Budget Motel

I had a very bad experience from this hotel. I got a non smoking room which seems not cleaned. The bedsheets were having blood stains. I complained to the front desk but the front desk guy was so rude and was blaming me saying that I was telling lie even though I showed them the bed sheet with blood stains. So stay away from this hotel as it doesnt worth it even for free.

as you can imagine from the motel’s name; if it’s a luxury experience you’re looking for, you won’t find it here. But if you are looking for a good room for a budget price… this is it! First of all; it’s cute; it has a «california trailer court» vibe from the outside. Freshly painted, it is inviting, with a parking place just feet from the door so i could unload easily. The price is the lowest i could find in the area, a nearby so called «budget» chain had a room for twice the price i paid at Budget (i paid $ 110/​night), next cheapest in the neighborhood was 150 $. The have all the amenities i needed for my 3 night stay; iron and ironing board, internet that was free (and actually of decent speed).CORRECTION; INTERNET WAS FREE, BUT SLOWED DOWN TO A SNAILS PACE ONCE MORE PEOPLE CHECKED IN. Mini fridge, microwave, tv remote that actually works!, and a climate control system that i could operate easily. Easy access to sufficient extra outlets for all my electronics was more than i’m used to at much fancier places. The motel both outside and in the room seemed very clean to me, and as to whether it was noisy or not i couldn’t tell you because i slept through the night! It is my habit in motels close to the road to leave the bathrooom fan on as sort of white noise which i did here… worked great, and a good deadbolt helped me feel secure… I received quick, courteous service at all times, such that it’s hard to imagine the creepy scene Julius W. described as happening here. Maybe the motel has changed hands, or maybe they’ve just done their best to respond to earlier bad reviews? Either way, try it, you’ll like it! ps. my only wish is that they would switch to cleaning products that were odorless.

We arrived this motel around midnight because we just needed a room for 6 – 7 hrs to sleep and leave. There was nobody behind the front desk when we came in. Then, a lady showed up but I wish she stayed there and never encountered us. She was extremely rude to my girlfriend. More than that, man, you can’t bear that smell. If you are used to live around junks, it’d be ok. I tried to not react but she continued to be rude when she was trying to slide my card down. I said I changed my mind and would not stay there. She literally threw my card and gave me an insightful view to understand the universe. «Think before come,» she said. Now, I am happy after checking reviews here that I didn’t leave a penny there.

Please read these reviews. I had to make a quick reservation for my parents who wanted to stick to a budget. A quick look online and then a phone call pointed to the Budget Motel. I called to get a quote for three days. $ 139 per night. This was enough to send the phone number to mom and have her ask a few more questions. The lady said that the room available had only one full size bed. Hmmn, a little small for two people but if a two bed room would come available she would save it. My mother asked if there would be a difference in price and was told it would be the same $ 139.
Well that all changed when my folks arrived in person. The two bed room was available and before you know it the owner had charged the three nights at a rate of $ 179. After my mom looked at it she tried to explain that she had been quoted a rate of $ 139 even for the two bed room. Downhill from there.
You will see many complaints from other reviews of rudeness by the man at the front desk. This man accused us of trying to CHEAT him!!! It got pretty ugly. I went there in person to try to reason with him and no use. We ended up leaving that night and of course paying for the night. He says he refunded card and for the other two nights but time will tell.
Perhaps there was confusion over the phone, a civil conversation could have solved this. But this was a very angry man. He kept saying «I know where you come from and I am tired of your type trying to cheat us» It just didn’t make sense. He asked if I had ever stayed in a hotel before? «Don’t you know that a room with two beds costs more that a room with one bed»
Yes except when we are told by you that the price would be the same!!! And then you call us a liar and a cheat when we say this is what we were told!
UNBELIEVABLE! I hope this man can turn a his attitude around. I could hear children in the room behind the office. I assume he lives there with his family and this is how they make their living. His family should not have to suffer for the inhospitable attitude of this person. Stay at your own risk. Get your rate quote on a recording because they do not email confirmations.
BTW if you are the owner and you are reading this. Yep, I have stayed in other hotels. I practically live in them all over the country at times. I know it is difficult to own a business in this town and you must be under a lot of pressure to survive. We did find another place for them to stay and they did not end up sleeping in their car as you so kindly pointed out was the risk if we did not take your «best and lowest rate in town. Normally that may be true but this is a slow week for hotels because everyone is on vacation elsewhere. We were able to get a room that normally goes for over $ 400 a night for $ 149. It come with a hot breakfast all three nights. Oh and a king bed. Thank You for the lesson and the karma.

Dirty room. Underwear left hanging behind door. Disgusting. You’re better off sleeping in your car.

Wow, after reading all the 1 Star Unilocal reviews I decided to give this place a benefit of a doubt and boy did I make a huge mistake when I showed up. I didnt even see the room and the first thing I was greeted with is a huge dis respect. This place needs to close down period. I am the last person to give a negative review.

I have to say this is a wonderful place to stay. I have been staying here for 10 months now. I work here in the area, stay here during the week and go home. When I come back they have the same room all ready for me. The management is awesome. I do have to thank the house keeper for making my bed everyday and keeping my room so clean. Several times I have brought my daughters and grand kids to stay for the week with me and they have been so accommodating to them. Even this summer when my 1 year old grand daughter came to stay they played with her and made it feel like home. The rose garden here in the summer is beautiful. Thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family…

0 stars if possible. Avoid at all costs. The woman running the place was horribly abusive to us as we tried to check in. Nonexistent sense of business etiquette. We left and found something better within 5 minutes.

Worst motel. Manager is a jerk and extremely rude. If you’re not Indian I would highly recommend not to go there.

Bed bugs and It was overpriced for the room I got. Could ve gotten a better deal in nearby motels. My body is now all itchy with bites.

One Word!
Bed Bugs!

If I could put zero I would, This motel is a horrible roach motel that discriminated againist disabled people in march 2008 my boyfriend looked at a room there and the man that owns it said my boyfriend was having problems going up 2 steps by the front door snd refused to rent the room to us we ended up staying at the american suites down the street where it was alot nicer and more stairs the owners did not care that he was disabled, the motel was reported for discrimination DO NOT STAY HERE RUDE OWNERS THAT LIE!!!

I would give this 3−½ stars, so 4 is what I can give it in actuality. It’s like a 2−½ to 3-​star place except the cost is low so it gets extry points.
For around 60 bucks, there’s nothing wrong with this place. There’s a 100 dollar place next door which might be a little nicer, but this place was fine. The room was a bit tiny, but the bed was ok, which is unusual for a place at this price. Everything was clean, the help was helpful, there was no deposit needed, and I was in real quick and it was like 5 steps to my car. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, and there’s a porn store across the street (if you like that kind of thing).
No problemo.

I stayed there on two occasions. The first time it seemed OK, although there was a dead fly on the top of the head board and the toilet didn’t work very well.
The next time I had a different room. when I entered it I noticed that the window was open. There was a musty odor, which seemed unusual for a hotel room. I was tired and ignored it.
The second day I returned at 8:30PM and the window was open again. I was concerned that my belongings were not as secure as I had left them in the morning. The musty odor was stronger. After a few minutes it began to bother me and I asked if I could switch to another room. The woman at the desk told me there were no more nonsmoking rooms left.
First she asked me if I could just leave the window open so that the smell would go away. I pointed out that someone had already had the window open most of the day without fixing things. She next tried to tell me that she couldn’t smell it but the odor might be Pine Sol from the VERY minimal cleaning that had been performed that day. It obviously wasn’t.
Then she changed her story again and said she didn’t smell anything at all and just walked away.
I Returned at 11:45PM and counted the cars in the lot. 6 vehicles, including mine, and 7 rooms marked nonsmoking. I have no confidence in anything they say and definitely don’t plan to return there.

Manager was polite offering me a refund if I looked inside the room and didn’t like it, room was neat, clean, and tidy. Small rooms, but not bad at all for the price I paid of 59.99 for a night.

Recently I stayed at this Motel for an evening until my apt was ready.
The woman at the front desk wasn’t incredibly accommodating, but the price and availability was right.
$ 70/​night for two hard beds and slightly scratchy sheets.
It wasn’t the worst, but I have stayed in nicer hostels. If you are definitely on a budget, this may be up your alley.
Seedy outside with a passable interior.

My good friend stayed here for a few nights. It was recommended by his potential employer. WHAT? Could they have recommended some place better? It’s Mountain View. There are places that are way better than the Budget Motel.
We ended up calling this place the «fabulous» hotel, just for jokes. The rooms were tiny. You could walk from one end of the room to the other in about ten steps with a few twists of the body to avoid banging into the bed or tv stand, or wall. In order to sit on the one chair in the room, you would have to back into it and twist your body to avoid cracking your ribs from the round table that took up precious space. There was precisely 12 inches between the bed and the walls. You couldn’t feel more cramped, unless you were a contortionist or spiderman or wanted to practice salsa.
I was told that service was bad too. The manager was not welcoming or professional. When my friend called to ask about breakfast, the guy said «you can pay $ 150 and I’ll get you breakfast». He would NOT be happy to see you or hear from you.
It is what you pay for. You might be better off looking at Unilocal’s ‘You might also want to consider’ section, just above all these reviews (or lack thereof).
The only good thing my friend mentioned was that there were covered carports, which made it very nice for the rainy weekend he visited the Bay Area. The carport was almost the same size as the room, and also allowed precisely 12 inches from the body of the car to the wall. Convenient location close to Castro meant good food was only a short walk away.
