My minumum expectations for lodging include: clean, quiet, comfortable bed, good plumbing, lots of hot water, upkeep of the property. All of these were met by the Budget Host Inn. Plus, they have Turner Classic Movies on cable, always a treat for me. And at a room rate under $40/night, you can't beat it. If there's one negative, it's that... More

I am currently walking across America as a means of raising money for charity. When I cam through Emporia, I stayed at the Budget Host, and what a great call! Located outside the hustle and bustle, but within reach of everything (even walking), the hotel was a nice respite from the grind of walking all day through the city. The... More

We decided to stay here after reading the reviews. This is a great place if you are traveling on I-35 and just need a place to stay for the night that is budget friendly. Their price was significantly less than other budget hotels in Emporia. The rooms were way out of date, almost to the point they were retro and... More

I first heard this motel was an OK place about a month ago. A couple of weeks ago I had planned on staying here until I saw their billboard which did not say anything about WiFi. But after checking online I found the location did have free WiFi so I stopped this time. As long as you don't mind staying... More

I was tired and this is the first motel I came to. The room smelled musty, the walls were beat up, needs paint, there was duct tape on the threshold (maybe holding the carpet down. Does not have a long distance carrier. It reminded me of motels from the 50's. The cost was low but even with that factor I... More

In 2010 times are hard, economy is bad & we do our best to save you money. Budget Host has 100% Wifi access, for less then $40 we cant provide computers for you to use in rooms. Mostly everyone in 2010 travel with a laptop and we provide free internet access for that. As far as the room, yes the... More

My wife and myself travel from Texas to Iowa at least once a year. We discovered this place a couple of years ago. If you want to save money and can do without a lot of frills, this is the place to stay. It was probably built at least 50 or more years ago but is clean and in good... More
