Affordable & centrally located

I had a one night and 6 night stays over 2 weeks. Lucy is accommodating and quick & easy check in. Location is excellent, easy walk to gondola, restaurants, casinos, and Starbucks. Older building, my rooms appear to be recently updated. Has an in room refrigerator and microwave. A good value if you just want hotel without all the frills.

Budget Inn offers exactly what’s on the label but fits the bill perfectly when looking for a warm bed right across the street from the Heavenly Gondola and plenty of options around for après-ski food and drink. Bring a grounded power bar though as none of the plugs in the room would hold a two-prong charger in place.

Been staying for many years since my kids were young. Best deal for the location. I always book here for last minute snowboard trips when theres a storm and good conditions. Across from the gondola lift, close to all restaurants and shopping at heavenly village.
