Amy
When I booked this online, I was supposed to get a king. I ended up with two queens. There were permanent stains on the bed cover as well as the bathroom towels. It was definitely not what the picture indicated.
Vanessa
Room was updated. Very nice. Quiet. Nice staff.
gary
Clean room, good size. Bathroom shower could have been cleaner. Polite managers. Not bad for price.
Stephanie
I stayed one night. Room was very clean with basic appointments. Sheets and towels were nicer than some fancier hotels I’ve stayed in.
Raymond
GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, GREAT CLEAN ROOM
Stephen
It was a shockingly nice place to stay. The room was recently updated and modernized, and was absolutely beautiful. The bathroom had also been updated, and was very classy. The whole room/bathroom looked more like a Holiday Inn Express than a Budget Inn.
I was very pleasantly surprised. It was well worth the money, and I would gladly stay there again.

A place to sleep. Rooms looked just like the pictures, very nice and clean. The could use more furnature, like seating for 2. Motel has no amenities outside of the ones in the room and no elevator.

Christopher
Very clean and quiet.
Candyce
Comfortable room, clean,very comfortable king bed, soft bath towels that smelled nice and not like bleach as so many hotel towels do. Dorm size refrigerator and microwave, coffee maker. Not a fancy room, but nicely furnished and decorated. I would definitely stay again.
Tommy
Comfortable stay.
Brenda
The staff was kind. The room was spacious, the bathroom on the other hand was rather tight. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. Will definitely say again on my next trip.
John
The room was very nice and clean; newly renovated I would guess. Location was perfect for our visit. Parking lot was nice and safe. Just one bit of advice: pick up the litter by the back staircase and around the outside. Other than that this motel is very nice.
Michael
Great
Dawn
It lived up to the reviews and was very clean. Room size was generous as well.

William
It was great
Roxie
It was updated and nice
Chad
Ice machine did not work. Room really could use a chair other than the desk chair. The stair at the end put you in a dirt, rock and sand area. A walkway would be nice. The room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was good. I would recommend it
jennifer
It was clean. Rooms were decent
Patricia
The staff was respectful and responsive to our requests.
The shower stall was too small and the shower head was not movable, so we needed to turn off the water to soap up and then turn back on the shower to rinse. The ice machine was not working. The remote for the TV needed new batteries that were replaced promptly. The pipe under the bathroom sink leaked so there was a waste basket under it to catch most of the water.

Easy process
Michelle
Dirty room and rude owner. WE CLEANED for 2 hours.
I am disabled and asked for a 1st floor room. Owner snapped no availability, but the parking lot was empty. Asked if he needed both vehicles info. Snaps, I'm not responsible for 2nd vehicle. Caught me off guard, normally no hotel is, but, I was concerned about him towing it. We walked in and it initially looked clean because it is tile floors and what looks like newer furniture. Unfortunately, it was not clean at all. I should have taken pics, but we were more concerned about cleaning. We left, went to Walmart to get cleaning supplies and spent almost 2 HOURS CLEANING. The bathroom was disgusting. I sprayed the walls with bathroom spray and the brown dirt just melted into the drain. Should have bought towels as some of them were so nasty. I seriously don't believe the room has been cleaned in years. The dirt was so bad. It even looked like there was blood on the bathroom wall. We went through more than an entire roll of paper towels. We didn't want to approach the owner as he was extremely rude from the start. Around 8pm that night, we were in bed relaxing before falling asleep and there's a loud knock at the door that scared us. It was the owner screaming at my husband that I needed to move my vehicle from the disabled parking. He said, she IS disabled, but he refused to listen and my husband grabbed my keys. I then walked out in my pj's argued with him, pointing out my handicap placard and my huge scars. He finally told us to leave it. Paid for 3 nights, left after 2.
Howard
All good

Overall, very happy.
Overall, I was very happy with my stay. Things were clean and functional. The only drawback for me, personally, was the fact that the big fluffy lovely towels were heavily scented from scented laundry products. Not a good thing for those with chemical sensitivities. I couldn't use them.
Linda
It was very clean and quiet and convenient to where we were going.
Dana
Overall a great experience, friendly and accommodating staff, room was clean and cleaned each day of my 3 day stay
Shauna
Well cared for and maintained property. The area around the hotel is residential but it was very quiet.
Jessica
Just disappointed in location we were at. Everything else was top notch wonderful.
Paul W
Never stay here
When you can’t stay because of the hotel is not as expected. The reviews are manufactured and still have to pay, your system does not work for us.
Debbie
Not a 8 score hotel as indicated on Hotel.com
The sheets smelled clean, but were very dingy looking (brown/yellow in color, supposed to be white).
Dan
I am a senior citizen, almost 74 years old. I made a reservation several weeks before my stay. When I arrived I asked to be put on the 1st floor and told the desk that I am an old man and didn’t want to hurt myself lugging everything upstairs. There is no elevator. I even took off my Vietnam Veterans hat so he could see my gray hair. He vehemently refused. My vehicle was the only one at that end of the building, which had 5 rooms on each floor.
I consider that very bad service and will never stay there again

Booked a one night stay. Budget Inn Lake Wales is located in a quiet area. Gentleman at the front desk was very polite and helpful. This is an older, smaller (20 room?) hotel. Room 105 had been repainted/remodeled. The outlets next to the beds had USB outlets, which I find incredibly convenient. This Budget Inn was much better than expected. There are may restaurants within a mile as well. I would stay here again.
Nora
I liked how clean the hotel was and the price was excellent.
Perfect place for a night stay with our all the frills.

Lynn
It is an old hotel, but fairly newly remodeled on the inside--ceramic tile floors & shower, quartz counters. It was clean and a good value for the money. There is no lobby, just a check-in desk, not too much in the area. It met our needs as we were visiting friends and only needed a clean place to sleep at a reasonable price.
Ann E
Recommend
Nice staff/owner. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice shower and was a big room. No issues at all.
alberic R
These people cancel my reservation, got rid of my room. Didn't have any hot water at all. The people next to me kept going in and out of their room Slamming their car door slamming the hotel doors in clicking lock doors all night on their car.

Office should speak better English

DO NOT BOOK HERE!
Do not book your stay here!!! The manager was so rude from the second we checked in. He stated AFTER swiping my credit card that there was no hot water. He made it clear the water would be cold. So I assumed I would take a cold shower. Woke up and there was zero water at all. Not able to even wash your hands. I went to the front office at 10:00 am the next day and it was locked with no one in there. I have spoke with the manager on the phone to get a refund and he refuses and hangs up on your on the phone. The bed sheets were not cleaned and the mini fridge did not work either. Floors were gross and this is in a very sketchy area. Do not take the chance. I have spoke with the manager on the phone multiple times now and he has not been helpful
Richard
Not great but worth the money. Friendly people. A good cheap motel.
Penny
It was a very comfortable stay.
LINDA
Fairly recently renovated facility
The room was large and renovated with modern amenities. It was pretty clean and very sufficient for a one night stay.
Cons:
Had to ring a bell to get door unlocked to get into office to check in. Ice machine broken.

Good, I always stay there.
penny
This is average. They've upgraded some of it and it's better than it obviously used to be. But for the price it's a good choice to use as a stop over for a night while traveling thru. Good enough for one or two nights
ALISON
Room was renovated, clean and quiet. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly
Todd
I was highly disappointed. I didn’t expect much, but got even less. The room was not clean, the ice maker was broken, the tv didn’t work, only given one coffee pack for two days, no housekeeping done. Need I say more? I will not be returning to this establishment.
dawn
Convenient to Downtown and the lake.
It was very convenient to the event we were attending. We were able to park right outside our door.
Carol
Very Pleased
The Inn met all expectations. It was very clean and included all necessary amenities for the short stay. Very pleased.
Julie
The walkways could use a good pressure cleaning. But the room was clean, modern and comfortable.
Milton
Last minute one night stay!
My stay was pleasant. The management was very professional and was nice enough to give me the room number I requested, which was right in front of where I parked my car. Room was very clean. In fact, when I opened the room door, I smelled a strong odor of flowers! And this was 1130 pm. Needless to say, I was quite impressed. I proceeded to jump in the hot shower and off to sleep.
David
No frills
Can't say a bad thing. No frills room but clean as a whistle.
carlos
Everything was a great value for the price
Melanie
Room itself was clean but was a bucket under the AC for water to drip into and didn't sleep well as it dripped all night.
Gabrielle
The room was fantastic. Great room for a great price. The neighborhood was quiet, no complaints!
