A disaster. Loud highway location, rotting grounds dirty sign, brokendown, no lobby. Took 25 minutes to get someone to check you in, lobby closed due to covid. Room was clean but wifi non existent. Grounds are decrepit and shabby. Woman working was nice but overwhelmed. New owners. A hard no. read more

BUDGET INN, ALBANY, OREGON is a filthy, unsanitary, broken-down hovel of a "hotel". I am quoting it's (EXPEDIA'S AND BUDGET INN'S) blatantly false advertising directly from the EXPEDIA website. (WARNING: DO NOT USE EXPEDIA TRAVEL SITE for accurate/honest info re traveling). There is no coffee shop/cafe; no tennis court or 24 hour fitness center; nothing is Art Deco. There are no BBQ grills or garden; deep soaking tubs, DVD players or free amenities. The rooms wreaked of ingrained cigarette smell and ?? The "amenities" were $1.00 a piece and were a hodge-podge of worn-out shampoos/soaps from other hotels. I am posting pictures of the reality of this filth-infested horror to substantiate this review. We did not stay nor did EXPEDIAr the hotel return our money. Follow-up--After hours on the phone on hold and after repeated attempts to send my request for refund to the website address the EXPEDIA operator(s) provided that was unable to accept emails as their box "was full", long story, short, EXPEDIA did give us a coupon to cover the costs of this hotel debacle to be used for a future adventure planned through them. While it was not a refund, it was offered in good faith.) PER EXPEDIA ADVERTISEMENT: "The motel offers a coffee shop/café. Wireless Internet access is complimentary. Budget Inn Albany features an outdoor tennis court and a 24-hour fitness center. This Art Deco motel also offers tour/ticket assistance, barbecue grills, and a garden. Budget Inn Albany has designated areas for smoking. A 24-hour fitness center, a coffee shop/café, and an outdoor tennis court are available at this motel. WiFi in public areas is free. Other amenities include self parking, concierge services, and a 24-hour front desk. All 32 rooms boast deep soaking tubs and offer WiFi and LED TVs. Guests will also find DVD players, refrigerators, and microwaves." Once again, outright lies. Read the other reviews.Look at the pictures posted. EXPEDIA ASKED ME TO REVIEW THE HOTEL FOR THEIR SITE BUT THEN DID NOT POST MY REVIEW OR PICTURES. read more

Don't do it. Sleep in your car.. Buy a tent.. Knock on a strangers door.. Just don't stay here. The front desk dude charged me more money than what I paid for on Travelocity. The room was the worst. The bedding was questionably clean, the walls were gross. The entire bathroom and entry way was an add on to the room itself. Don't subject yourself to this mess. read more

I would give this motel zero stars if I could. Do not stay here, the place is disgusting and the owner post low rates online but adds add-instead that's do not make any sense. IE they charge you if you have a second person staying, never heard of that before. Manager at window does not know customer service. BEWARE, do not waste your money here. Literally the most expensive and grossest place I've ever stayed at. Does not seem like it's been cleaned in decades. read more

Not even worth a star. Dead bugs all over the rooms. Gum on the bed post. Dirt and dust everywhere. Smashed bugs/guts all over the walls. Cords everywhere. These people legit do not care. Horror show. Should have just slept in the car. read more

0 of 5 - cleanliness --- cigarette butts on patio, and on counter WHEN WE CHECKED IN, washcloth looked like either it hadn't been washed in weeks or were used to clean something other than the room because room was disgusting. Towels looked like they had been chewed on by animals they had so many ratty holes and tears 0 of 5 - condition --- Big sign on patio door 'caution do not use may fall out". Bottom sheet had several giant holes and tears, top sheet was actually a bottom sheet, permanent smoke smell made me wanna puke 0 of 5 - grounds --- looked like a "by the hour" establishment, reservation and check in paperwork said king, room had one double (although at one time had 2 doubles - see pic... 0 of 5 - Manager --- admitted when we asked for our money back that the woman before us "stayed about a week and said the room was clean"..... hmmm he didn't check, and instead took her word that she cleaned it?!? 0 of 5 - other patrons --- while waiting nearly 30 minutes trying to get money back, two others refused the quality of their rooms, and saw list on counter of a stack of room cancellations, only hotel in area that wasn't packed to capacity and sold out... only 2 cars in lot when i went by to get to my replacement hotel next property over which had cars double parked to fit them all. read more

The only reason I stayed here was because it was a Saturday night during summer and I had no other options after traveling for many hours. This place is BEYOND DISGUSTING. First room I checked into had crumbs and other crap on all surfaces and smelled disgusting. Second one no difference, except it smelled not just of chemicals and curry, but smoke as well. Had to plug in the barely functioning fridge, TV and AC unit. Just found a video about bedbugs as well (haven't seen any yet, but there is a stack of 8 mattresses next to the dumpster). The towels in the bathroom were filthy and I was afraid to take a shower. Also afraid to touch anything so used kleenex to do so. OMG IT'S SO GROSS!!! It seems no cleaning is done. read more

Wow. Just wow. Why this place is not shut down is beyond me. I should have read the reviews but I was driving and trusted my man to find us a place. DO NOT GO HERE. Seriously do not go here. The room was beyond filthy. And a hooker outside our door asked me " is that your man?" Seriously. UGH!!! read more

I am not kidding you guys. All of these bad reviews are 100% true. This owner HATES making money clearly. I have come there numerous times. He threw me attitude every single time. This last time asked him if I could stay for the night and he said $95 (seems a bit high for the area and right next door is way less at Motel 6) then when I said ok, I would like to check out the next night, instead of saying "Okay, then I will have to charge you for 2 nights then," he got SUPER-PISSED and pushed my ID back to me and put his paperwork away and said: "Well, forget it. Get out of here." I said: "It seems like you don't want to make money. You did this same exact thing the last few times I came here. What is your problem?" THIS owner and motel are exactly why Airbnb and its competitors are MASSIVE COMPANIES. This dude treats his own customers like trash, people that are literally pulling out hundreds of dollars to pay him. My suggestion is to go to the Motel6 next door or do Airbnb or their competitors. One of the other reviewers is right: "Shut this place down." I even told him that. And I run a business so I know what it's like to have tough customers. I think he doesn't like you if you're friendly. He doesn't even warm up if you're trying to be kind or funny. This might be the weirdest dude I've ever met and check my reviews. I HATE posting bad reviews. Hate it. This guy -- I had to post this for you guys out there looking around. This motel is GARBAGE. Do not go here. He HATES making money and he HATES making customers happy. read more

Everyone Pretty Much Says It all! Bed bugs everywhere dirty toilet mold in bathroom and rude owner refused to give money back! We left and slept in car after he insulted us. Do not sleep here save your money I felt dirty leaving the place at midnight after being bitten several times!! read more

Wish there was no stars. Mold, bugs.....disgusting! Better to sleep outside or in the car, wish I would have. read more

If I only read the reviews! Good Lord Almighty! I cannot believe I subjected my poor family to this piece of shit motel. All true: rudest owner ever, nasty stinch in the air, surplus furniture (70s), extra charge for child, dirty sheets, sink, bathtub, towels, walls. I tried calling other hotels nearby and no availability. I had no choice. I literally cried. Went to take pix of owner for our yelp review, he got mad, he came out & took pix of our license plate & proceeded to jump on the back of our car and my husband drove away hoping he'd jump off--no! He was yelling" I'm being kidnapped" I swear to God, this happened. My kids were so scared. We finally pulled over and he jumped off, hitting our back window & we were able to drive away. He had to walk back 1/4 mile. You cannot make this shit up! It's funny now, but not at the moment. NEGATIVE FIVE THOUSAND STARS read more

If I could give zero stars I most definitely would. The guy who runs the place has to be the rudest man alive. The room was DISGUSTING. Blood on one pillow case. The bathroom smelled like urine. The trash had not been emptied. The list is endless. Sleeping in the car would have been a better option. read more

Room 213 has bedbugs. We typed into YouTube budget inn Albany or bedbugs and there are videos showing it as well. He had all of his headboards outside indicating he knows about the infestation but isn't hiring a exterminator. Also he accused us of bringing in the bugs. But then openly admitted to having them and that he's installed bug deterring mechanisms on the bed. Well it didn't stop our bugs from getting onto the mattress. Don't stay here as they can infest your clothing and go home with you. read more

My mother and I came to stay at Budget Inn the people were very polite but I was told by friend that lives in Albany Oregon not to stay there because they have bed bugs. So I stopped my mother at checkout upon entering and ran to go check the bed. After peeling back four layers of mattress protectors over a TempurPedic mattress soiled with food debris and whatever else, we did find a bedbug I brought it in a tissue showed it to the owner and then we went to the Motel 6 next door I understand they are very hard to get rid of but you cannot cover them up with for mattress protectors. Also the bedroom smell very musty and it was not a smoking room. Will never go there again read more

I just saw the owner at budget inn sweeping the outside of one of the motel rooms. I will say it's going to take a lot more than just sweeping the porch to get that motel cleaned up. I would seriously consider having that motel torn down. It's old and the owners are not willing to take special care and clean up that motel. It's a waste of effort read more

Can I give a negative rating - because I would really like to. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY HERE! The first room we checked into was filthy and stinky and hot. There was also toilet paper in the toilet so my husband flushed it and water started spewing out of the back of the tank. We quickly got our things and ran down to the office to tell the guy the problem so he could fix it and to get another room. We got another room, checked the toilet and that was ok. Room looked a little cleaner than the first one so we said thank you and went to grab a bite to eat. We came back and started to get ready for bed. After pulling the covers back I notice there are black things all over in the bed. I thought they were fuzzies from the comforter. I get my phone flashlight to discover they are bedbug carcasses.. :-O Also pubic hairs and a huge yellow stain which I wasn't quite sure what it was. We both packed up our stuff and headed to the office for a refund and to get the heck outta there. This guy running the desk that night was the rudest person I have ever met. Who also had not never heard the phrase "Customer is always right" He said that we were lying about the dirty bed and that I needed to show him the bugs and hair in the bed. I said C'mon I'll show you. After taking him to the room and him continuing to fight with my husband he said that he wasn't going to refund us any money because we had left the AC and the lights on in the first room. We were just trying to get to the office quickly so he could go back up and figure out what to do with the toilet water going everywhere!!! And he said that my husband used the toilet and plugged it up - which was certainly NOT the CASE! Worst hotel experience EVER!! They should not have a business license!! read more

Sept 6th 2019 while on a road trip in OR my son's car broke down and needed a place to stay while his car was being repaired. I phoned Expedia and booked a same day reservation Budget Inn Albany OR. I called in the reservation to Expedia because I wanted to make sure that I could make the reservation under my son's name and pay with my credit card (I was assured this was possible). When my son showed up at the Budget Inn hotel he was told that the hotel's power was out all day and they could not take his reservation. They could only take cash and they would not honor the internet rate published on Expedia of $50/nigh and that the per night rate was $89 (for a hotel without power). That evening I called Expedia to explain that the hotel would not honor the reservation and I wanted to cancel the reservation without penalty. After some back and forth between Expedia and the Budget Inn Albany today 9/12 I was told that the Budget Inn would NOT cancel without cancellation fees. Avoid being scammed and ripped off. Don't stay here! read more

Every other review says the same thing. But I just have to reiterate, DO NOT GO HERE!!! Seriously, sleep on the streets before you sleep here. It is by far the grossest motel room I've ever seen. I'm not a picky person, but I walked out of the room almost gagging after being inside for 10 seconds. I went to get a refund and the manager became belligerent. I do not have any idea how this is even a functioning business. read more

I would NOT recommend this motel!! Even for a short stay for 12 hours - there were so many things lacking that it made it almost painful to be there. Many simple things could have done to make this a more comfortable stay. Trust me - don't stay here!! read more

The place was disgusting. I felt like I needed to take a shower just sitting there. It was dingy and gross and my kids found porn magazine under the mattresses. read more

This is the worst place I have ever seen. Booked online. Dirtiest bathtub in the world. I would not have used. Mold on the walls. Ugly bed sheets. Was worried about bed bugs. We did not stay and he would not give us our money back! He was a jerk about everything. No matter how desperate don't stay here. read more

The ambience, the lighting! Let's not forget the bed bugs! If you are in need of new friends in very low places this could be your new hangout. I absolutely loved the drive-by stares and gang signs thrown. NOT! read more
