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 really didn't feel comfortable at this place . The internet was down so they couldn't run my credit card and then the TV was out. The location is hard to find i drove past it and had to circle back. I understand you can't. Control everything about a stay but having residents in too rooms out infront of the hotel until 130 drinking and being loud was a little too much!

Clean, quiet room, directly off the freeway, yet I could not hear sound from the freeway. Additionally, I did not hear sound from the occupied rooms on either side. The property is old, but the owners have clearly been upgrading and repairing. There are some issues remaining, such as curtains that need to be replaced and wall repairs that need paint. But it is appropriately named: Budget Inn

They are pretty cool people and keep their property clean for the most part. However they have this strict policy about not having any visitors at all at that in my opinion is a violation of any individual’s freedom. Some of us are coming from distant locations and visiting family members in town who hasn’t seen them in years. I find it a bit too much like some sort of state corrections facility or something for you to be denied having any family members to come and see u at the place that you are staying in while you’re in their home town.

Nobody was at front desk. I waited almost an hour in the parking lot for someone to check in. The room had a stench about it. The floor was coming up. The toilet paper holder was broken. The paint on the wall was faded and peeling. I’ve traveled for over 30 years and this is one of the biggest dumps I’ve ever stayed in.

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.

It was the only place available in town in the Expedia app on short notice with a queen bed. But when we got to the room it was a full size not a queen. The name says Budget so it is not a Hilton Garden Inn by any means.
