Budget Inn

This place is very old, old carpet, furniture and bed. The bathroom is very bad as far as I can see it was clean but had no blue light Hint, Hint .They actually have allot of rules for this place and you pay enough money really to stay somewhere else it feels like I’m signing up for a half way house or something and I never been to one. You get charged for everything I mean everything, I have been traveling the world and been to 3^rd world countries and some of the places are better than this. The 2 people I encountered at the front Desk were very nice but to sum the whole thing up you need to see for yourself. I have been to some top places and no nonsense and they never infringed rules and things like this, I will never, never come here again.

You get what you pay for, but it was one of the cheapest in San Diego, so I couldn’t complain. As far as the room, it wasn’t the greatest, but like I said it was one of the cheapest in San Diego and was at least acceptable.

This was easily the worst stay I’ve ever had at a hotel. Now, sometimes when I’ve traveled for business — they pay for nice hotels. Other times, I try to save money. In New York, I got a place relatively cheap, that was tiny. Yet, it was a thousand times better than this experience.
The sign said «rooms from $ 29.99.» I was by myself, yet the room was $ 47. They originally told me they only had smoking rooms, so I told them I’d try one of the other places nearby (there are a few different hotels around that area). They then said «Wait…let me check again… oh yes, we have one left.»
The room was the smallest I’ve ever been in, but no biggie. I was going to sleep, and go to a meeting the next day, right down the street. I saw the checkout was 11 a.m., and asked if I could check out at 11:20, as my meeting was at noon. They said only if I paid $ 10 extra.
I noticed the fire alarm was taken apart and on the shelf. No biggie. I noticed the one chair in the room was ripped up and uncomfortable to sit in. I had to pay $ 1 for a remote control to use the TV, the carpets were stained, but the worst was in the morning — I COULD NOT TAKE A SHOWER. It didn’t work. I spent 15 minutes trying to get it to work.
Instead, I washed myself in the sink (try putting your feet into a sink, among other body parts).
I went downstairs and told the woman (in a calm voice), and said «I won’t ask for a refund, but it would be nice if you gave me a free stay here next time.» She said absolutely not. She then wanted to see the shower… and she brought her maintance man. He spent a few minutes trying to get it to work, and got water. She looked at me with this smug look on her face (a face that looked like a 58 year old woman that hasn’t stopped smoking and drinking in 48 years). The guy said «The cartridge is broke, so you really have to mess around with it to get it to work.»
The woman told me I should’ve called them. I said I wasn’t dressed, and she said I should’ve gotten dressed. THen the manager told me he would give me $ 10 off my next room. I said «$ 10 off $ 47, or a $ 29 room?» He said they don’t have many of the cheap rooms, and I said «Just give me the ten dollars now,» and he said «No, I don’t think so. I don’t like your tone or attitude.» That was odd, considering the fact that I wasn’t yelling, even though I stayed in a crap room that didn’t allow me to shower for a meeting I had!!!
I’m not sure what kind of «attitude» I should have, when I’m bothered by the service, but it’s safe to say — I won’t be staying there again, and think you should avoid the place as well. Too many other hotels/​motels in that area to go to this shady place (with weirdos lurking around the parking lots, too)
