Great for the price

Good Value

Check in was easy. Room is clean. Flatscreen TVs with HD service. 1 bed room with a couch. Has a refrigerator and microwave. Non-smoking room smelled nice. Room made up each day. Not sure what breakfast was because I have to hit the road early. Located in a really rough part of town, but its tucked away. Fencing and large bushes keep nearly all the parking lot out of sight from passing traffic and riff raff. Ok for single guys and maybe couples. Because of location in this part of town, I do not recommend for women travelling alone or families with children.

nice quiet motel off the beaten path

i stay here from time to time. kind of a rough part of town and a bit out of the way for me but its my \"go to\" when closer places cost more or if they're full. the parking lot is tucked back off the main road, so never had any problems with people messing with my car. motel is quiet at night. everyone is able to park right in front of your room, so no long walks or stairs to climb. free internet works well. they have flat screen tvs now. non-smoking rooms are always clean and comfortable. rooms are made daily. front desk people are competent. always have to leave before breakfast, so I don't know what they have other than coffee. never see any bugs. I never have any issues here, and thats the best!

Very average hotel

There is nothing special about this hotel. But that being said it is not that bad. It had a nice 40 inch tv, king size bed and sofa bed in our room. You could tell the hotel room was old but it was pretty well maintained.

Be advised that it isn't in that great of a part of town. When I told my family about the area I stayed at they were pretty surprised.

Discussed is the only way to describe

It was absolutely horrendous. There was literally feces on the wall in the bathroom and the rooms stank. Would not move us to a different room and would not refund our money. Had to beg to cancel our following days so we could stay at a different hotel.

Fit the bill!

I went to a ball game, but due to area flooding, was unable to get home. I needed an inexpensive yet clean and safe place to stay overnight. This fit the bill.
The neighborhood may not be the best, but the front desk staff is pleasant, the property and room clean and quiet, and I was able to get some sleep after a stressful evening.

An outstanding value

As many other reviewers have noted, this motel is an outstanding value for the money. True, the facility is a little dated, but the room was in 100% working order and was spotlessly clean. I have stayed in many other \"better\" motels (bigger name and higher prices) that had moldy bathrooms, broken A/C, broken towel bars and shower rods (that previous guests had used as grab handles and had gone unrepaired). NONE of that was present in my room at Budget Host, Hempstead Inn. Add in the lower prices, and it is an outstanding value. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great Value

Hotel is tucked away from what is a pretty rough part of town. So I still feel safe and that my vehicle won't be messed with. Best water pressure and hot shower for a motel ever. Internet is average speed and stays connected - no lag when watching non HD videos. Room was made up daily and is clean upon arrival. Non-smoking rooms smell nice. Furnishings starting to show a bit of wear. TVs are old even for boxes and barely work correctly - need to be upgraded to flatscreens ASAP. Staff were considerate & helpful. I had to leave before breakfast, so I don't know what they had out, but probably typical coffee/waffles.

Good Hotel With Great Value

I wish one of the criteria used to judge the Budget Host Hempstead Inn was value; in that category, they'd receive a \"5.\" The fact of the matter is that this motel is in a bit of an out-of-the-way location (about a 10 mile, 20 minute drive from most of Houston's attractions) -- but it's a NICE location (i.e., totally safe). Furthermore, it's a convenient location in certain respects; there's a Burger King next door and a little convenience store within easy walking distance. The place is run in a sensible, considerate manner. They have (but don't advertise) a typical, modest, \"continental breakfast\" for their guests (orange juice, milk, coffee, cold cereal, and packaged pastries) available for free in the lobby each morning -- and they end its availability at a ridiculously early hour (as certain other motel chains do). The beds are extremely comfortable, the rooms are well maintained, there are TV's, microwaves, refrigerators, blow dryers, iron & ironing boards, complimentary soap (bath and facial), shampoo, and even body lotion. If you're still in your room around the sensible 11 am checkout time on an extended stay, the front desk may call you to ask if you need room service; you don't have to worry about a maid using her key to barge in at an inopportune moment.

Good for sleep. My 3's should really be 2.5's.

Was good for sleep. TV remote has to scroll one channel up or down at a time, picture not good . Bedside lamp not working, even when bulbs were switched. Breakfast very minimal. If you just want to sleep, it's ok for the price, just don't expect more. Management said they are new and need to do the repairs, maybe the same story to other guests,

Toot Toot!

We reserved a Double Queen room for six nights, but the room was unavaillable when we got there, and we had to use a pullout bed (in poor condition)with one queen the first night. Other than that the acommodation was comfortable. This motel is cheap because it's WAAY out of town, and a train goes by across the road several times at night.

Smelly, bad service, bait and switch

Ordered a non-smoking room. Arrive to learn that they have no more non-smoking rooms. The proprietor says pretty much \"too bad.\" Only after I argue and argue does he finally give me a non-smoking room - and tries to upcharge me $10. Room smells of mold, no hot water.

This is perhaps one of the best you can get for the money charged and if you are on a budget. Modest, but very decent. No-nonsense service. Room is clean. Equipment (TV, etc.) not the state-of-the-art, but everything works. Wi-Fi works. Hey, you even get a nice little breakfast!

rest stop in NM

Nice & professional staff. Wifi worked, frig, no microwave in room. The worst part was the shower knob was broken & would not turn on. The attendant was surprised & seemed genuinely concerned by telling me I can take a shower in another room. I understand a rare inconvenience happens and the desk attendant found a solution quickly. Great staff but hotel needs to be updated bu then again the price may reflect any upgrades. Would I stay again? Yes

Located in an Industrial park, but secluded enough on the property that it doesn't matter. Large room, friendly staff.
