I like this place for its location right across from the gondola of the Heavenly Ski Resort. It’s also right next to shops and lots of cafes and restaurants, needless to say the casinos. The place is nice and clean with amenities. Parking is easy. Internet connection is fast. Most of all, the staff cares. For example, on my last stay, I left my ski gloves in the room. Two weeks later, on my current stay, they kept them. I got them back. I do not hesitate in booking this place.

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.
