Budget Inn Carthage

It was close to my destination.

Location Beds were so thin it was like laying on just springs with no cushion. Staff was rude and didn’t seem to even know what they were doing.

Good location for where we were going. Close to a few restaurants. The staff was less than friendly. Staff was very rude. The room had a sewer gas leak and stunk just enough to be annoying. We only stayed one nite. And with the staff being rude, u didnt want to call and ask for another room. I was too tired. Do not recommend.

You get what you pay for. Cheap room. Set your expectations low. Room smelled like sewage. Cig burns on blanket.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to try the breakfast there, but I’m sure it was delicious. Next time I stay, I’ll definitely make sure to give it a try. The location itself was quite nice. Honestly, I liked everything about my stay. The Budget Inn provided a wonderful experience, and I was genuinely happy with it. I’m already planning to return soon.

This is a low budget hotel, but it's one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in, and that's comparing it to high-end hotels. My bed was ver comfortable as well.

Niel the owner is great. Is very accommodating to guests. He loves volleyball too😁

The man at the dest was down to earth and extremely helpful and to top it off the guy was a fellow South Carolinian!

nothing it was great

No dislikes :)

Having to get up so early! Lol

No hot water in sink.

xxxx

Clean and nice room. Great stay at a great price

Everything was excellent. I wish there was more food choices in the area, but that's not the motels responsibility.

Good location Very clean The bed was not comfortable! It was very hard!

Good

Clean, but walls were concrete block like a prison cell, and there was a thin door to the next room so I could hear everything the person was doing

There was no breakfast

It was a great place

Good staying!! Very clean

I have stayed at this hotel a few times now for work and I can’t speak highly enough. From management to the actual room, I have nothing but great experiences. My only regret is that I didn’t stay here sooner! Highly recommend!

Close to the River

Older property, but very well taken care of

The water pressure in the shiwer is excellent.

Room was bear minimum. No microwave or closet but did have fridge. Bedding was old. Room appeared clean. Nothing else close so had to stay there

Room was clean, people were friendly, customer service was amazing. No complaints other than the pillows but we travel with our own so not a problem.

Room heater in room 134 seens to need a repair. Very noisy.

Very clean. Basic but that’s all you need.

Clean, a little out dated, but there were no bugs. The room was clean, the parking lot was clean, all in all, good hotel. Rates were ok.

Great experience

The only thing that git my attention was the noise of the air conditioner. But after one night it actually became a white noise.

Clean basic motel room so nothing fancy. Priced appropriately for what you get.

Older motel, but very clean rooms. Beds were comfortable. Located next to McDonald's.

Office help was great

The room is very clean.the staff super nice.

Reasonable price. No frills. Older motel with new renovations. Clean but spartan with minimal creature comfort.

Reasonable rate clean. Close to my event.

Not luxurious by any stretch but extremely clean and well cared for.

The front desk clerks were very friendly. We were in room 112 on January 9th and my bed only had 2 pillows which seemed flatter than usual, so it was difficult for me to get comfortable. The worst part was being next door to some young guys playing video games all night, so we couldn't get to sleep until after 1 am, because they were very noisy.

Check in was easy. Courteous. We were able to check in early which was a great bonus!

Probably the cleanest hotel room I have ever been in

We found the room to be pretty old, but very up to date in plumbing and lighting fixtures. The mattress is 2 star standard, but overall I would say not bad and would happily stay there again. Both the occasional chair and the desk chair were very comfortable.

Straight forward Modern And a good value

Window sill full of dead bugs and shower plumbing doesn’t work properly

The manager was extremely professional and polite. Room was clean nicely. Would like to have had a coffeemaker and complimentary coffee packages in room.

we found the room to be extremely clean. the shower was a 10, clean lots of water pressure and tons of HOT water. the staff was very polite and nice. not a frills place but clean, very clean.

It was very good.

Friendly staff and close to where I was going.

The property is older but kept up nicely.

Not fancy but clean and comfortable.

Nice and quite, clean rooms nicely decorated

It was a positive experience. I would stay there again.

It was alright. You get what you pay for. The scent of the cleaning products was overbearing and the blankets were super itchy. They charged me $10 extra per person which I found insane. I only needed the room to nap while driving across country. Was there less than 8 hours. The room was clean. Very bare and plain. They had signs everywhere- no visitors; no refunds. Wasn’t very welcome. The area was load and down the road from a jail. It was super noisy. Ambulances, trucks driving by all night. The heater sounded like a truck starting every time it went on. I would have been better off sleeping in my truck.

Ok stay

Clean and spacious. Traveling writers might gather inspiration from an overnight stay. Location is close to rich Tennessee history and breathtaking performances by nature. Smoking room did not have stagnant air. This was my experience

friendly people clean rooms good price

My fiance took this trip as I had to work. They upgraded him from a double to a king size and charged him $17 more. Showed as same price on Hotels.com. Bed was hard and his room was next to McDonald's and the traffic kept him awake. Toiletries were slim. No frills motel.

We ended up bringing 2 extra people with us. Had to pay extea. I didn’t mind paying extra but it was much more than their policy online stated. Clerk insisted I pay it in cash when I handed him my card. Then Expedia called and asked for more money because he reported it and said I didn’t pay. Asked for a receipt as proof and he gave me a hand written sticky note. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on my account!

No frills, but very clean and priced extremely reasonable. ONLY suggestion/complaint is the bath amenities. Too small soap and shampoo. Everything else was great.

The check in process was terrible. I had paid and booked online through Hotels.com. I rang the bell and a man came and motioned me to the night window. (It was around 10:00 pm) Not only could I not hear him through the glass, there was also a language barrier and he was very condescending toward me. He asked for my credit card and I explained I had already paid so he proceeded to tell me if I tore anything up in the room it would cost me not him and Hotels.com wouldn’t pay for damages. He asked me twice if I had a dog. I did not — just a husband. We are in our fifties, were there for a funeral and don’t go around trashing hotels. He provided poor customer service and was just simply rude. The motel is old and dated but appeared to be fairly clean. The basics were in the room such as soap, towels, toilet paper, hair dryer, microwave, fridge and a coffee maker; however, the coffee maker still had the last customer’s old coffee still in the strainer. The shower didn’t work because the fixture was loose on the wall and the wall behind it was rotten.

Very comfortable. Pretty view. Greenery everywhere

Would def stay here again! Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was neat and clean with good housekeeping service and located in a small quiet town with no traffic hassles and McDonalds across the side street. Was impressed!! Would recommend.

I liked being able to park in front of my room, Not crazy about the speed bumps in front of the office.

Pleasant stay.

I'll recommended to anyone.

This hotel was AMAZING!! Check in was quick and the staff was incredibly nice, even offering to help carry my bag in!! The room was VERY clean, every thing updated and nice decor. I was really surprised at how nice it was!! The only drawback is the bed was a king, and it was on a steel frame with coils. It squeeked every time you rolled over, BUT the bed was comfortable, and I had a very good nights rest. Convinient to several restuarants, McDonalds basically in the parking lot!! I highly recommend!!

From the desk service until the clean room everything was excellent.

The staff were great, great food near by, clean and comfy rooms. Easy to get to.

You can stay here. Don't be afraid. Don't ask for room 13.

The guy at the counter gave me hell from the moment he came to the window. He denied giving me the room after it had already paid for it only because my 17 year old daughter's plans changed so she came with me and when i got the room earlier that day i just put 1 person not 2!!! Needless to say i didn't stay and he refused to refund my money

Comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. Nothing fancy but a solid affordable road-trip stop.

Very tight parking was only given bare minimum room amenities tv sucked

I

Friendly service

It was pretty good. A little bit noisy

handled. No I wasn't rude, yes I am white. Yes I believe in God, yes Sunday is the Sabbath. Yes this was negligence from the staff to clearly address a simple inconvenience of their service for my stay. The "early in the day, it is cooler, so they start early" doesn't consider me to squats.

Check in staff member not professional at all and rude.

It was nice

Very nice town. Good hotel for the price.

Very clean, neat place. The staff was nice. Bed was not very comfortable. Location was good.

Small motel with average sized room, small bathroom, mini-fridge, and excellent TV and AC systems. Next-door to McDonald's for quick food. No coffee maker or micro-wave oven. Along busy highway with occasional vehicle noise.

The room was nice, spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful, it was a nice place to stay!

The room was relatively nice for the price. But the person who checked us in was very rude and seemed to be in a rush at 10 o’clock at night.

Affordable and very clean. Check in and check out easy.

I didn't expect much. It was clean. The bad things were the mattress and towels. The mattress was too firm. I felt beat up after sleeping. The towels were cheap and the quality I would use in a garage. Come On Man!

Decent place to crash for the night. It was quiet on a Sunday night. $20 more expensive than the Motel 6s, but smelled better.

The room was nice. The beds were comfortable but bring your own pillow because the pillows there are very small. Very pleased with the cleanliness of the room.

Seems like a nice family run place. Check in was great, the location was really quiet. I was worried with how busy the road it's on sounded, but being in a small town meant that in the evening everything was super quiet. Comfortable bed, room was very clean. We would certainly stay again!

Near restaurants and grocery store. Walkable as well.

This is an older motel with all new renovations. It's so worth the price. Its clean, the staff is so friendly. You can see how hard they try to keep it up. My room was awesome. My room was spacious,, had a desk, chest of drawers, microwave, fridge, chair, bed side tables, plenty of convenient outlets for my laptop. It's just a great space for the money

Clean bedding and room but smelled of smoke because of adjoining rooms. Thin walls and next door occupants loud until midnight. Traffic noise is loud. No pets sign at lobby but this was NOT listed on description on booking. They did allow our service dog with papers. Charged extra for third person in a 4 person room! 2 queen beds!

The gentleman behind the counter that assisted me was very in-depth at his job, looked down and mumbled when trying to talk to me and I had to have him repeat what he was saying multiple times because of the accent combined with mumbling.

Decent value in an area with few hotels. No breakfast, but try the Rojas diner in town.

I was disappointed on 9th i paid for room but when i went to the budget inn no one is there i know that foor and i called them 8 times nobody pick up my calls and i called to the expedia customers they also tried several times to call them but no one response ..it was very bad and disappointing things there is no hospitality..after waiting outside for 1 hour ...one guy came out and he started making drama..he said one one call me ..i called him 8 times and expedia customer girl called him 10 times then. Still he is lying .that guy is terrible .when i woke up at the morning someone scratched my cars which is terrible ! These inn is not good not safe to stay here ..

I walked in at 5 pm to check in. After waiting in the lobby for a couple of minutes the guy comes to the room. I advised him that I was there to check in. He proceeded to get my name and the first thing he said is “Where have you been I canceled your reservation. You didn’t check in by 1 pm so I canceled your room”. Rudest person I’ve ever spoke to. My expiration date had expired on my credit card so I had to send my boyfriend to get my card. The person at the counter would not even allow me to stand inside the lobby. He said would you stand outside until he returns. HORRIBLE STAY AWAY. We went to Lebanon and had a much better room and service

Fantastic customer service. The owner is a great dude that seems to really care about his properties.

very good

Clean and convenient. I appreciate the availability of smoking rooms and this place is always clean.

When i walked in the man had an attitude. He was rude. I drove 6 hours away to get to where i was going and we was very tired.

Very clean no smell.. the bed though was very hard.

As indicated in reviews before, this place is a gem! It’s very basic but very clean! I come to this area for pleasure monthly and I will stay here again. No food available at the hotel but there are a ton of places to eat around.

Not a bad place, pretty clean, not a bad value for the money

Room was clean and the staff was very friendly.

Affordable and convenient!

Everything was fine... 1 night or 5 nights of stay would have been great. Would stay again if i go back...

Nice people that are running a motel that was built decades ago. It has been updated nicely and is kept clean. It took me back to a era of few interstate hwys and a small town stay.

We have stayed here several times. Everything is always very clean. The owners are very friendly although they can be a little hard to understand sometimes. We have had a little trouble with the heaters in the rooms but for the price this is a very good place to stay.

Well up on arriving the first thing he go from me was my credit card. Because he needed to charge me for my stay. And after all that. I knew it was gonna be done hill. Heavy traffic all night, people talking loudly, lots of people traffic. I will never go back to that hotel again. And if I was to hear if someone is heading that way I will let them know not to go. I will not recommend that hotel to my worst enemy. Lost my money to someone that is not never in the front desk. But sure as hell he got my card and swipe it pretty fast. I’m so disappointed with the hotel. And who ever is running it.

Personally, I couldn't fault the place, the only draw back some may find is that it doesn't have breakfast in the morning; but McDonald's is right next door.

This is my choice of hotel to stay in each time I visit my boyfriend who lives in Smithville, TN. The staff/owners are very courteous and friendly. I left my favorite pillow the last time I stayed and the owner set it aside after I called him and I got it back this time I stayed... Thank you! The room was very clean and if I needed anything all I had to do was ask. Until I get moved back to Smithville I will be definitely staying here again!

Nothing fancy but certainly fufilled our need to have somewhere to sleep near where our family lives. Older place but looked recently spruced up with modern paint and decor. Would recommend to anyone who's just looking for a clean comfy place to sleep.

Very nice and clean. Stayed there last year and they have done some remodeling since.
