I did not like this property because the manager or owner was very rude and angry about the fact that I booked my reservation online. The next time I went he was yelling that he had a $3,000 water bill like it was my fault and told me that he didn't care what expedia had on the website he was charging $75 and was not taking reservations made online. Basically he wants you to pay with cash so he can get the money right then and does not want you to book online because he claims he doesn't get all the money. The maid was coughing so bad that I thought she had covid and anyone who has been here before knows what I am talking about I stayed here twice in both times she appeared to be coughing badly. If you stay here check the mattress pads and make sure they are clean and also check the mattress itself. Pull the covers back to ensure that your sheets are clean. And if I can't make my reservation online then I will no longer deal with this establishment

Mr, BILLY JAMES GREER. You are the one who bring the trouble in your room. The lady in your room and the guy visiting know each other and they had issue. Involving to Front desk at 1:30am for your internal issue. We were about to called sheriff and the lady in room asked the guy to leave.

Avoid !!
I left and went to another hotel. Spent 10 min in room - decided to walk across parking to Waffle House. Met a couple crack heads in the parking lot . Re looked at my room and saw dirt and broken toilet seat. Water damage all along air conditioning unit - gross. Just left - went to another hotel. Literally paid for 2 hotels on same night . Felt very dirty and unsafe. Worried about leaving my tools in car . Avoid

Should Have Known
My friend recommended this hotel and I was skeptical because I know the area well. The room smelled like perfume/cologne immediately my head started hurting. Went to bathroom to take a shower and almost slipped and fell because the floor was soaking wet apparently the toilet was leaking. Went to the front desk and mentioned to her. No discount or replacement room just a few more towels to get up the water. Roaches were in the room. Possible bed bugs because my body is red and bumpy lastly the bed was so uncomfortable & lumpy I should've slept in my car. Very disappointed.

We checked in during Hurricane Florence and within 30 minutes we checked out. This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in and they charged us for 2 rooms for that day, AND EXPEDIA DID NOTHING! One of our NON-Smoking rooms smelled like someone had pissed in it, awful. The other room smelled just as bad and was filthy. Lamp in corner wouldn't come and I had to plug it into the wall. One side wouldn't work and the 2nd plug did, but there was no cover over the wall plug and you had to be careful not to push it back into the wall. Seriously thinking of calling local Health Dept on this place.

The check-in lady charged 10.00 extra for a non-smoking room,... it was not a non-smoking room. Room 201 smelled terrible, had cigarette burns on the side of the tub, no blanket on the bed.... The only nice thing, was the three black cleaning ladies. I gave all three of them a tip, as they were still trying to clean the room, as I was walking in.

Very Unsatisfied customer
The lobby of the hotel was clean very beautiful, but when we got to the room I was scare to walk in and when we did it was worst then I thought we couldnt sleep and it was to late to look for another hotel. We drove 7 hours to come to my daughters military AIT graduation. I checked the reviews it was mostly good but when you pay low you better expect horrible conditions.

Bed bugs, Roaches - Rude and Disgusting
I purchased 3 rooms for our stay in Augusta last week. I first felt unsafe due to the slide lock receptacle being non existent on the door. I then felt grossed out by the clumps of hair in the shower and sink drains clogging both. Then grossed out again by the holes in the wall. Then grossed out again when I saw cockroaches coming out of said holes on the second night. My friend was bitten by bed bugs on the second night. He was bitten 4 times on his right shoulder, 3 times on his chin, and once on his forehead. They made him take his shirt off at the front desk to provide proof, in front of a lobby full of people. I informed the front desk of the situation in the rooms I had purchased, and asked for a refund for the remaining nights. She asked me for proof of the issues, to which I referred to my friends fight with the bed bugs, then the cockroaches in my room. We booked rooms at a different hotel for the remainder of the stay. I have not received a refund for my stay from the Budgetel inn, and was never called back by the manager to follow up on the complaint. The whole time I spoke with the manager, she made me feel like it was my fault, and I had done something wrong. She actually said at one point in the conversation “why did you not notice this sooner?” How do you even answer that?

Where do i start with this place. What a dump. The doors barely lock, the rooms are dirtier than the waffle house dumpster across the parking lot & i don't mean to put down waffle house but this place is one AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I stayed 2 nights for the masters and didn't even want to leave my bags in the room. Ended up getting attached by bed bugs. The Manager didn't want to refund my money due to thinking i was trying to get out of reservations since Saturday weather at the masters looked bad. I had to show all the guests eating breakfast in the lounge by bites on my face and back before they gave me back 2 of my 3 nights of money. This place just needs to go out of business. DO NOT STAY HERE. I am from a farm and have dealt with some bad hotels and made it out alright. This one put me over the top. Do not endanger your family by taking a chance of bringing back god knows what from this place. TERRIBLE.
