The room was very clean. One bed had afirm3 matress and the second bed had a softer one. Would have been nice to have a garbage can in our room, plus a hand towel near the sink. Other than that, it was perfect. The breakfast was great too. Lots of variety too. We will reccomend you to others and we will be back again.

The room was large and really clean and the staff were lovely. This is not a high-end place, but for the price it was excellent! I’ve spent more money on places that were disappointing compared to this motel. It’s not The Ritz, but we knew that going in and we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was included, nothing fancy, but it was adequate. The usual continental stuff, but also scrambled eggs, bacon, and I think there was a setup for waffles or pancakes but we didn’t use it.

My trip to the Western Budget Motel was a decent one. The staff were lovely, friendly, helpful, and happy to assist me. The room itself was clean, and I loved having the full kitchenette in the room, especially nice to have when you have allergies and need to bring your food to eat. The shower was undesirable to say the least, not only was there little to no pressure, but the hot water was at best lukewarm. Hotels/Motels typically don't have the best shower pressure, but this was less than what most others have. The mattress for me was not the greatest, as it was a foam mattress. So for some, this may be a marvelous mattress, and for others, like myself, it left me with quite a bit of pain. There was the concern of a plastic covering over the smoke detector, which I didn't notice until the morning. I did let the staff know upon checkout. The continental breakfast was fairly decent, with a fair bit to choose from. Although for someone with allergies, I was very limited, but that was to be expected, which is why I brought my food. Overall, the stay was decent, and I was delightfully happy to have a clean, safe, and peaceful space to stay while at a weekend event. Thank you, Western Budget Motel

Breakfast is hit and miss. We stay here frequently. It's always clean, the staff is friendly, it's quiet. There's nothing ever to complain about besides the lack of breakfast some mornings. We typically always grab breakfast at the same time anytime we've stayed here but it varies from how much is left and they typically don't do a restock so just be prepared you may have to source breakfast elsewhere if you do stay here and you go to breakfast later in the morning

Rooms are decently clean. The staff is very kind. Only downside is the comfortability of the beds and the breakfast was pretty limited most mornings. But overall it's convenient and average to stay at.

Room was very spacious and had a good supply of glasses, a full size fridge. Temperature control was poor; had to keep windows open. Beds do not have proper mattresses, and combined with the hard pillows, it was like sleeping on the ground! Huge surprise at checkout. This hotel charges you $50 if you use the glasses in the room and don’t wash them.
