    The place is old and minimuly kept up. Provided bare minimums and the area leaves much to be desired. Cheap, yes but barely worth the money. Independant facilities lack corp. supervision, and this is obvious .... See above

    It is what its name says. Room was clean, except for the bathroom sink. Staff was friendly, but I had only two opportunities to interact with them. The place is in the process of renovation - my room had new flooring, for instance The neighborhood is not the nicest Tallahassee has to offer, but it is convenient to FSU.

    It was nice until I wanted to stay another day….. for 1 person and a single king on Expedia site …. It was $41….. when I went to rent another night I was told it would be $75…..??? And if I booked it on Expedia there would be a $10 charge for checking in early…… OR….. I could pay the Expedia rate again…. But I would have to leave by 11 and then wait for 4 hours and check in again at 3pm…… some really really weird rules…. I’ve been staying in many hotels and never heard this before….. they don’t seem to want people there for multiple days……

    I don't know where to begin. I selected a non smoking room. It smelled like smoke as soon as we walked in. I went to use the restroom and the door wouldn't close unless I picked it up. I don't mean a light lift either. The bathroom had pub hair all over the toilet. The sink wouldn't drain after washing my hands. Im not sure when the last time the comforters were washed. I told my son not even sit on it. About 4am I woke up because I thought something crawled on me. After checking i didn't see anything and didn't want to wake my son in the other bed. About 430am he wokevup saying he felt something crawling on him. At that point I said get up lets go! I Checked out and drove back home 4 hrs away.

    In town for a college visit/tour with my son and since it was Homecoming weekend, the hotel rates were exorbitant. Budget Inn was extremely affordable, however the room smelled VERY dank and musty. Even on a limited budget I would not recommend anyone staying here.

    The property was somewhat dirty. There were roaches. The service was terrible. There was rarely anyone in the office to attend to guests' needs. The cleaning service did not provide service and clean my room during the course of my 3 night visit. They also charged me twice for the total cost of my stay when they charged my card the first night and I had to talk with them multiple times before they looked into it. I would not advise anyone to stay here.

    I reserved online for $60.00. five minutes later I went back in to check my reservation and the price dropped to $55.00. when I arrived, I asked for the lower rate and he refused. I showed him my cell phone with the lower price and he still refused, do I paid the higher price. Then he gave me the Wi-Fi password which didn't work. But he was unable to explain to me the error so I went without it.

    I didn´t even stay. The room was dirty, the sheets were dirty too. The door of the room barely closes. There were roaches. I payed with a credit card without looking at the room first. When I asked for a refund, the man at the desk didn´t knew how to make it or at least that´s what he told me. I will file a dispute with my credit card company to get my money back. Seriously, don´t go there!

    Good hotel room---very basic. I was there for three nights and always left at 8am and was back by 9-10pm, so for my purposes it was fine: a crash pad. My only caveat is that while I stayed at a time when there was practically no one there, the hotel put one of the few other clients with a kid above me. As you can see from the photo there is ample space to separate guests which I think is important as hotels are not known for being soundproof. Otherwise, I have no complaints, the hotel room served my purpose and its location made it convenient for my friend to pick me up to go to FSU.

    THERE WERE LIVE ROACHES IN THE ROOM AND BATHROOM. The sheets smelled like they had not been changed recently. I was in there 5min and had to leave because it was more than I was willing to live with. Front clerk said I would need to call following morning about a refund because he had no way to deal with it. I like paper/digital trail as opposed to a phone call so I left a chat request via Expedia but have not received a reply. Submitting this review in hopes that no one else needs to go through this and waste your money, and hopefully, be refunded my 2 advanced paid nights in this dump.

    The location of the hotel is prefect. Within walking distance to the campus and the stadium. Hotel was about as expected. The hotel was outdated, but clean. The door to our room looked like it had been beaten in a few times. The towels in the room were rough and not of the best quality. Surprising the TV and the cable channel selection was top notch. The surrounding areas around the hotel are pretty loud and the last night there, the police were called and someone was tazered outside of our room.

    This is probably one of the worst places to stay in Tallahassee! There was literally no other place to stay on the night I booked this motel. I should have saved my money because the room was absolutely horrifying!! I took a nap in my car and got back on the road. I wouldn't send a homeless person to sleep at this place!

    At sixty years old and as a person that has traveled all over the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, this was the worst hotel I have ever been in. The first room was a smoking room that had an odor so strong that it was hard to breathe. They did move us to another room that was better. The "good" room was sort of clean but it felt dirty. Given the hurricane relief effort going on in the area, the next available room was over 100 miles away. My wife and I were each driving a car across the country and could got make another 100 miles, so we stayed. I didn't sleep well due to the constant noise in the parking lot.

    Hotel room smelled of cigarettes. Bathroom was not very clean. Wife and I woke up both mornings very congested, which cleared up about 2 hrs after leaving the hotel room each day. Cheaper option to be close to the stadium, but still feels a bit pricey for the accommodations.
