Room was clean but the beds were so hard we had to leave the second night and stay at a different hotel. They only gave us two towels and two face cloths for 3 people for the whole weekend went to the front desk to get more but they didn’t have any available. The ones who got to shower had cold showers or very lukewarm ones.

The room was very clean. One bed had afirm3 matress and the second bed had a softer one. Would have been nice to have a garbage can in our room, plus a hand towel near the sink. Other than that, it was perfect. The breakfast was great too. Lots of variety too. We will reccomend you to others and we will be back again.

The room was large and really clean and the staff were lovely. This is not a high-end place, but for the price it was excellent! I’ve spent more money on places that were disappointing compared to this motel. It’s not The Ritz, but we knew that going in and we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was included, nothing fancy, but it was adequate. The usual continental stuff, but also scrambled eggs, bacon, and I think there was a setup for waffles or pancakes but we didn’t use it.

Huge room!! Wifi was meh. Never had enough towels but they happily got us more when we asked. No 24/7 lobby service-hotel re-entry after a certain time at night. Fridge in room was large and had a freezer. Fire Place was nice. Friendly staff. Great value for our needs would stay again. Thanks.

My trip to the Western Budget Motel was a decent one. The staff were lovely, friendly, helpful, and happy to assist me. The room itself was clean, and I loved having the full kitchenette in the room, especially nice to have when you have allergies and need to bring your food to eat. The shower was undesirable to say the least, not only was there little to no pressure, but the hot water was at best lukewarm. Hotels/Motels typically don't have the best shower pressure, but this was less than what most others have. The mattress for me was not the greatest, as it was a foam mattress. So for some, this may be a marvelous mattress, and for others, like myself, it left me with quite a bit of pain. There was the concern of a plastic covering over the smoke detector, which I didn't notice until the morning. I did let the staff know upon checkout. The continental breakfast was fairly decent, with a fair bit to choose from. Although for someone with allergies, I was very limited, but that was to be expected, which is why I brought my food. Overall, the stay was decent, and I was delightfully happy to have a clean, safe, and peaceful space to stay while at a weekend event. Thank you, Western Budget Motel

Breakfast is hit and miss. We stay here frequently. It's always clean, the staff is friendly, it's quiet. There's nothing ever to complain about besides the lack of breakfast some mornings. We typically always grab breakfast at the same time anytime we've stayed here but it varies from how much is left and they typically don't do a restock so just be prepared you may have to source breakfast elsewhere if you do stay here and you go to breakfast later in the morning
