Stay was fine. Only complaint is lack of maid service. I stayed from a Monday till the following Saturday and I never had anyone bring me clean towels, or empty the trash, which normally are the only things I need during a stay. I can make the bed but during a week stay, people will need towels. I will stay there again because of the price and the convenience but I’ll bring extra towels next time.

Not worth it
The pics posted are not how it looks. Rooms were clean and people were friendly. The whole operation looked half ass and poorly owned. Certainly wasn’t worth the $120 I paid. It’s literally only a $50 room.

If you need a quick cheap stay, spend a little extra and go down the road. The lobby was bare, no furniture like pictured. The attendant couldnt program a room key, so we had to wait until 5 p.m. for someone else to come and do it for us. The room was a non smoking, yet reeked with smokey, old bowling alley smell. The bed was like a slab of rock. The tub, tolit and sink were clean, but that was it! It was all over dusty and the counters were wiped with a used rag to leave residue. Sleeping in the back of a truck would have been more enjoyable. I could go on, but that paints a pretty accurate picture...

Passing through Trinidad
Room was definitely worn. needs paint job, but overall pretty clean. Coffee pot had not been cleaned, and shower even though it’s clean is pretty worn out. Everything in the room is pretty aged, but still works fine. Bed slept OK. Staff was helpful

Just what we needed
I’ve read the reviews and was a little concerned about staying here. But this place is just fine. Some people are never happy happy so blow them off. And other people expect a 10 star hotel for a nominal fee. This place was just perfect for the average Joe.

The dirtiest room ever
We checked in and went to our room and it was filthy. No lamp shades on the lamps. Baseboards had crud on them. The floor was so dirty that the front desk person vacuumed. My husband dusted with a damp washcloth. The beds sheets looked clean. We only stayed because it was non refundable. The front desk guy said he couldn’t even comp us because we booked and paid through a third party. I would not not not recommend this hotel.

Traveling to santa fe with my mother(who has parkinson's). We needed to stop.. most other places were already booked, so we had limited choices. 1st- the staff was friendly, I have no complaints about them. The room was atrocious. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades. There was a thick layer of dust on the tv, the sheets were stained and had holes, the sink faucet had splatters from the previous people that were in there(tooth brushing splatters), the toilet seat was lifted as tho it was cleaned, but there were pee splatters all over. Mold in the shower tracks, mold in the fridge! Thank god for lysol disinfectant wipes and luckily having our own pillows and blankets!!! I really feel like they should be paying me to stay here. The door was so hard to open and close, I went to go get us some dinner and when I came back, I had to get a staff member to come and help open it. I would have tried to get us a different place, but with my moms parkinsons, it was almost out of the question by then.. I don't think I'll be able to sleep here tonight. Great job Budget Host, putting a tired and weary traveler back out on the road.

NOT as advertised and certainly NOT worth the $$! No working television, heat or air in the room. The carpeted floor was so dirty that my bare feet were BLACK after walking on them. Mold in shower and tile grout in bathroom. The front desk was unattended during the day and my complaint about no working TV was greeted with laughter. "Ooohhh... we haven't had tv for weeks! It should be back up in November". . That was after calling for over an hour with no answer! No coffee or breakfast at all in the lobby! If you're looking for bargain basement prices this one still isn't worth it! Keep Looking!

There didn’t seem to be much attempt on upkeep. The inside of the front door as weep as the outside were very dirty. The shower door did not have a handle on the inside they only had smoking rooms at my time of reserving and it was a heavily smoked in room. Fridge did not get adequately cold.

This place is a DIVE!! The room I had was NOTHING like the pictures. As well, these guys HAD to have posted fake positive reviews, because there is no way this place is anything but a 2 or less. And it wasn't even that inexpensive!! The room was absolutley disgusting. Full of flies, paint peeling off walls, 50 year old paneling. The bathroom was as small as an RV, and the shower had mold all over the door tracks. The grounds are grimy, and unappealing. And my door literally faced the highway about 50 ft away, so it was noisy all night. They ought to take a dozer to this dump. Nothing personal, the woman that checked me in was quite pleasant. But this motel is dilapidated and should be avoided.
