I like this hotel. The people who run it are nice but also seem security conscious. The AC is freezing, there's good TV, its quiet and the sheets and bed were clean. It's in a really convenient spot, you can walk to restauraunts. The carpet needs to be replaced and the shower is old, but it wasn't dirty. I enjoy staying here.
Very nice! The folks that own this motel extremely wonderful. Very quiet and secure. Plus big truck parking. Would love to visit again. Very pleasant and comfortable. Thank you for accommodating me and our semi truck.
We stay here every trip during dove and deer season! The owners are great! Rooms are always clean! Best bang for your buck!
The Budget Inn punches above its weight. We knew it wouldn't be fancy - but at least the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We needed a place to sleep for the night. It did the job well - and it was easy to walk around town from there.
Very comfy CLEAN rooms. The building is old but well kept. The carpet is clean and I could tell it is shampoo cleaned regularly. Rooms smell fresh and CLEAN (no cigarette smell lingering) .yes I said rooms because I had to rent 3 for the size of family I have and we were caught in the snow storm with no motels in San Angelo. The people were very friendly and welcoming big smiles and attentive. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Close to grocery store and food. They provide towels and toilet paper. If u want shampoo bring ur own. Overall my family and I were satisfied with our stay. Thank you for making our stay comfortable. It is greatly appreciated. The Freeman Family.
Stayed here a few weeks & it was wonderful! The staff was very friendly & even did my laundry for $7! Rooms are small & so are the bathrooms bu overall it’s kept nice & clean. No complaints!
The people here are very awesome.. They take care of what ever you need.. And go out of their way for you.. I really appreciate them for all they did for me The rooms are simple but nice very comfortable My husband was here for work So I would definitely recommend this place!
I've been here for almost a month and honestly it's a good place. It's VERY basic. I don't recommend for extended stay, we have made due. San Angelo has decent options too, my choice is based on the drive to work everyday. Rooms are definitely antiquated. Big bed, great water pressure and really hot water at the end of a day, can't put a price on that. And the people here will bend over backwards to help you or get whatever it is you need. Sometimes personality supercedes my own wants and this is a definite deal if you're looking for one.
