Budget Inn North Stonington

Not worth it. Waste of our money. The room was gross and dirty.

Absolutely the worst I’ve ever seen...refused to stay in this dump!

Very old, but room was clean. Not even a cup in the room. Could have used an ice machine.

Dirty, Toilet was broken, shower didn’t work. I had to pay as soon as I got there and when I checked out no one was there to talk to. Smelled like mold trash everywhere. I know that I didn’t get a 5 star hotel but this place was so bad that it should be shut down. We didn’t have WiFi like they said they did. I wish I took video and pictures.

It was okay. Exactly as we pictured it to be - older property, the non-smoking room was definitely a smoking room that someone attempted to spray febreeze in to hide that cigarette smell. It was functional and fine for one night, but that's about it. Only the door handle locked, not the deadbolt, and the chain looked old. Very convenient to the highway, but the AC was loud enough to drown out the noise, despite not being great at cooling on max cold.

It was horrible bed wad on the floor dirty smelled you need to take it off your site

The long and short of it, is as follows…the place is bargain basement - at best: There was no attendant when we arrived at 8:30pm to check in. I Didn’t think much of it then, but when we checked out there was no one to be found yet again. In fact, we had to figure out that we were supposed to drop the key in an unsecured mailbox, such that anyone could simply grab the key and gain access to the room. Upon checking in, we felt compelled to check the corners of the mattress for bedbugs, luckily there were none. But the fact that we felt it necessary to check in the first place says it all. The last guest apparently left her night thing/neglige on the back of the bathroom door and the “cleaner” failed to notice it. If this place was like $60/night I might be a bit more understanding…and I also would have passed. But since it was more expensive than a Motel 6 I expected, at very least, the same level of experience. Listen, I’m not someone who has to stay at a Hilton or The Waldorf Towers, but if you’re going to charge competitive rates YOU HAVE TO BE COMPETATIVE! This is the type of place you could expect an hourly rate…perhaps there is. I just wish I had a review to consider before booking. As a business owner myself it hurts to leave this review, but honestly guys…..either lower the rates until you improve or charge what the place is worth. Good luck.

Drain in bathroom sink not working properly

Only convenient for traveling Many items ,when checking in the office smelled and should have known them, the room stunk like smoke, went and bought a can of air freshner and almost used the whole thing in 2 days, the pillows were awful, the bathroom ceiling looked like it had a leak and cracked, the shower head you get 1/2 the water the rest goes on your feet, the sink the water splashes all over the place, only 1 outlet that you can use if you crawl on the floor and go under the table, no fresh towels the next day or maid service, cigarette butts all over the place and people smoking when it is listed as non smoking place, out our back window by the air conditioner it looked like laundry and rug right by it. There are many that live there and items all over the parking lot and early this morning was a fight next to us and were to leave and they were still there when we left after trying to get back to sleep. No clock in the room , only the over head light, and the tv was so low my husband could not even hear it even with his hearing aids. Most disgusting place we have ever stayed and should be ashamed for charging us for staying there with all the falsified information on this site. We will never use this chain again, I would rather sleep in a tent or our vehicle. This business for this company should be ashamed of themselves

The Budget Inn is a 'no go' stay. They do have appropriate measures for check-in/out for Covid. The hotel/motel however is beyond outdated. Massive furniture that is nonfunctional fills what could be open space making the room nicer. The furniture is not appealing, at all. The bed was clean and comfortable but short on pillows. 4 standard pillows instead of 2 oversized would be much more functional/comfortable. The room was stocked with a very small, single, roll of toilet paper, with no back-up. I assume the facility uses well water as the shower and toilet have heavy mineral stains that make them look dirty (but are clean). This makes it look disgusting. It is a convenient location in an out of the way location... there is a small truck stop/store with restaurants inside next door. We arrived late in tge eve and had no issues checking in by ringing the doorbell. Checkout is by just dropping the key in an exterior box as the stay was prepaid. This location is in need, very strongly, of a major remodel.
