I rented a room out for one week. I'm on day 2 of my stay and this night I pulled the blankets out to find rodent droppings all over the pillow and sheets. I called reception who then came to my room, slammed the replacement sheets on the dresser, and then proceed to yell at me for calling the office about it. She told me to leave at check-out which is at 11am. After she left I saw a mouse run across the floor behind the desk and dresser. I do not have the pictures of the droppings physically on the bedding itself, but below I have attached photos of the droppings in the box spring

WE HAVE CALLED 11 TIMES IN 45 MINUTES FOR THE FRONT DESK TO SEE AVAILABILITY AND NOONE HAS EVER ANSWERED THE PHONE; YOUR COMPLAINT CENTER ALSO TRIED TO CALL AND NOONE ANSWERED THE PHONE FOR THEM EITHER. THE NUMBER IS SUPPOSED TO BE 636-639-1987.

I SUGGEST YOU FIRE THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE FRONT DESK! WE CHOSE ANOTHER HOTEL.

I was racially discriminated by desk clerk in Gillette WY on Friday July 12.
The clerk failed to provide valid reason for taking copy of my ID...Refused to rent room to disabled spouse with service dog after confirming on blue tooth call.After lengthy discussion refused to call manager and admitted was mad because I spoke to fast then I spoke to slow. As was blue tooth call was over head by witness. Handicapped access was blocked off.Several smokers in front of only entrance had to pass within inches and less than 4 feet from door

Clerk got real quite when started filming with cell phone.

Thanks Dan

My fiancee paid for a week in advance plus an extra $70 for his dog. He was evicted after 2 nights for having her, who is a service dog. He has epilepsy and mental problems. He even offered to pay for her again but was refused. He was then threatened and forced off the property. Worse, he was called a retard, having ADHD and dyslexia this upset him very much. He was given $120 back but really needed the room and now has to try to find a new one. The owner should be penalized, he is rude and refused to give his name, as I spoke to him over the phone several times for explanation and each time he hung up.

Stayed at budget in in Gonzales Texas Building is old But their customer service is awesome Tracey what a great great lady and budget in should be proud of her and should model the way she works with the public thank you

Manger was rude when asked for another room he flicked me off like I did not matter. I was unsatisfied with service And he refused to give my money back amd called the authorize. I am a fair man however this was not right how I was treated. Madison , Al. Madison Blvd. I rate this hotel a 0.

20

I couldn't believe how rude and disrespectful the owners were. I felt like it was a Budget inn prison. He harassed a patron and was a nosey pain. The owner should be replaced with a better human being. He is scum. I will never recommend that place. I ended up leaving and sleeping in my car because of them . I am 68 and have stayed in motels over 500 times.This was the worst proprietor ever.

My daughter and her family checked into Budget Inn Sanford Florida. Both rooms were filthy dirty, one of the rooms bed was not even made. Dirty bed linen was balled up and sitting in a chair in the hotel room. The family that checked in after us came running out of their rooms saying hell no, there are bed bugs. Needless to say we checked back out immediately. Evan, the gentleman at the desk was very quick to give me the refund. However, the money doesn't go right back to my credit card, so therefore it put me out $150. We drove down about 15 miles to a Marriott. This experience wasn't what we wanted after a long flight here

20

The Caldwell location is maintained very poorly. After we checked in at 8:30 pm we noticed that the refrigerator was not working. We had to call to get it replaced. Although they said it was nonsmoking the smoke smell lingered. The toilet kept flushing itself. The toilet floor was unbearable. The light bulb was not working and the maintenance guy could not find a way to go behind the bed to replace. At 11 pm I complained and they said they could move us into a different room. That is a joke when my spouse was tired and went to bed they wanted to move us. Please shut this place. Not worth the money. We want a refund

20

We found blood on our sheets at the budget inn host NAU location. We didn’t even sleep in the room because it was absolutely disgusting. We paid for a room that we didn’t even get to stay in and did not get our money back. Will never be staying again.

20

Staff entering rooms while guests are gone. Housekeeping never cleaning rooms when scheduled but days later when guess are never there. Staff are cussing out guess, being unprofessional. Staff is stealing money at cash register. All staff is kin to Management and living in hotel, as well as partying with guess during business hours. Allowed guess to work here to lower room fees. Staff doing drugs on property while on duty, All things done are also known by Management also.

I had a two night reservation for 4/25 and 4/26/19 at Carlisle Budget Inn 1125 Harrisburg Pike Carlisle PA. 17013... My experience their was Horrible. (1) I check in and the first thing I experience was a Very long screw was installed on the entrance door that cut my fingers on. (2) The room smelt musty so when I opened the window to get fresh air into the room their was absolutely no screen on the window ! (3) I went to take my medical pills and then their was no cup or glass to take water with for my medications. (4) I then thought about taking a shower, I discovered that there was No Soap in the bathroom what so ever. (5) The most gross is when I observed LARGE clumps of human hair in the corners of the bathroom.. It was discussting !!! I photographed this with my cell phone camera.. After this I did not go back to the room for the second night..! I could not sleep there again the second night.. Nor did I get much sleep the first night after experiencing these conditions !!
I Desire Full Reinbursement of my moneyies PAID..$305.18 !!!

The Budget Inn in Neddles Ca should be fumigated and burned.

I won’t go into details, as there are to many issues, I will say that I was in the Hotel business for over thirty years and never stayed in a worst property.

The franchise should be yanked ASAP, and the regional manager put into a less damaging position.

I’ll never stay in a Budget in again

Danville, Viginia. Budget inn. I got a room at the budget inn and was first greeted at my room by two crsck heads. upon entering my room, i found extensive cigarette burns in the blankets on the bed. The walls were full of holes and white spackle. the shower curtain rod was not attached to the shower, the sink in the bathroom was bary attached to the wall, the bathroom was so disgusting that i could not shower or even sit on the toilet seat. Totally disgusting. You budget inn CEOs should all be fired for running a business like this. ill sleep in my car before o ever stay in another budget inn.

On a recent trip to Florida with my daughter, we stayed at the Budget in Jasper, FL.
It was the worst experience I have ever had with lodging.
The first room we were given was filthy! Stains dirt, dust and stains on just about everything from bedding to bathroon. We did not touch the room, as it was obvious that something was very wrong.
They're was only 1 double bed, the other one was ripped off the wall and was absent. The headboard remained on the wall, but that was it. That along with the odor and filth made me return to the office to get a new room.
The worker has no idea what room was what, and where to put us. Finally, she gave me a key to another room and we went to it.
This room had a horrible odor, not just smoke but nasty. Although it did have both beds, and since we were exhausted, after driving 12 hrs, we slept a on top of the bedding, because everything was dirty. We really didn't get rest, but daylight came and we had no towels to clean up with. I had to go to the office to request some, as the phone didn't work. The worker said she wasn't sure where they were, but would try to find some. That was concerning, but we just wanted to get out of there. She brought a couple towels, that were also nasty, and we left. I was so angry that I just paid over $75.00 to stay in the most awful place id ever been in my life. I was also afraid for our safety, as the door lock was not working , and the hook was the only way to keep the door somewhat closed. I am requesting my money back, and for your company to attend to this horrible Budget Inn. It does have you're name on it, and if this were my company Id be horrified to hear this. Please contact me, and let me know how you plan to compensate me for this unbelievable stay at your inn.
Very Upset

On Monday, April 8th at 2:15am I arrived at the Williamsburg Kentucky location after a full day's travel from Florida- heading to northwest Ohio.

I was assigned Room 105. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years and was shocked at just how vulgar and unkempt this property was!! The overall presentation including maintenance and fixtures were outdated and less than poor. I was afraid to pull back the covers on the bed for fear of what I'd find! There was a very loud tweeting/chirping noise which I can only assume was a bird's nest by the door. The walls were paper thin so I could hear *every* noise. I could not sleep so after approximately 3 hours, I decided just to leave and continue my journey. I then noticed signage on the bathroom wall that stated that the room rate for 1 person was $34.99. At the desk, I paid cash and was charged $54!!!! This is outrageous. I quickly turned in my key and left. I am tempted to contact the local Better Business Bureau as well as the Board of Health. I was scammed out of $20 "and" had an awful stay. I cannot stress just how abominable this property is. I fully expect you to amend this immediately.

The establishment is infested with fleas, my body is covered in flea bites, I called to get my receipt emailed to me and her exact words were “ma’am i’ve already given you a receipt what did you do with the one I gave you “ ........ and acted as if she couldn’t send it to me ! I called corporate and at first they tried to make me feel like I didn’t know which hotel I stayed in, also after all of that he told me I can’t file a complaint with them , SO WHAT EXACTLY IS THE POINT OF CORPORATE IF THEY DONT WANT TO KNOW HOW DISGUSTING THEIR EMPLOYEES AND ESTABLISHMENT IS! AND I AM SERIOUSLY DECIDING ON WHETHER I SHOULD SUE !

This people expect their rent and deposit right away .. They take over a month to give you your deposit . I checked out on December,24,2019 it's January 29 2019 and still no check .. I call everyday to check ..The staff like Kenny is really rude . I feel if I did call everyday they wouldn't have forgot about my deposit. So now when I call they transfer me to Kenny and his got a really bad attitude and basically tells me to stop calling. He even says I call 4times a week and I should stop . What an asshole
If you did your job right then I wouldnt have to call

20

I complained to Booking.com over this property..and asked them if they ever visited any of these properties. Not sure if this is part of your chain / franchise or not...if it is you need to take action.. In one word....DUMP! Broken down, filthy dirty. I have never ever stayed at a property is this state of dis-repair. I felt sorry for the staff who were very helpful....and trying to make this property work....It is also being used as an extended stay facility...so there are children all over the place, and noise. Many strange people hanging around at night. I did not feel safe....I did not unpack..kept all my gear in the trunk of my car. I booked for 14 days...left after 2 days.

20

First the staff was horribly rude, instead of working they hang out with friends that are just sitting around the lobby. Second I reserved a king bed and was told other reservations came before mine and I was down graded to a full. Even though I made my reservations on the hotels website and it said there was 3 king available. There is no ac in my room only fan setting and heat. No hot water in the shower. Dust everywhere and cobwebs on the wall. Moved some things and found bugs. There was hair and food in the sink. The toilet paper hadn’t been changed. Chipped paint all over the floor. Just disgusting! What are they charging customers for!? Bad service dirty rooms cold showers and no ac in a hotel room on Florida ?! This place is a joke!

20

The room was absolutely disgusting! First off the lobby was locked when we arrived to check in, we had to converse through a glass window, not very appealing or safe! This should have been my first clue something wasn't right. The room had dead bugs all over the floor, we found live bugs in the sink and the tub. The room had a very bad odor, it smelled like musty bleach, we both ended up with a severe headache the next morning. There was at least a one inch gap at the bottom of the door, making every noise echo in the room. You could hear every person outside, every car, every noise! The room was very sparse, there was no luggage rack, no dresser, only a table with the tv on it and a rolling chair, the fridge with a small microwave on top of it, that's it! Where are you supposed to put your luggage, on the floor? the pictures on the internet are very deceiving, they show an easy chair and one even shows a couch. There were neither of these in that room. There was no shampoo or conditioner or kleenex. Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m., someone on the other side of the wall started drilling. When we inquired about it, the manager said they had hired painters to do some renovating and she couldn't control what time they were working. Seriously, 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning! We did talk to the manager the next morning, made our complaints known, she never apologized for the condition of the room or the painters. She said she could not refund any of our money for the next 4 nights either. We just left, totally disgusted and sick with headaches. In talking to family during that day on Sunday (we were in Florida to visit our very sick aunt), they said don't stay at the Budget Inn, they were recently in the news for having bed bugs and a known criminal staying there. Real comforting! Made my decision to not go back even easier. In the meantime we booked 4 nights at the Days Inn in Port Charlotte, not as close to our aunts location, but definitely 100% improvement. I contacted Hotels.com through which we had booked the hotel for the 5 nights. Told them of the issues. The gentleman I talked to contacted the Budget Inn in North Port, but was unable to talk to the person over the Manager as he was not answering his phone. He gave me his name and number and asked if I was comfortable contacting him on my own. I tried the next day but only got a voice mail. I tried then the next day and finally was able to reach Devon, which he said he would check out my complaints, was even at the hotel that day, and would call me back in an hour. I waited two hours and I called him back. He apologized, said he forgot to call me back (good for business!) but said that he was unable to do anything for me. He said the only thing they could do is the people that ran the hotel in North Port would take care of me if I wanted to stay there again. Really, why would I go back to a smelly, nasty, bug infested, unsafe place, even for free! We do travel quite a bit and have belonged to hotels.com for quite some time and would have to say I have never, ever had such a bad experience with a hotel as I did with the Budget Inn, North Port. I have also warned all of my family and friends that may travel to Florida to visit this Aunt not to stay there. If you want to contact me, I can provide any additional information you may need. Thank you for taking the time to read this complaint. I cannot attach an image to my complaint as I didn't take any pictures.

while my fiance and I had stayed at the budget inn in Troy ohio on the dates of November 5th & 6th. one of the management personell had blantly walked into our room at approximately 10:30am both mornings without warning my fiance was just getting out of the shower and as well for me i was in the process of getting dressed. very unprofessional and this matter should be taken seriously... sincerely Mr. Rhodes

We stayed at the Budget Inn at 4111 Crain Hwy., Upper Marlboro, Md. 20772 on August 26, 2018. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. The rugs were so disgusting that we were afraid to take off our shoes. The bathroom wasn’t much better. We wouldn’t use it except to brush our teeth and potty. The room had a kitchenette at one time, but no sink, just the whole, the cabinets were falling down and the fridge was disgusting. Neither of us slept that night and had towels on the pillows. We were up and out of there by 3:30 in the morning. I would in no way ever recommend this Inn to anyone and would be embarrassed to tell anyone we stayed there. It was late at night and sent on a detour from 95. Had no idea where we were, hungry and tiered so we stopped at our he only place we found. What a big mistake!

Thank you for listening and I would suggest that you send someone to visit this location. I know I wouldn’t want my name on that sign!

PS: I don’t think I would even give it 1star!!!

To whom it may concern;
Hello, I am not ordinarily a complainer, but I believe I can not let the incredibly poor establishment I stayed in overnight on July 18th, 2018 go by the wayside without sharing this information. It was the most horrid situation I have ever found myself in in my 71 years of being on this earth.
For starters, the good part was that the person that waited on me at the desk, was pleasant. He gave me direction to the rear of the building that was the beginning of the nightmare.
1. The room, 107 was located on a corner of the building with no parking stalls in front of the room. Therefore my belongings needed to be carried to the room.
2. After entering the room, the first indication, of things being array was the smell, not a pleasant one. what was it? I can only guess.
3. There were no towels, washcloths soap, toiletries of any kind. If there had been I would of still chosen not to step into the filthy dirty shower.
4. After a 12 hour day on the road traveling across country to my home, I was more than exhausted from my day of travel. Budget Inn was the first Motel I saw when exiting into Topeka, KS. I had stayed at a Budget Inn the night before in Tucumcari, NM, and it was the complete opposite. Well maintained!
5. Then there was the fact of pulling back the bedspread and getting ready to rest for the night. The most shocking, gross, disappointing and disgusting next view was dirty, smelly, stained bedding, including the pillow. Even my pets did not know what to do. They demonstrated fear. Of course by this time it was dark and I could not go any further to find another place. I have Macular Degeneration. (poor night vision).
6. I had to lie down as I have multiple health issues including Severe Osteoporosis. (Brittle Bones) I did not undress for bed into my pajamas as I was concerned I may have to get out in the middle of the night. Even left my shoes on.
7. There was also a very old television in the room, nonfunctional and only showed snow.
8. When I went outside in early a.m., the first thing I saw was dogs wandering loose around and in the nearby open smelly dumpster.
Please look into this establishment and don't continue to allow the general public to rent here. It's a disgrace and corporate should be ashamed to charge people to stay here.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Jones

I made reservations at Budget Inn in St. Robert, MO for July 31 through Aug 3, 2018 and I needed to make a change and I called the Budget Inn to make the change. I spoke with a man who had an accent and when I told him what I wanted he said"I don't have time to deal with that. Go on line and make the changes." I did and I cancelled my reservations and I booked with another motel. I don't appreciate being talked to in that manner.

I had a room in paseo Robles reserved for a wedding, and had a family emergency, a dying family member and asked if I could be refunded due the unfortunate circumstances and was denied. The cold hearted owner was not understanding or accommodating and in a terrible time I am so disgusted with their customer service.

My wife and I were in the process of moving to Stockton CA and made a reservation through Hotel.com. We arrived at the motel (Budget Inn and Suites on Hammer rd in Stockton, and found 1st the manager put us in a room on the 2d floor ( my Wife was VERY clear that we are disabled and require GROUND FLOOR. The manager became "less than friendly and gave us room 108. The ONLY good part of that room was that it WAS on the ground floor. It had NOT been cleaned and smelled of old food "rotting" and mildew and mold. When I went back to the manager (his sign said within 20 minutes to complain, I was there in 10 minutes), the manger said we could just leave. Since I SAW him swipe my credit card I asked for a receipt, HE absolutely refused!!! My wife called the Hotel.com people, who agreed to give us back our money, however I called the Police because I KNEW he had swiped my credit card, who knows who has the acct # now? Further the Police came out and spoke with me and told us ( my Wife and Me ) that THAT motel was under constant Police surveillance because it was a Known "haven for drug dealers and prostitutes. AND YOUR CORPORATION WANTS THAT AS YOUR EXAMPLE? Don't even compare yourself to Motel 6, That's where we went to next, fabulous by comparison!!!!! If this manager releases or uses MY card number for so much as a stick of gum, so help me I will bring a lawsuit agaimst you so fast you won't have time to blink.

My wife and I stayed at your Budget Inn at 3200 S. Orlando Dr, Sanford, Fl 32773 from 02/05/2018 and checked out at 11 am on 02/08/2018 for a total of 4 days. (Monday night thru Thursday night) We were in room #217. The bathroom ventilator did not work and halfway through our stay, the air conditioner quit working in the middle of the night and we requested to be moved to another room. My wife and I both have heart conditions and are in our 60's. The night manager (finally) agreed to give us another room. This was room #207, which was completely on the other side of the building. Not only did he not offer any help in moving our belongings, but he actually had the gall to call us and ask if we could hurry it up because he was getting noise complaints that he said was us moving to the new room. I assure you, we were being as quiet as we could possibly could be. We were not angry at the time and were glad to get a room with a working A.C. The night manager (a gentleman with a middle eastern accent and I only refer to this for identification purposes) gave me 1 key/card to room 207 and I gave him back the 2 keys/cards to room 217. The card to room 207 worked 1 time and would not open the door anymore after that. Rather than bother the management anymore, we simply made sure one of us remained in the room or we left the door slightly open in order to not get locked out. We have stayed at Budget Inns in the past, with no unpleasant experiences. The attitude of the management and condition of this Budget Inn is shameful. When we checked out, it was on time and the 1 key was returned. We did no damage to the rooms and we don't smoke. Now we see an additional unexplained $50 charge to my credit/debit card. Thank you, Webb Brewer.

When we first arrived at Budget Inn the manager told us it would be a different (much higher) price than first said said on phone. We get in the room and we found that the cieling leaked, there was mold under table. We asked for a room change and the owner said that the leak would stop. We told him our 9yr old daughter would get sick from mold and he said sorry he couldn't do anything about it. There were no other rooms. A week later he's trying to kick us out. What do we do?

This is the nastiest motel I have EVER been in! There is blood splattered all over the walls from people shooting up, it is dirty and nasty! I was greeted by a cockroach when I entered the room, I have been unable to sleep one second because of the filth! The lampshades are falling apart. I have taken pictures because the filth is shit unreal and no one will believe the extent unless they see the pictures!

Came back to my room 239 approximately 5:30 pm and to our surprise our room was not cleaned. Beds were not changed and made, dirty towels were still on the floor in a pile and garbage was sitting in our room for 2 days. I saw a guy on our floor vacuuming an empty room, i asked him if we can get towels and he said he didn't know he's in this room now.. Really. Then after that, we went to front office to get towels and to find out why our room wasn't cleaned and the lady at the front desk said she couldn't tell us and she said the person who does overnighters he picks and chooses what rms he wanted to clean. They send a guy up knocks on the door and tells me that i had to remove my garbage and gave us one towel, one hand towel and a wash cloth. I paid for 4 night stay and maintaining the rooms very poor service. The lady in the front office very honest and she didn't understand why either. Very honest and tries to find out why.

My husband and I are traveling and we stopped in Laytonville Calf on hwy 101 to get a room from budget inn. We've never had a problem before at a budget inn until now. I am disabled and I travel with a service dog that is federally registered. When my husband signed into the room, he informed her of the dog she then told him there was a $50 deposit required. He then informed her it was against the law to charge for a service animal. She told him she didn't care what the law was and this was her policy and if we didn't like it we could leave. It was 11:00pm and unfortunately there was nothing else available or trust me we would have.

My husband paid the demanded amount and we stayed the night. When we got up this morning they would not check us out until they inspected the room, her husband then came to the room and walked through checking the closet, bathroom, tub, walls, carpet, bed and even checked the windows and looked up at the ceiling! My husband and I are 57 and 65 years old and not likely to destroy a room. We will not be staying in a budget inn again and will be informing the federal registry to take further actions in regards to my service animal.

Checked in at Budget Inn in Durant, Oklahoma went to room. The room was dirty and smelt bad. Bedspread and sheets were dirty. Roaches in room immediately, so I went to the office and checked out. So called refrigerator dirty with frozen over freezer. Used my credit card lady said my card would not be charged and manger would have to cancel credit on Monday this was a Friday afternoon. I asked the name of the Manger lady said they do not give out this information. I would need to call back Monday. My concern is that I will be charged for the two nights. Don't even rate a one star for customer service.

Customer service by Budget Inn is terrible I have never felt more unwelcome in a hotel in my life and I stayed in a lot of hotels. I will never stay or recommend anyone to stay at the one on hammer lane in stockton California. I hope I wasn't treated badly because of my race. They tried to make me feel like they was doing me a favor by letting me stay at their hotel. I respectfully asked for my money back and went to a different hotel.

My complaint is that the owner or manager at your Richlands and Claypool Hill Va. location is very rude. I called to see if he was hiring for front desk and he told me to get off my rear and go look for a job. Then he says that he isn't trying to be rude and yes he was. How this place stays in business I have no clue. I worked for Holiday Inn Express for 8 years a company bigger then yours and I have never in my entire life been spoken too like that.

I was a guest at the Budget Inn in Okeechoobee Fl Saturday night August 20th. When I went to pay for another night and ask for more towels. The lady at the front desk asked the man that is remodeling the hotel to get them for me. As he was handing me the towels his girlfriend came in and was verbally attacked. She started calling me names and throwing things. I called the police. They took her home, which was great for me. But I went to the front desk to make sure that she wasn't coming back and the guy who came into the office with his wife. Told me that he didn't want me at the hotel.

Mind you I did nothing wrong. I was just making sure that she wasn't coming back. He wasn't even there when any of this happened. He had his wife refund my money for the 2 nights. I felt it was a great injustice as I did nothing wrong and to kick me out of the hotel. As a paying guest infuriates me. I had to wait for my boyfriend to get there but the guy at the front desk didn't care he told me to leave and it didn't matter if I had a ride.

It's a fraud motel and worst place ever. I want to complain to the corporate officials so that it will be closed. I canceled my stay and they refunded me and then after a week they charged me again. When I called the front desk, they are very rude and behaved like did not matter. Please stop scammers. This was the Budget Inn Austin, TX.

I stayed at the budget inn numerous times some times for months and one day me and my fiance just paid a week and went back to room no hot water no electricity bed bugs that they refused to do anything about.and the week was like that with two days comped for inconvenience and. Pay time comes for following week and they expect payment? I contacted city inspector who is also on my side and management. Threatened me I have all this on film and was put out got other patrons to watch me and my fiance belongings till we found a place.

Came back two days later and the fellow and young lady I got to watch our stuff said acting management said they would kick them out of they held our stuff so she told the couple to put our belongings outside so they did. I called police every thing was verified and they and city inspector said that they would go to court as well I have all evidence and witness's Completely dissatisfied.

We, me, my dad and step-mother, stayed at the Budget Inn at El Reno, OK. We were all attacked by bed bugs. When my dad called the hotel he was told, "We do not have bed bugs. We check every 15 days." and then the woman on the phone hung up on my dad. The room was in very poor condition with blood stains on the curtain that was hanging off the curtain rod. I have pictures of the condition of the room and of our bed bug bites. Also, I have the paperwork from my ER visit and my parents visits for their doctors along with prescription information.

Just like the old adage says: "you get what you pay for." Well, I got a good deal at Budget Inn and Suites and that's because it was the worst hotel experience in my life. The rooms were ill-kept, the staff was rude, and the place overall just looked dingy and unbecoming. It's worth it to pay a little more and stay some place nicer. Preferably with a clean bathroom and nice staff.

Stayed at the Budget Inn for a tounament competition. Most of the people participating stayed at the Budget Inn as well so we all got a group deal... or so we thought. They were over-booked and understaffed. I requested a King bed for me and my lady friend, and when we checked-in they said that they only had rooms with 2 queens available and that's it. Well, we got the room–making sure that it was smoke-free–only to walk into the room and it reaked with smoke. 2 lamps didn't work, we were only allowed two towels at a time. After my lady friend took a shower, she had to the give the attendant one of her used ones in order for me to get a clean one. When asking the front desk for anything, it took so long for them to reply or help. Will not be going back there again.
