dish remote which didn't work. The TV screen had white lines going through it the whole time watching it. Toilet overflowed on him; he only urinated in it. Won't stay there ever again.

The room was clean and quiet.

I was very pleased with my stay at Budget Inn Jefferson City, MO. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. I would stay at this hotel again. The people that are running the place are friendly, and efficient. I had to get back to my home or I would have stayed another day.

I guess we expected coffee and an ironing board and iron, even though it was not listed as an amenity. I was glad to see there was a refrigerator with a freezer.

Clean and comfy

Front desk clerk was a very nice young man. The hotel room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was hot. The only complaint I have is, I didn't have a blanket. This was a last minute stay, because the Travelodge Hotel’s room was dirty.
