We stayed for one night for the Bristol race. It was an ideal location and we liked it. We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the property and room. However, the bathroom light was very dim with bugs in it, exhaust fan didn’t work and shower curtain had growth on it. The bed could be softer, and creaked all night with movement.

This is a completely outdated run-down facility. I would strongly advise finding an alternate choice.
Additionally, when I arrived at hotel with confirmed reservation, I was informed that there were no rooms available. Only after the manager realized I paid a ridiculously high price for room (hotel price gouged because of hurricane damage in area) did they free up a room from a reservation in which a lower price was paid.
Also got stuck in a smoking room. Worst hotel experience ever.

The room we stayed in was disgusting. We took a shower and the shower stock up so water always came up in the tub because it was clogged. There is black and white mold everywhere. The whole room smells so bad we didn’t even stay the night we checked out the same night we checked in and went home because it was that bad.

No Air Conditioner- No Refinds

I booked for 2 nights. Checked in and A/C didn’t work. They put me in a second room. Air conditioner did not work. Manager said it’s because it’s hot outside. I checked out in less than an hour. Not only did they refuse to refund me for less than an hour. They refused to refund me the second night as well. How do you charge someone two nights for less than 1 hour? I will be seeking legal action.

Stinky and Hot

10 out of 10 do not recommend. Our room smelled like stale cigarettes, the air conditioner did not work (and it was 90 degrees), the mattress and sheets were blood stained and had cigarette burns on it, there were crushed up fruity pebbles under the mattress, the air conditioner and vent in the bathroom was rusted, and getting towels/wash clothes was like pulling teeth. Our friends had other rooms and they were better than ours, but still had problems with the air conditioners. Thankfully our friends had a room with double beds and we slept in there. Miserable stay.

Was greeted and checked in quickly and very friendly. Rooms were a bit smaller than I expected, but adequate. Bathroom was very small and tub drain did not work properly. It was stuck in a 3/4 closed position that would not let you take a bath, but would fill up if you tried to take anything other than a quick shower. I didn't discover this till later and the hotel was pretty well booked I think so made due. Will inform them when I check out.

Don’t book here with Hotels.com!

Arrived at the hotel, admittedly late after playing a bar gig, and they would not answer the office door nor the phone for several minutes. Finally someone answered the phone and told me they did not honor any online bookings. So I had to travel another several interstate exits to find an open hotel. Not a great experience at all.

Unhappy camper

I had a mixup with booking my stay and in error made two reservations for the same day instead of two sequential days. Therefore, when I arrived late (my bus was delayed by 24 hours), I was told the booking was for the previous day and the reservation could not be moved to the next day as the reservation had expired. The manager, Mike asked me to call Hotels.com to resolve the issue. I spoke with an agent with Hotels. com who authorized the change of reservation, but the hotel manager refused to change it. He would not let me in the lobby and told me the only way I could stay was if I paid $85. I arrived at this hotel at 3am and stood outside for an hour pleading with the manager to find a way to help, and he refused. I was left walking to find lodging as my reservation was not honored. I paid for two nights at this hotel and wasn’t allowed to stay even one. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I want my money back

Room was dirty, sheets had stains on them, pillow cases were not clean. All around a dirty place. Walls had gouges from I'm assuming furniture moving around. Bathroom looked like it had mold on the walls in the shower and the ceiling looked to have gotten wet and the drywall was falling in the corner. Bathroom door would not close, you had to use your knee to hold the door closed while sitting on the toilet and shove a towel on the floor while taking a shower. Front door you really had to shove to get to latch correctly.
After booking on Expedia and paying up front the owner of the hotel charged me an extra $15 a person when we arrived stating Expedia does not charge per person but he does. After spending over $300 on a room I was charged another $45 upon arrival. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Upon arrival, door to office is locked. Had to call from phone on building for service. A child was working the desk, who then took our card through a slot in the window, again not being allowed in the office. Get to room and immediately discover a hole in the shower curtain, which was replaced, but manager claims that they didn’t notice it. Then realize that the door does not latch on its own, you have to lift the door in order for it to lock. Bed was dirty and blankets and sheets had holes. Graffiti and holes on the walls. Did encounter a roach at a point, which means there are more. Ice machine did not work.

Never checked in.

Never returned call, we booked elsewhere and stayed another venue which was a further distance from where we wanted to be in first place. We drive almost 700 miles and almost at other hotel and we finally get a call back asking when we were checking in. Obviously we didnt check in and not happy with the circumstances. Something that needs attention and to be remedied. Casting doubt on whether we will continue to use these booking services.

The Good: The rooms were very nice and clean. The staff was friendly

The Bad: I'm not sure who's to blame, Expedia or Budget Host Inn. The room was advertised for $70 through Expedia. Taxes made it $80. Okay, so no big deal. An extra $10 dollars never broke anybody. According to Expedia, no rooms were available for smokers, so I chose a nonsmoking room. No big deal. I can go outside to smoke. I get down there and the young lady asked me if I wanted smoking or nonsmoking. I said well, smoking if you have one available. She looked, came back a couple of seconds later and said they had one available for $139. I said no thanks, I will keep the one I booked through Expedia. She went to the back and was gone for 7-8 minutes and a guy came in who also worked there. Asked me if I needed any help and I told him that the young lady already took care of me. He proceeds to take over. I ended up paying $100 dollars for the room, $30 dollars more than advertised
