My four-night stay
The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable and had a sufficient number of towels. It was also nice and quiet except for the air conditioner was a little noisy but not bad. For the price it was worth it.

Budget Inn, more like Budget Den
It was awful, do NOT stay there. We left in about 10 minutes. It felt like i was gonna get jumped. No security with locking doors, nasty bed, the front desk said they MIGHT have one extra blanket, she was on her personal phone almost the entire time. Asking for anything from this lady was met with annoyance or getting blown off. Did not feel safe or clean or anything there.

Thank you for the stay here at your hotel.
The stay was good. Good personality people. This hotel is something where I can recommend for people on lower budget. The manager is friendly. Thank you for letting me stay here.
