The front staff was very rude and defensive, not to mention very unprofessional looking and speaking. The halls smelled of horrible smoke. The pool had so much chlorine in it, my son got asthma. We were woke up in the middle of the night by someone being thrown against the wall in the next room, yelling obsenities and screaming from... More

Not spectacular, but not bad for an older establishment. Employees were very pleasant. Swimming pool was very clean & well kept up!

I am a construction worker and travel all over the united states, and have stayed at alot of hotels and motels. This place was terrible, from plumbing issues to dirty sheets and dirty towels, along with bugs in the rooms. It was 31 degrees out and i turned on the heater and it blew out cold air. I asked the...

It isn't the Marriott, but for the price, it's a good place to stay for a night.

Not only has this place apparently never been updated but it doesnt matter if you request a smoking or nonsmoking room. The entire place smells like a dirty ashtray! The employees act like you are an imposition on their day. I travel extensively and this was by far the filthiest, most disgusting place I've ever stayed in. I would buy... More

I was with a group staying in Fort Dodge for a softball touny and was a little worried about this hotel after reading past reviews. It turned out to be an ok hotel. It was old but had been updated. The girls had fun in the pool which was big enough and deep enough for them to horse around in.... More

I stayed at this place as a last resort (all other hotels in town were full) Let me put it this way. Out of all the temporary lodging I've ever stayed in this was the worst - yes even worse than when I stayed a couple nights with the Marines in western Iraq and slept on a cot with my... More

We were very disappointed. This motel has not been updated since the day it was built (probably somewhere in the 1960's). The guts in toilet are the original ones and we had to work on it every time we flushed it. The Budget Host Inn website is very misleading. We expected an updated room with a continental breakfast. It's a... More
