We checked in and our assigned room was supposed to be no smoking. We had changed our room. The one we were assigned next was better but it still stunk like smoke. I walked barefoot in the room and my feet were filthy. The bed was comfortable. I would not go back.

Do NOT stay here!!!

Front desk guy was professional, but the room was absolutely the worst ever (see pictures). The room had bugs and MAJOR issues, from sink detaching from counter to large cracks/holes in he wall. It also smelled like smoke, had many people smoking outside their rooms, and people’s personal items outside of rooms.

My room is not clean. I had no cups for water no clock. There was no lightbulb in the lamp next to the bed. The shower was not clean and did not take a shower. The floor was sticky and I got bedbugs. I would not recommend anyone to stay at the budget Inn in Punta Gorda, Florida.

We booked two hotel rooms and they were both disgusting. One smelled heavily of smoke even though there was a no smoking sign on the door. The sheets had burn holes in them and a dead cockroach was on the floor. Second room had trash in the shower and the white sheets were extremely stainedand also had lots of hair and dead bugs in it
