Well furniture look like it came out of the trash. We had someone walk into our room at 3:43 in the am. They some how had a keys linked to our room. Not happy! Linen was fine. It was close to the air port but next time I’ll pick some where else.

Friendly and courteous service. The rooms pretty dark. Old decor. Scratched furniture. Plenty of space to create gardens and sittng areas but bare. It seems the grass is not cut regularly. The boardwalk in the picture is not accurate. It is boarded to stop anyone from using it. Pool area is big and plain. May have limited sitting during high tourist season. Close to restaurants and places to visit. Pillows are horrible for the neck.

I have been staying here at Budget Inn, for a few years, during my Travels, and for Vacation. There were a few upgrades, and they will keep upgrading for more years to serve the Sanford Area. Basic Motel with everything you need around it. Thanks Budget Inn for making our staycation Economically Freindly. Thank you Expedia for making this happen. See you all again. -Alex
