Budget Inn

Friendly service, and the rooms were clean. The property was quiet, well kept, and in a great location.

We were out of there before we'd even been there three hours. A huge light-brown cockroach ran across the floor while I was in the tub. My husband caught it, and I got dressed, grabbed my bag, and left. The jacuzzi tub was missing knobs and looked dated, though it worked; the water was hot enough and the bed was clean. We had arrived around 10:57pm, and the woman who helped us get settled had been friendly. At the desk, my husband rang the buzzer three times before a man came out. I explained politely that another kind of bug might not have sent me packing, but I wasn't staying with a roach in the room. We showed him the roach and asked for a refund. He smiled, said he understood, then told us they don't give refunds and offered no fix or other solution. We paid $198 for an old tub and roaches. My husband handed over the roach because I planned to dispute the charge with my bank.

The price was good, but the free breakfast amounted to a bowl of cereal. After three nights, I asked to keep the room for one more day. The woman at the desk said they were fully booked, but when I checked Booking.com, eight rooms were listed as available, including three like mine. I left because I felt she'd lied, and it was rude after I'd paid $230 for three nights.
