I didn't care for such close proximity to the freeway due to the traffic noise, but, it was easy to get back on the road the next morning. I was able to drown out the noise with the tv volume.

Super low quality

I think this hotel is one step away from being torn down and rebuilt. It was definitely a low price hotel, but I’ve also stayed at other hotels, named Budget Inn at similar price that were in outstanding condition. This hotel is definitely a dump.

Budget Inn is Budget

Comfortably bed. Easy in out parking. Bathroom door sticks, looks like a loose hinge. Just off the freeway, lots of traffic noise. 2nd night needed to get re-keyed. Though we paid for 2 nights. Only 1 trash can in room.

Horribly advertised

The office closes early, opens up late, no coffee in room only the office and it's closed, bathroom door doesn't shut, the freeway noise is awful, bed was uncomfortable, bugs crawling on the floor. The lady that checked us in was nice. No we will never stay here again. Also Internet booking there was breakfast in the morning, there was No breakfast, none was available. Walls were awful.

Negatives: curtains were thin, let in a lot of light. Showered this morning, walked around the laminate floor barefoot - had to re-wash my feet because the floor was so dirty. Sparse amenities. The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful at check in. Other positives: the sheets and towels were clean and adequate.

Definitely a budget stay; if you’re not picky and just want a cheap bed for the night, this is for you. The ladies were as helpful as they could be, but they can only do so much with what they’re given. The AC and TV both worked great, but that’s really the only pro.. I had to move rooms twice and was eventually asked to return later upon arrival because my room was either still occupied or still dirty, though check-in time was at 3PM and it was about 4:30 at this point. It was all a bit annoying after a long drive, but I try to be understanding, so I came back later only to have to move from that room too because the deadbolt would not lock. After finally moving into a 3rd room, I decided I was tired of bothering the front desk and just wanted to shower for the night. Unfortunately, housekeeping was also not very good. There were splatters, drips, and handprints on both mirrors, the TV, the door handles, etc. Every surface was dusty and the fridge had food caked on it. Floor was covered in dirt, hair, and dead bugs, toilet still had waste on it, shower shelves were covered in soap scum. Just overall seems like housekeeping has not been trained properly and no one is checking their work. With all the complications I had checking in, in addition to having to clean my own room because I was sick of having to move after driving all day, I wouldn’t recommend. But like I said, if all you need is a place to stay out the way, this is it. Just keep your expectations low 👍

Place was filthy. There were holes in the floor and in the walls. The floor turned our feet black. It felt more like a public bathroom than a motel room. The motel is so close to the freeway the whole building shakes. Staff was rude and was knocking on the door asking us to leave 20 minutes before checkout time.

There was nothing I liked about this motel. The pictures of the rooms on the expedia web site were nothing like the actual rooms. I was in a nonsmoking room which reeked of cigarette smoke. The first nonsmoking room was so bad I asked to be moved. the second room was better but still had the cigarette smell. there were ashtrays or some sort of cigarettes disposal outside every door. the curtains were so thin you could see thru them, I had to hang a blanket over the window so people could not see in. The ac/heater was filthy. i bought Clorox wipes to wipe down everything and they were filthy afterwards. The window in the bathroom was frosted for privacy reason, but the frost was scratched off in several places. The office was supposed to be open at 8am but when I was leaving at 8:50 it was still closed. The pictures show a breakfast bar in the office which it did not have. I did take some pictures Which I would love to send you, This place should not be on the Expedia site. I trust expedia to suggest safe and clean places...this was not one. I even bought my own sheets because I did not trust that theirs was clean.
