Its much cheaper than any other budget hotel in the area and actually liveable if you only plan on staying a night. If youre on an extreme budget and and need to stop for a break this one isnt the worst option. Otherwise, spend the extra money on a nicer hotel.

The room was clean and the staff was very nice. It appeared the hotel was in the middle of renovations and mattresses were piled up in the walkway on the first floor in front of our room. The hotel was in a sketchy area of town and there was glass protection for the check-in staff which normally doesn't bother me for a 1-night stay, but I found an old needle hidden in the room. It was shoved between the headboard and the wall so I understand why the cleaning staff missed it. Shady people were in the walkway in front of the room all night and at 3 am a huge man knocked on my door and woke me up. I was glad the door had a peephole so I didn't have to answer it.

I have been staying at Budget Inn for several months now while I attempt to remodel my home. The staff here goes above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The rooms aren't as fancy as some other hotels but the price is affordable and the rooms are clean. I would recommend Budget Inn to anyone looking for a place to stay while in Alexandria.

The only thing I could say that I didn't like is if I am paying for a room I should be allowed to have whoever I want in my room as long as there is a limit correct for a big room three they're three people get hit in that room the double beds for there's two beds two people to bed it should not matter who I have at my room if I'm paying for it

I understand it’s called Budget Inn for a reason. There are certain risks I allow myself to take to save some money on the road but this is a hotel you don’t want to stay at. The young man at check in was nice and showed me to my room navigating me past the tower of old dirty mattresses,but told me to keep my head down and not talk to anyone. The room was relatively clean but I had no blanket. The TV didn’t work and the toilet ran every 2 minutes. The plug by the sink also didn’t work. If you are a solo female traveller like me you will definitely feel unsafe. Expedia needs to do a better job screening their properties.
