Ok first off. The room was awesome and good. The shower was good 👍. Carpet was clean, the refrigerator was near the door,but the only i got charged was a pet fee, after I told the front desk that I had a service animal and I got charged $57.38 , and on the the app it said that service animals were exempt from fee's, and I still had to pay..I like the place.but maybe change the service animal on the app saying service animals will be charged, but I will stay there again for another 2 days and give it another try, RESPECT 🙏.

Cockroaches in room on final night. Rooms are in need of major upgrades. Feels like a degrading building that is barely hanging on. Water was out for two hours when I checked in. The woman at the counter was very friendly though.

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
