The room didn't have any soap just a small bag of shampoo, the shower seemed a bit dirty on the walls, there were only 2 towels for 2 people. I liked the bed it was sturdy, nice firm, soft just not too soft. It was a good stay.

That housekeeper should be fired. She put all these boxes at the back of the stairwell which was in front of the room that I was in. She doesn't rinse out the mop and mops with a dirty mop. And she kept making noise instead of taking stuff out to the dumpster it was all in front of our room. My cat was so freaked out by it that he hid under the couch every time she went down the hallway which was often. She like she was on meth or something.

Couldn't get on the internet. No one answered the phone in the office when I called them. No Coffee to make in the room. Sheets were torn. Floor very dirty between sink stand and shower. Bed creaked every time you got in and out of bed or turned in the bed. Probably is our last stay at Budget Inn.
