The price was more than fair and the room is exceptionally clean. I've went to other motels with the same prices and unfortunately had to sleep in my car because it was dirty and smelly. Whenever I'm in Columbus I'll be sure to stay at the Budget Inn and talk to Harry the manager who makes sure your stay is great.
Nothing was unlikeable.

I liked the ease of the check in process and how easy it is to renew the room for the night. Very close to the Highway (270). The room was clean, the heat worked very well, and the bed was comfy. I will be staying here next time I venture to Columbus!
The only thing that was mildly annoying is the hotel has this weird "no guest" policy. I assume this is to deter people from hiring "ladies of the night" (if you catch my drift). The only downside to this is I do not get to come home (Columbus) very often and I like to have guests over to spend time with. This policy deters that. But, it is my only complaint with the property.

The man upfront reminded me of my Italian grandma who owned her own motel for almost all my life. He wanted to make sure we were well taken care of and that we didn’t smoke in the room. I loved how stern he was about it, because my grandma was the same way :) rooms were very clean , and beds are comfy , safe location, and the maids are very sweet. Tip them well. They work hard :)
I loved everything !

Very clean, a big TV that worked, and comfortable beds that didn't sag in the middle.
I'm not saying this is a negative, it's just FYI. There is no breakfast; there is a coffee maker in the room, but there was only one serving of coffee.

Did not eat breakfast and the location was very good. The rooms are very clean, and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
The room was a bit small, but we were only staying the night. In that aspect, the room was just fine. Will look to stay there again when we are in the area again.

The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, the nice gentleman had our key and paperwork ready and waiting when we arrived. He also recommended some restaurants that were still open...we would absolutely stay here again!!

Basic room, but all we needed was a bed and shower. Room was clean and management was very friendly.
Close to the road, so you could hear the cars. Was not a big deal for us.

Management was VERY accommodating.! We had an open trailer with atv's and he helped us make sure it was secure and within the security camera's view. Facility was dated but very clean. Manager was helpful and seemed to be engaged with customers to ensure their stays were pleasant.
