“Worst I ever been in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

The minute we walked in we were hit with tremendous amounts of disgusting cigarette smoke. The beds were horrific and just plain filthy. There is diseased comforters on each bed and spider webs,giant insects, and spiders in the window sill. Sheets have urine stains wit hair on the comforters. We couldn't sleep all night because there was no heater no clean sheets no lock on the door , and burned sheets. The restroom is just ridiculously dirty the sink has ever been cleaned and the tub is just disgusting the towels are deny and disgusting ah. The refrigerator barely works the microwave doesn't work the heater is almost falling of the wall. We were so cold during the night that I guess they decided to show there budget inn hospitality by bring us a carbon dioxide space heater in morning. My whole family has sinus and my grandpa is a diabetic the smells and living conditions are not even worth your dog or pet living in here . The lamps don't work and they gave us a blanket in the closet that has been sitting there since the Elvis Presley days. There are so many disgusting features that I can't even describe them all. BOTTOM LINE DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT STAY HERE EVEN IF YOU HOMELESS AND THEY GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE DON'T DO IT. THIS IS PLAIN DISGUSTING AND I THINK MY DOGS WOULD DIE IN HERE HONESTLY WERE NOT EVEN LYING I WILL POST THE PICTURES TO SHOW THEM...FOR PROOF

Room Tip: Don't even get a room

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2010

We booked this hotel on Expedia. When we arrived it was late and we had booked the room for 2 days. When we opened the door we saw a horrible room with an even worse stench.
The carpet wasn't only filthy but it had wrinkles so big that you would trip on them. There was no covers on the plug ins just bare wires. The bed was so dirty that I wouldn't even put my purse on it. The bathroom was even worse, and the window wouldn't shut. The front door had about a 2" gap under it. We didn't even stay in the room, we slept in our car. STAY AWAY from here!

Dear Guest:

you for choosing Budget Inn for your recent stay.

Upon receiving your guest review, immediate action was taken to have the matters which you brought up looked into. This certainly not the standards which we intend to have here . I think you will be pleased to know that the staff has received additional training as to the cleanliness which we expect them to meet in maintaining our rooms. We also contacted maintenance concerning the gap under the front door of your room.

Thank you so much for calling these matters to our attention. It is people like you who help us to be sure that the standards we set for our establishment are being maintained. I hope that you will change your mind about not staying here again. I think you will be greatly pleased the next time you stay at Budget Inn.

Sincerely,

“DON'T STAY IN THIS FILTH AND HELLHOLE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2009

We were caught with no room during the balloon festival. I cannot describe the horrible conditions of this room. We walked in to dirty beds that had been slightly straightened back, no toilet paper and kitchen towels for bath towels. The dust was so thick on everything that we knew it couldn't have been cleaned in a very long time. We had to actually go out and buy our own sheets to put on the bed. I used a can of lysol in this room and it still stunk. The toilet was not bolted to the floor and the bathroom window was stuck open so we froze all night. The carpet was so filthy. We stayed in room 14 and our friends were in 11 and 15. I thought I had the worst room imaginable but 11 was so full of urine that all the lysol in the world couln't help. The bathtub was so black at the bottom (she was scared to get in at all). Do not stay here!!!

Dear Guest:

Thank you for choosing Budget Inn for your recent stay. I hope that you had a wonderful time at the balloon festival.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out a guest review I am personally appalled at the conditions which you report. This is certainly not the kind of hospitality we intend to offer our valued guests. The following steps were immediately taken:

1. Meetings were held with the entire staff and they received additional training in maintaining the standards which we have set for our inn. This includes proper cleaning and also proper supplies being in the room.

2. We will be doing checks to make sure that our standards are being met.

3. We spoke to maintenance about the bathroom window in Room 14 and saw to it that it was fixed immediately.

I think you will be greatly pleased the next time you stay at Budget Inn.

Sincerely,

“Stay Away !!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2009

The location is good because it's just off the freeway but that's it. We got in about 11:30pm and it was bad from the start. The first room we were given looked ok going in but before we took our stuff out the car, we saw roaches on the pictures on the wall and crawling bed also. We told the front desk clerk and she gave us the key to another room.
Room #2 had a car parked in front of the door, so I went and got the clerk to let her know, and she went banging on the door. A lady opened it and she told me and the lady she was sorry she forgot that she had given it to someone. Room #3, as soon as we got in the room and looked beside the bed on the floor it was a USED womens personal item !!
That was the last straw so we let the lady know we were not staying and she still didn't
give us our money back!!! She said that we were given three rooms already and we should try another one. This was about 11:50 pm now.We did contact the VPD and i do have the police report that i filled out.

“Ready For Vacation In Vidalia Again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2008

We have seen negative comments about the Budget Inn in Vidalia and true enough, it is a work in progress, but the staff went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasent one. We were so busy all we did was sleep in the room. Vidalia has really changed and when we return we hope to stay at the Budget Inn. Sister and the Cleaning Crew were there whenever we needed them.
