I would not recommend staying at Budget Lodge Inn in Abilene, Kansas. Our room was in very poor condition. The floors had clearly not been swept, there was hair in the bed, and the entire room reeked of cigarette smoke, making it very unpleasant from the moment we walked in.
The most concerning part was that I woke up extremely, extremely sick after spending the night in the room. Because of the condition of the room and how I felt afterward, I was concerned there may have been mold present, although I can't say for certain without testing.
When we brought these issues to the front desk and requested a refund, the staff were rude and not understanding. They refused to give us a refund despite the condition of the room and our concerns, and the interaction left us feeling dismissed rather than helped. Overall, the cleanliness, customer service, and handling of the situation were very disappointing. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel. read more
