Reviews for Affordable Inn
Review 1：Tv not the best/color not good. Big complaint: They charged me anextra 30.00 for my dog who is much better behaved than many children. Ishould have called and asked what they would charge. I didn'T. Myfault. The location was adjacent to a Taco Bell. There was the smell ofgarbage outside/not the motel's fault. No smell in room/Theprice did not include taxes which were quite a bit. I won't use thissite to book again because of these things. The non inclusive hiddencost of the taxes and too much money for the dog.
Review 2：Clean room; desk people were nice. Very plain but suitable for me and mydog. Safe place behind the motel to walk dog. Next to a fire stationwhich made me comfortable.
Review 3：I had to deposit $20 cash and owner had to conduct final inspection when we checked out at 5 am. 1 old queen size bed, probably over 10 years old. No clothes hangers. Dual purpose hot/cold unit was super noisy. Lighting was very poor and dimmed like. It was 3 low class, 3rd world atmosphere, customer service. I would never use this establishment again.
Review 4：Location
Review 5：My husband wouldn't even stay there because it looked so bad. The door to our room wouldn't even lock. We had to drive 30 miles away and pay $180 to stay at another hotel.
Review 6：Couldn't understand owner to check in, terrible location, police sirens constant, mirrors were smeared with make up or who knows, bath vent didn't work and was very loud, bed sound like fall apart when just Sat on it. Not to mention housekeeping knocked bout noon didn't offer towels or anything but did advise me they were doing room check for smoking she barged in went thru my trash moved my belongings to do a search. I paid for 2days and privacy has never been issue at any hotel but this. I will NEVER stay there again.
Review 7：Nice large fridge New air conditioning worked great shower head was great
Review 8：The bed was not made on a three day stay additional charges. later refunded. I resent not being trusted . The room was old the water facets reversed hot on cold side. no fire alarms I would never recomend you site.
Review 9：Nothing
Review 10：the room was so dated & worn out. They had no coffee maker in room, the room smelled like it was covered up with some sort of disinfectant. I may have not read the small print but got charged 30 dollars more when I got there because I had 2 dogs. Plus the floor squeaks were so unbearable, I feel for the lower unit. Also there was remnants from someone throwing up in the sink. GROSS!
Review 11：I really didn't like the place because it was used for extended stay ppl that were smoking all around the property
Review 12：This place had lots of permanent residents that were not the safest people, they would dug in the ashtray outside our room for cigarette butts. We were changed an extra $20.00 cash when we arrived for a room deposit, the next morning when we went to check out the desk clerk came to our room to inspect it so we could get our $20.00 back. He moved all the furniture and tore apart the bed looking for any damage we had done. He couldn't find any so grudgingly returned our money. The room itself was awful to a point where the sink was falling apart, the floors had week spots where you thought you would fall through, on top of that the parking lot was so small we were worried that someone would hit our car if they came through. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone pay the extra money to go elsewhere because it will cost you the same in the end. If he find a speck of dirty on a filthy floor and charged you for it. That's why he wants cash
Review 13：The price
Review 14：Staff was very friendly, very accommodating . The day we arrived it was very HOT and the room was the perfect temp, nice and cool. A bit out dated but Very clean!
Review 15：Wifi flicked in and out, more often out not on Staff not very helpful and room was less than clean Did not appreciate evening when facility was at capacity so staff locked office before official end time
Review 16：The room was very warm (no working a/c control); reserved a queen (1 bed) room, but got a room with 2 double beds. Apparently we were only supposed to use 1 of the beds, and had to pay extra upon checkout because both beds had been used. ???
Review 17：Not very comfortable bed or accomodation. But given the cost, I wasn't expecting anything fantastic.
Review 18：Cost was great, and location was good for my event. And I Was able to get a nearly last minute reservation.
Review 19：Still waiting for the refund of an extra deposit to ensure we wouldn't smoke in our room. Many people living at this motel. No breakfast.
Review 20：Price was nice.
Review 21：The staff was fine, though the manager wasn't always easy to understand. The motel seems sort of sketchy, with some interesting characters living there. I wouldn't wander around in the dark.
Review 22：The room itself was fine, though a bit rough. The location was nice, with easy access to many places.
Review 23：The owner barely spoke English. He was rude. The facilities were filthy. When we left, they called us and accused us of steeling a pillow, which they were going to charge me $30 for. When I said we were coming back to clear this up, they suddenly said they found the pillow. A SCAM!!! Bad news place. I wish booking.com would remove this place from the list. Worst hotel experience of my life.
Review 24：had to climb outdoor stairs to get to room. Could hear noise not only from other rooms, but also from the street. Bathroom was clean but need updates.
Review 25：staff spoke very broken English- very difficult to understand and an abrasive attitude.. Insisted on making and keeping a copy of my drivers license which I demanded be returned to me.
Review 26：The people above us where partying all night. Loud and stomping around. Barely slept. Every time I walked outside alone id get whistled at and hit on by other people staying there.
Review 27：Room was clean and tidy.
Review 28：the room was small. Chain lock broken. the curtain was horrible wouldn't close and had to pull the curtain apart for one panel was melted into itself. The shower curtain had cuts all over it.
Review 29：location wasn't too bad
Review 30：Staff didn't know about my reservation at first. Glad I made a copy. Room was cramped, bed, dresser, microwave, small fridge, TV and bathroom only, no extra space. Mustache hairs in bathroom faucet handle. Carpet so dirty & sticky feet got dirty needed to wear flip flops. Pillows couldn't be called pillows they were completely flat. Blanket, not quilt, was more like a piece of foam made into a blanket. Bed was hard. Couldn't lock the door on the inside, no lock. No bathroom door lock. Glad it was only for 1 nite.
Review 31：This motel is in the business end of town, near a 24 hour taco restaurant. It's the kind of place where people might rent by the week or month and sit outside talking to each other for half the night. It's definitely not a place you seek out.
Review 32：This is a low cost hotel with clean rooms, good mattresses and a strong shower with lots of hot water. It's not far off the main road. We didn't even start looking for a hotel until 6:00 pm for the same night, and it had availability, which is an important consideration!

Review 34：Room smelt slightly musty. Looked over business.

Review 77：I recommend calling the Motel themselves. Their rates are a lot less.
Review 78：Locarion
Review 79：I didn't like the fact that I was just there to exchange a dog and I was gone stay for a couple of hours then get back on the road then got denied of service. Them later om received an email stating that I didn't show up and I did and getting charged the fee
Review 80：clean... yeah well... not really. I walked barefeet on the carpet which is sticky, not going a marathon or so but I had BLACK soles. And sticky. Everything else was fairly clean though. They don't have a baby crib, however if they did, I don't want to know how sticky that would be.
Review 81：The room is spacey enough, the same goes for the bathroom.
Review 82：Like alot of motels these days they have folks that live there and most were good but there were some that might scare folks away.
Review 83：Staff was great, very helpful and friendly at all times. Over all experience was good and people staying at motel were for most part really nice. Would I stay there again, Yes. But book ahead on here to get best price.
Review 84：There was a drug deal right outside. The place was supposed to be non smoking and smelled like cigars and pig poop. No Wi-Fi as promised, filthy, toilet did not work. Horrible bed. Dirty shower. And when you shut off the light the tv went off. There was rain coming in under the door because the door had a huge gap at the bottom. Never Again.
Review 85：It wasn't bad, but I suspect the upper floor might be a bit quieter. We were on the ground floor and the floor above was a bit squeaky. We couldn't get water out of the bathroom sink. But the shower was good and lots of hot water. I think the window latch needed a little work.
Review 86：It was clean. The staff were helpful. The bed was comfortable. Can't beat the price. Yes, it does appear that people live there, but everyone was friendly and I had no qualms about staying there. Not something you can say about some Motel6 and other budget locations. The wifi also worked well. We were surprised to find a frig and microwave. It's a good deal.
Review 87：The blankets had stains on them the bathroom sink overflowed after running for 2 mins and although the door locked we realized all u had to do was push it open
Review 88：The price was very cheap including a room with 2 beds
Review 89：My room was clean, but the lady in the adjacent room complained of bedbugs and she had the bites to prove it. Also, I made my reservations and later changed them to a day earlier arrival and the staff had a terrible time figuring out what happened and I was worried that they were going to charge me an extra day. They even called my cell phone and when I told them I had already checked it, they then called the room phone. OMG! And the last thing, I know the motel can't screen their clientele, but I felt like most people were living there and they looked kind of scary to me...
