im picky about motels but this one has 0 bugs and is clean. the manager and his family are very nice and polite to the people who stay here. its rare to find a motel good like this in california. my only complaint is the water pressure is low but thats usually california guidelines.
Rates are good as advertised. Rooms were actually impressively clean, especially for a motel. (Ive been to plenty). No bugs at all, towels are ok smelling but clean. Good location. I would stay here again only problem is the rooms are a bit small.
I am a local resident of the area and needed a place to stay for a week. First let me say the new owner of the Budget Inn has been upgrading and refurbishing all rooms and outside grounds. Also the new managers Santos and wife are extremely gracious and pleasant to deal with. The rates are competitive and reasonably low. They offer an awesome weekly rate as well. Rooms are very clean and have NO bugs and or bed bugs either (I am an Accountant @ a Hotel across from Disneyland and know what to look for in cleanliness). There are very few amenities they offer free Wi-Fi, free Cable TV, daily room service to clean room, outside ice machine, soda machine, and microwaves to cook your food and or warm up water for your coffee this allowing the Inn to maintain their low daily and or weekly rates!!! The Inn is a very quite place to stay and is centrally located to LAX, South Bay Galleria, Starbucks is directly across the street from Inn, as well as Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo beaches are approximately 15mins away from the Inn making the Inn at very desirable place to stay without the high hotel Rates. So never judge a book by its cover!!!! When and if the need arises I would absolutely stay here again!!
the rooms are very small for a couple but I believe they know that already as per the sky painted sceiling. That detail really eleminates any cloustophobic feeling and makes the small room actually cozy. great price. staff is very nice as well.
I went to see my Daughter this hotel was right around the corner, I didn't like that they asked for a deposit though 20dlrs what's up with that.
Most decent motel I’ve been going to for a while now. Good service & price reasonable for me. Best motel
Nice find! Reasonable price for the comfort. Huge closet with fridge in room but microwave is outside and the ice machine takes two quarters. The room itself was clean and nice. Bed was comfortable enough. Parking is somewhat limited. Would stay again and do recommend.
Budget Inn was really nice and my room was Beautiful and clean. I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures maybe next time
People are friendly ok room for being a old hotel. Definitely no luxury there But it serve the purpose. Paid about 120. For the night
This hotel is no frills, no gimmicks, clean, comfortable and a great option if you just need someplace to lay your head for a few nights! Management is very kind and attentive. I'd come back!
