The room was clean but not in very good condition, especially for the price. The toilet clogged once, the shower was difficult to operate, and some of the repairs were sloppily made. Beds were just OK.

Budget Inn Is Amazing Value!

Budget Inn was perfectly located, plenty of convenient stores and fast food or restaurants to consider, walking distance to parks and other shopping, the owner was amazing and very hospitable and checked in on us a couple of times each day, I’m a business owner and that kind of hospitality goes a long way, we will definitely be staying again within the next week or two
