“Sure glad I stopped there!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

It was January 2, 2012 and I had received a call that my sister was critically ill in Springfield, Mo. I was traveling alone and it was getting dark so I stopped for the night. The first motel I stopped at was too expensive so I saw the sign for Family Budget. I didn't even ask to see the
room first, I just checked in with the friendly desk clerk and got a room. This was one of the cleanest motels I have stayed in! I have stayed at pricey hotels and motels that were not nearly as clean and well kept as this one, it just
sparkled. I so appreciated it as I was exhausted and just wanted to rest. It was so comfortable there and the breakfast made it so handy that I could just eat and get on the road to Springfield again. I felt so safe there. I will definitely stay there again.

“Great Price and Very Clean!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I stopped here when traveling through on my way to Arizona. I was very happy when I got to the room and saw how clean it was. I needed a place to sleep and shower and it was more than adequate. The rooms are spacious, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. There is a fridge, microwave and coffee. The continental breakfast was just that (cereal, coffee, fruit, muffins, etc...) I will stay again when traveling back through.

“It's very clean & reasonably priced. Is that the best there is in Bethany?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

No doubt that our room was clean and the price was right. The FBI is very basic. For example, the soap label actually reads "For Bath and Hair". Really! So don't bother looking for shampoo. Breakfast was very 'continental'. That's OK for the price. The hall smelled somewhat musty. But the room was definitely clean and comfortable.

“Very pleasantly surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We were traveling and needed to stop for the night. Noticed their sign with a very good price, so we took a chance. The room was great, better than some chains we've stayed in. Very clean and updated, everything you needed too (fridge, microwave, coffee, etc.). Nice breakfast in the morning. We thought the hotel might be noisy (people talking in the hall, doors banging etc.), but we didn't hear a thing all night. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

“Clean. A good value.”

On a recent trip east with my little dog in tow, Bethany was my first stop and I had booked a room at this hotel based on reviews of dog friendly hotels. I was a little wary as I pulled up to the Family Budget Inn but upon entering my room, I knew the reviews I read were true. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a large breakfast room behind the reception area that was pleasant in the morning. If you stay here, don't miss El Nopal Mexican which is nearby.
