The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but it needs a new foundation or box spring. Every time I rolled over, I woke my husband. The desk in the room was large and comfortable, and I was able to get some work done. The room needs a second chair. My husband kept taking the desk chair for a place to sit when I needed it to work on my computer.
Live roaches in room. Mouse? hole in baseboard. I think the issue is that they had monthly renters and/or workers staying permanently in the room next door = food = roaches.
Room was complete filth. Microwave had to be cleaned before it could even be used. Light switches and electrical outlets were caked in dirt. These are clearly not hotels for travelers, rather semi-permanent residents. Lawn chairs, yard equipment, coolers out side of the doors in the walkway. Looks like transient housing. Looking at the rest of the town though, heavily boarded up, graphitti, abandoned buildings in demise, this may be one of the better motels.
First time booking there. Coming in off the highway going to the Inn, we passed many derelict buildings which made me uncomfortable. But I thought it is what it is. Long story short. Conditions improved as we got closer.
Check-in was smooth. Staff helpful and pleasant. The room was fine for our needs. Great price point, clean. Good wifi for streaming. Got a good nights rest. Nice to have parking for offloading luggage at the door. If anything negative, they could pay closer attention to details re finer cleaning, ie baseboards etc… but, meh, not a deal breaker! Will stay again.

The manager Mike was very helpful and the room was renovated but the bathroom was small.
Very disappointed in this hotel. One thing i used to love about hotels.com was they were able to help if you had an emergency, but some hotels are more concerned with getting your money no matter what. This hoitel - Budget Inn - is one of those hotels.
We had a situation come up and my husband had to head home, and he couid not stay the night there. Insyead of working with us this hotel jusy said too bad, you lose your money wether you stay or not.
For that reason only, we do not recommend this hitel now or ever. We will let all our friemds and family know not to stay at rhis hotel ever.
Bare minimum in the rooms.. No coffee machine, no hair dryer, NO PHONE, no Kleenex. This location will not be on my list of places to stay when I pass through Tucumcari again....

Room small but acceptable. Bed sheet had hairs on it, so slept on top of covers. Dog walk area was great. It was worth what you paid for.

What you'd expect from a really cheap hotel.
For the price it was acceptable for a stop-and-go overnight stay. It was clean enough where it mattered.
The staff went above and beyond. My wife found it especially clean

Black mold around the edge of the Barthtub and wall behind toilet. Water leaking between the tub Spicket and tub, because it is not mounted right. Molding at the floor coming apart. Carpet is nasty. AC filter was plugged up. No maintenance at this place at all. But this is what you get when certain people start buying out places and all they want is the money and don’t care about upkeep. Swimming pools are being filled with sand and cement, that way they don’t have to be maintained. Would not recommend or stay there again.
