This motel was very fairly priced and the property is tidy and well kept up. The reasons I gave 4 instead of 5 stars are because the only ice maker was broken and the bedspreads and furniture were outdated. However the fact that the room was clean and large in size was very pleasing. I would stay here again if in the area.

I would like to see a tv menu in the room. It would save some time. I would also like budget to add a box of tissues as well. There were no coffee pod for the coffee machine in my room. In addition, there were no hand towels in the room.

Try anywhere else

Not a great stay. The customer service was mediocre at best. A male housekeeper walked in my room without knocking. The manager said its because there wasn’t a car outside. What difference does that make? The bed is hard as a floor. The tv could get 5 channels max. Go anywhere but here

Not impressed!

We travel with two very well behaved dogs and clean-up all of their outdoor droppings. We made sure the dogs were not in the room when cleaning was to be performed. However, our room was not serviced unless we requested it from the maid. We had to get towels from her cart and ask that the carpet be vacuumed. Our beds were never made and we had to put the trash outside the door. The ad says "pet friendly", and we paid $20 a night extra for the dogs. The water pressure in the shower was awful. We will never stay in this motel, again.

Older hotel trying to maintain and without doing a full remodel are maintaining it good. The staff kept it clean with the exception of the carpet which could have used a cleaning. Our room was far enough from the highway that we slept well. Being a half mile from grocery and restaurant was also ok.

Non-smoking room wreaked of smoke odor enough to irritate my eyes. There were cigarette ashes on the night stand between the beds. Only about an eighth of a roll of toilet paper in the room. And worse of all there were several roaches in the bathroom (I counted 6 st one time). We stay at this hotel for one reason only - proximity to our son’s home (next closest is about 30 miles further) guess we’ll have a longer drive next time!

VERY DIRTY, GROSS ROOM

We requested and it was confirmed a King "NON SMOKING" room. When we first entered the room, it was nice. There was a king and double bed. Went into the bathroom and noticed we had 1/4 roll of toilet paper. So I went to office and requested more and 2 more towels. She asked my why and then with a frown, gave them to me. We were in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to the room and we didn't noticed the smoke smell at that time. We turned up the heat and then left. When we returned much later, I kind of noticed the smell, but, wasn't sure. It wasn't till the middle of the night, I woke up and was so stuffed up, My husband had the same problem. The smoke smell was very strong. I think when I turned on the heat, it stirred up the smoke smell. Also, when you flushed the toilet, water leaked out from the bottom. When I pulled the towel floor mat off the tub to wipe up the water, there were cigarette burns all along the tub. The room was very dirty. Stains were in all the chairs. Mold was on the bottom of the shower curtain. When we checked out of the room, we told the man (owner)about the water that leaked when you flushed the toilet and he got very defensive and yelled at my husband that they always check everything and there wasn't anything wrong! Due to the smoke, very dirty room, and attitude of the owners, we will never stay here again!

BUGS

The staff was nice enough and the price is ok but when I woke up with bugs all over me and my pillow I had enough of the Budget Inn. Also don't walk barefooted because of the sharp tacks in the carpet. Other than that enjoy your stay!
