The staff was great, very friendly. The room was spacious but not clean. Housekeeping needs to turn all the lights on when cleaning. There were dust bunnies, crumbs, dead flies on the floor and wall. The shower was not appealing (shower is very small - bring flip flops to shower). The air conditioner, TV and mini fridge worked. The room served its purpose but I do not plan on staying here again.

Room was a lil run down with a lamp not working and a little dirty. But the bed was comfortable, sheets were clean and the shower was hot. You get what you pay for. Overall, good/solid, experience but not excellent. Oh ya someone walked into my room randomly during my stay which was a little odd.

Budget Inn is Budget

Comfortably bed. Easy in out parking. Bathroom door sticks, looks like a loose hinge. Just off the freeway, lots of traffic noise. 2nd night needed to get re-keyed. Though we paid for 2 nights. Only 1 trash can in room.

You get what you pay for

You get what you pay for. The woman who checked us in was very nice. The room was shabby, peeling paint, uncomfortable bed, flat, small pillows. My only solace was thinking that people crammed into box cars on their way to Auschwitz probably managed to sleep due to sheer exhaustion, so I had it good compared to them. But not by much.

My stay at budget inn was okay at best

The best and pillows are practically bricks. My neck is killing me only 2 days later and i even brought my own pillow. The toilet chain was rusted and broken so we had to pull it by hand manually every flush...very gross. The shower had hair inside it and there were dust bunnies everywhere inside the room. The door has about 1/4 inch reveal to the outside to help bugs get in, something thats rather easily calkable. The staff were really nice and accomidating tho. I had an easy time using the tv and navigating up to our room. My girlfriend and i woke up late and left about 30 mins after expected check out and the staff were very under standing which we super appreciate. They also lent us a chair which also made us quite happy

Property would compare to a horror movie and makes you feel like a murder has for sure happened here before. We booked 2 nights and only stayed one. It was worth losing the money just not stay another night. 10/10 worse hotel.
