Budget Host Inn

Check in did not go smoothly. Clerk was questioning reservation. No hairdryer in room. Very noisy.

Very outdated, no outlets for electronics, no fan or window for shower ventilation. The traffic outside was extremely loud with big semi’s going constantly up and down the highway making terrific noise constantly. It sounded like war planes going by. Because there were no outlets for electronics. We had to use the regular plugs in the bathroom, but the outlets don’t work when the lights go off. The hairdryer wasn’t in the room, and the manager wanted me to come to the office to pick it up even though I had just come out of the shower and my hair was wet. He was unhappy to have to bring it to the room.

I could easily walk to local restaurants and gas stations. However, I could not drive in the driveway because of snow conditions. But the room was very clean, and the owner was very kind.

I checked out and made a new booking for today. Which was supposed to be $20 cheaper than my stay yesterday. But the owner or manager or whatever he is still charged me twenty bucks more, even though I made a new booking at a cheaper rate.

Room was right by the highway, ice machine is broke, door was difficult to unlock and the deadbolt doesn’t work. Very outdated and musty smelling. Felt very uncomfortable here

When we checked in, the clerk was insistent that we were charged the wrong price. I didn’t argue because it was only $5 but he was a bit rude. He was nice because I picked a smoking room by accident when booking and was able to give me a non-smoking. You get what you pay for and this was a quick 1-nighter. Pillows are horrible so don’t expect a great night sleep.
