    It is an older property but fairly well maintained. The room was well kept and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The pool was very clean but could use some new furniture, and the water was refreshing on a hot afternoon. There are plenty of dining options in the area. Access to the property is a bit tricky, especially with heavy traffic in the area. The best part about this property was the price, which was by far the lowest in the area. The staff was polite and helpful and the coffee in the lobby was fresh and readily available. We will stay here again.

    It was a good deal for what we needed (one short overnight close to our daughter’s anp ). An older property is understandable, but I’m not sure whether I’ll choose this place again. Cleanliness and a well-stocked room are more important to me than a fancy look. Maybe they just gave us a room that wasn’t really ready.

    mold on grout in tub/shower area. toilet not cleaned very well and hair on floor in sink area where previous guest had shaved... Internet never worked in our room. More attention to detail would serve the owners well. Wouldn't take much other than a bit more effort. fencing around pool area needs to have a wire brush to it and repainted for a fresh look. pool was good and nice it was available for late October. I don't normally leave a poor review.

    For the price Budgetel was great. There was one light bulb out and one plug didn't work. Caulking in the bathroom was a little sloppy and the duck tape on the floor between the carpet and tile instead of a proper metal strip was a little tacky. The fixtures in the bathroom were in need of replacing but still worked. I'm Overall I would stay there again and this was in fact the second time.

    Upon arrival, the room was already paid by credit card. It was done online. I paid then with my debit card. I was in room 203. I opened the door and the mirror that was where the sink was, was so streaked and appeared dirty. I then needed to use the toilet. There was poop on the seat and urine under the seat. The floor in the bathroom had debris on it. The bathtub had dirt and bugs in it. There was something clumpy white on the tile wall. I never used the tub. The carpet in the room had food and debris on it. There was no pad covering the mattress and no pillow covers. Only pillow cases. There was no bar soap. I had to go to the office to get soap. There was a big bug crawling on the floor. I killed it and left it there. Nasty.

    The front desk clerk was friendly. However, the room and overall appearance was very dirty. Roaches in the fridge, and bed bugs in the sheets. We did not sleep there. Only used the restroom once, and did not want to bother trying to get another room because of how awful it all was. Please ask owners to revamp the place to a more pleasing aesthetic and cleanliness.

    The 1st room was supposed to be smoke free and it reeked of cigarette smoke. They let me change rooms. The 2nd room, had cigarette ash on the phone receiver, a hole in the door, the bathtub was dirty, the coffee pot was filthy, and the lamp was dusty. I told them and they offered to let me switch again, but I didn't want to. I asked them to clean the room again while I was out. I came back to a cleaner bathtub and a new phone with several buttons missing. I've stayed at hotels for the same price and they were much nicer!!! The staff was friendly and did try to help.

    It was a Saturday, so finding a hotel wasn’t going to be easy. Believe me if we could’ve, we would’ve went and changed hotels after being in that room for five mins. There was a condom, along with the wrapper behind the bed. Dead roach behind the tv. The bath tub was disgusting, as if it hadn’t been cleaned. The refrigerator did not stay cold. The room was very hot when we arrived, and took hours to actually cool down.

    This place was a dump, worse waste of money I've ever spent. Crack under door snakes could come in.20 year old microwave that sounded like a garbage disposal you left a knife in. Went to fix my pillows to watch tv and the headboard fell off on me! Did I mention that there was NO phone in the room. Plumming left alot to be desired. Mattresses did not fit the box spring, I kept falling off. When I reported to the manager the headboard had fallen on me, he asked for the room number so he could put it back up. Never asked if I was ok or anything. I need a refund for this roach motel. What do you think?

    We came into town about 3:30 Saturday afternoon, we were met at the door by the owner who informed us that they had a fire in the night before. We were not ever notified by the hotel or Expedia that our reservation had been cancelled by force. We then had to track down a room on a Saturday in Kemah, last minute and ended up having to settle for a room far above our budget and below our accommodating needs (1 king bed for 4 adults).

He showed my cousin and I two other rooms that where I'm a worse condition. As it was late at night we stayed there sleeping on top of the beds . We spoke to the manager the next morning, who said that was it , bad luck and that we could of checked out . He did not seem to care at all . When we said that we would complain he gave me a 40 dollar credit of my card , I have done a review of the rooms for hotel.com and another 2 websites. Totally unacceptable. I have told friends and family about my stay. My cousin and I have taken pictures of the rooms and beds and will be happy to pass them on .

    The room was dirty. The floors weren't vacuumed, the sheets were damp, the bathroom tub had hair all in it, and the room smelled awful. The fridge was stinky and didn't work. The flooring was ripped up in the transition from carpet to bathroom. The beds were hard and the pillows were flat. Everything looked very old. The hotel was hard to get to and it appeared that half the rooms were empty. No refunds for unused days. A few sockets didn't work. The good : The staff was nice, Very polite. I will say that there were no bugs, which was unexpected, but a definite plus. Our room was easy to find, on bottom floor. Parking was a breeze, right in front of our room. Card keys worked just fine. Felt pretty safe, especially since it was just me and my two young children. If you need a cheap place to lay your head and don't mind a few inconveniences, then this place will do the job.

    The gentleman at the front desk was extremely friendly and prompt. However, the facility is not kept up very well. The lobby was unkempt and sofas appeared very worn. When we arrived in our room it had a horrible smell, the carpet was frayed in several places and unraveling, the bathtub had some sort of black staining all in the bottom, and the toilet wouldn't flush. The front desk person came and plunged the toilet and it worked after that. Overall, this place needs a complete face-lift

    We got this hotel because it was close to NASA and affordable. Nice front staff but this hotel was not the best. When I walked in, the check in area, smelled like urine. The room we stayed in had double beds. One mattress was caved to the side and gave me a back ache. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest. I guess you get what you pay for.
