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

Absolutely adorable property and the front desk was welcoming & accommodating. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the location is ideal being on the waterfront. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay with many dining options & activities within walking distance.

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.

Despite a booking error on Expedia, this place refused to even consider canceling the reservation without penalty since it wasn't my fault.
Other issues with the unit:
Smelled/stuffy
Carpet stains throughout
No light in the "balcony"
Holes in the walls
Incomplete paint patches
Extremely tight vanity space
Homeless man yelling and cursing to himself (felt unsafe)

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!
