You get what you pay for

Its a cheap price hotel, and thats what your gana get. Not the cleanest but a place to sleep better than my truck. Some safety concerns plug outlet behind bed is a fire hazard (no cover on it,and outlet wires exposed found it when replacing the bed head board back on it fell off while moving the pillows around, and glad i didnt get hurt had to have employee help to place it back up because it was so heavy. Employees were nice.

The lady at the front desk was very polite. I have breathing problems and on oxygen and she accommodated me close to the office on the bottom floor. Nice place to stay and right at the interstate.

Budget Inn Express Review I’m not going to lie, when I first walked in, I seriously considered leaving and looking for somewhere else. The property is isolated behind a restaurant, and arriving late at night didn’t make the location feel particularly comfortable. The person at check-in was polite, but unfortunately, that was one of the few positives. The room was outdated and had a muggy, musty smell. There were no visible outlets, so I had to move the bed and unplug a lamp just to charge my phone. There were also bugs in the room, and the door looked like it was open from the inside even though it was closed, which definitely didn’t help me feel secure. While arriving, I also encountered a random shirtless man walking through the parking lot with a bottle of soda. It may have been completely innocent, but given the late hour and the isolated location, it was a bit intimidating. I literally just slept there and left. I definitely would not stay here again, mainly because of the location and the overall unkept condition of the property. That said, you get what you pay for. 😬
