Budget Inn Rocks & Owner Is Awesome

Stayed there for two nights in a row, the owner was amazing and very friendly and hospitable. I’ll definitely stay in the area again very soon.

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

6/10 Good

It’s fine. You get what you pay for. It’s an older facility so everything is pretty worn down and a bit crusty but all serviceable. It’s what I expected for budget.
chris, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We arrived a bit early but were allowed to check-in early. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a little older but priced accordingly. The location was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!
