They are pretty cool people and keep their property clean for the most part. However they have this strict policy about not having any visitors at all at that in my opinion is a violation of any individual’s freedom. Some of us are coming from distant locations and visiting family members in town who hasn’t seen them in years. I find it a bit too much like some sort of state corrections facility or something for you to be denied having any family members to come and see u at the place that you are staying in while you’re in their home town.

The room was clean and quiet.
I was very pleased with my stay at Budget Inn Jefferson City, MO. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. I would stay at this hotel again. The people that are running the place are friendly, and efficient. I had to get back to my home or I would have stayed another day.

Clean and comfy
Front desk clerk was a very nice young man. The hotel room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was hot. The only complaint I have is, I didn't have a blanket. This was a last minute stay, because the Travelodge Hotel’s room was dirty.

Very basic set up, nothing special. The setup for the tv was hard to get going and remote didn't work. The satellite range couldn't pick up due to the weather.

I guess we expected coffee and an ironing board and iron, even though it was not listed as an amenity. I was glad to see there was a refrigerator with a freezer.

It was the only place available in town in the Expedia app on short notice with a queen bed. But when we got to the room it was a full size not a queen. The name says Budget so it is not a Hilton Garden Inn by any means.

This was the worst motel I have stayed at. After killing two bed bugs around 2:00 AM, I went out to the car and slept in it. Under no condition stay at this place.

This was dump! Don't stay here ever! Went to brush my teeth and the water backed up in the sink and 3/8" hair started to float out! 😝
Also, the flooring was curled up so my shoes kept catching on it.
I would have went somewhere else but it was so late when i got there and I was so tired I didnt care. But seriously stay away from this place.

I was disappointed that the registration desk did not have a copy of my reservation and if they had not had a room I would have been out of luck.

I liked that it was one level, no stairs to climb. Rent room for older gentleman for one night. The room was very small and dirty, was given 2 very small towels and one wash rag, TV didn't have a remote to turn TV on, had to turned it on manually, which he didn't know how to do. Had a dish remote which didn't work. The TV screen had white lines going through it the whole time watching it. Toilet overflowed on him; he only urinated in it. Won't stay there ever again.

Arrived at the hotel on Friday afternoon at 1 pm to check in and they informed me that they had no room available for me despite me having made reservations 2 weeks prior.This is absolutely unacceptable.At no point was I contacted by the hotel or hotels.com.Absolutely horrible.

There were large amounts of yelling and screaming around the property. There were small bugs on the bathroom floor. The safety lock on the entry door had been ripped from the wall. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Had there been any other option in town we would have left.
