So, yeah I booked the Budget Inn. Drove up and thought, oh HELL no! Had to check in at the Super 8 which I switched my reservation to. It’s still sketchy, and I definitely won’t stay here again. The only bright spots…bed IS comfy, great tv, hot tasty coffee, and the staff is Excellent!!!

Was given entry cards to 2 different rooms neither worked. Was a terrifying experience. Rooms can't be anywhere close to what pictures indicate. Ended up costing more just to have a bed for 7 hours. Very disappointed

I didn’t stay because when I pulled up place is boarded up and shut down. The hotel across the parking lot checked me in but when I saw the room, I couldn’t stay. Too dingy.

Without reading the fine print, you don't know that the check in location is at a different hotel. Another guest told me to check in at the Super 8. Hotel room smelled of cigarette smoke, area is sketchy, and I did not feel safe. Carpet is worn/frayed, walls and box springare stained with what looks like black ink, paint is sloppy, etc. Also, It didn't matter to me, but I booked a king room online and was put in a single queen room.

Horrible!! Stay at the Super 8 next door!
The place was horrible!! Went to check in and the hotel was completely dark! It look really old and abandoned. Only a few lights on near some rooms in the back. It looked like the trashy hotel rooms they show in a murder mystery movie. I didn’t know where to go so I pulled over near the Super 8 next door to cry because I thought I had wasted our money. I called the number listed for then Budget Inn and it rang and rang. My husband went next to door the super 8 and turned out that was where we were to check in! (Nowhere did it say that on the building or website) We got our room key and he went back to the room and he said it was clean, but the tv didn’t work at all (but he said it did have a full sized house refrigerator in there lol) I never went in. He went back to the super 8 to tell the lady about the tv. She was on edge because another family had just chewed her out about the quality of the Budget inn rooms. She was not allowed to go over to our room because of Covid19 measures. The lady then gave us a room at the super 8 with no extra charge. She was amazing and really glad we stopped at the Super 8. She probably saved us from a ton of critters and bed bugs too!

It’s a scam
This should not be a hotel. Only a small portion of the block of buildings even has power. The doors are white washed and rusty. There are mattresses and trash scattered about. Looking from the outside in, a few of the windows are broken in the “functioning” part of the hotel, and there are mattresses leaning against the windows that are still there. At least my door locked. I don’t know how they are allowed to advertise this as a hotel.
