The heat & a/c was effective, but you couldn't stand the noise -- so you had to turn it off after only a few moments. My room was literally infested with shat looked like a type of light-brown baby roaches (I killed at least 4 with my shoe). Don't enter that room without RAID or something similar.

I enjoyed my stay at the Budgetel in Scottsboro. It was easy to get to and the room was very nicely remodeled. Everything was very clean, including the lobby. There is no breakfast so keep that in mind but there is coffee in the rooms. The man at the desk was very friendly and helpful even when I had to get him up very early to let me back into my room because I had left the key on the table, closed the door behind me to leave and realized I had left something in the room. The hotel is right off a busy divided highway on a frontage road so you can definitely hear the traffic at night and early in the morning. There is a Ruby Tuesday, Chick-Fil-A and a cafe in short walking distance on the frontage road. There are other restaurants across the divided highway but I would suggest a car to get there and don't attempt to walk. The air conditioner was quite noisy but I was able to sleep through it. The price was amazing and Scottsboro is adorable. I wish I hadn't just been passing through and had more time to explore. I would stay here again.

I specifically asked for a non smoking room and not Nextdoor to a smoking room. Towels, sheets, pillows etc smelled like cigarette smoke. Woke up to a strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from the room next door. Other than that, it was a decent room at a decent price.

Cleaning

We had an issue with our first room and the management moved us to a new room and the difference was almost night and day. However, the cleaning was very minimal and it showed. They basically only made the bed, changed towels and replenished soap, shampoo, and coffee some days. They never swept, mopped or vacuumed and didn't clean the toilet.
