Budget Inn, more like Budget Den

It was awful, do NOT stay there. We left in about 10 minutes. It felt like i was gonna get jumped. No security with locking doors, nasty bed, the front desk said they MIGHT have one extra blanket, she was on her personal phone almost the entire time. Asking for anything from this lady was met with annoyance or getting blown off. Did not feel safe or clean or anything there.

The desk clerk was very nice! Bed was comfortable. Room had a smell, there was an air freshener attached to the conditioner- way too strong! Storm window is off the track, remote control barely worked (we tried new batteries, no change) the door unlocked ok, but there’s a problem with the door handle - doesn’t always want to open. New tub enclosure is nice.

Quiet, convienent, clean. The property is a bit outdated, but, they seem to be doing updates to at least a room everytime I have stayed, which had been a few times in the last couple months and I'll be back often when I'm in the area, you really can't beat the price for what you get.

I called ahead to say I would be checking in late, and to request a first floor room as I am 82 yo and had two large dogs. When I arrived, they had not saved me a first floor room. The receptionist/owner acknowledged the promise and apologized, but that did not change the fact I had to lug two crates and luggage up very steep stairs, not to mention going up and down for two days with the dogs. The room itself was satisfactory, but the “breakfast” was minimal and uninviting. This is an old hotel refurbished but still pretty shabby looking. It is conveniently located.

My four-night stay

The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable and had a sufficient number of towels. It was also nice and quiet except for the air conditioner was a little noisy but not bad. For the price it was worth it.

Property is in poor condition. Room was small outdated and not clean. Front and back doors were open for airflow. Questioned if mice came in. Would NOT recommend this place. Poor service and far from friendly. Was on second floor no elevator only steps and they were steep and only one person could go up the stairs at a time. Made 2 day reservation but only stayed one night.

Way below average, especially for the price!

This hotel is old, very run down and just plain gross. No elevator, so up the stair we went, with the smell of marijuana wafting in the air. I was afraid to take my shoes off in the room, not sure when the carpet was cleaned last, but it could sure use it. The room had been "renovated" and the headboard to the 2nd bed that use to be in the room was still on the wall, as well as the outline of that bed was on the carpet. The round wooden table in the room was moved from its original place and put where the 2nd bed use to the room. The newer, darker carpet from under that bed was now clearly noticeable now that it was no longer covered by that bed. The bed in the room was good. The mattress was comfortable, had clean sheets and no bed bugs. It provided a good night's sleep, but the train and the traffic just outside the room was another story. A white plastic folding table was put in the spot where the round wooden table use to be, and a dorm room size refrigerator was set on top of it. There was no microwave oven in the room, you have to go down to the main floor where there was a very small "community" microwave. The tv in the room was extremely small! We really wanted to go to the pool, but looking at it along with the condition of the pool area and the bathroom made us more than hesitant. The strange person walking around the outside of the pool made us feel uncomfortable and that we were being watched. Forget about breakfast and the eating area, you're best off going out.
