http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/hid77264 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472139 Stayed just one night and moved to a different motel. This place looks all of the 50 years old that it is. Non smoking room had been smoked in, smelled of mold, no secutity locks on doors, very flat pillows, well worn sheets and cigarette burned blanket. Our bathroom lacked ventilation and was lit with no more than a single 40 watt bulb. A friend stayed in one of the "Few" renovated rooms, and although it was slightly better, the bedding was very poor. It is recently under new management, and they are trying hard, but the place really needs a total renovation to bring it up to minimum standards. Drive the additional miles if necessary to stay elsewhere. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472139 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472140 I spent a total of almost 5 weeks from May through August at this Inn off and on. It is under renovation and I stayed in one of the recently renovated non-smoking rooms, everything was just fine. After 10 pm each night I turned my tv down because I thought it was too loud. It was very quiet each night. I was provided with all the comforts of home. My room had cable tv, wireless internet, a microwave, a small fridge, a comfortable bed with clean sheets and pillowcases. I didn't have to go out to resteraunts for every meal. This Inn is under new management, I saw many improvements happening during my stay. Before long this Inn will be a great place to stay especially if you are in Barre over a period of time. Any needs I had in regards to my stay were handled in a timely manner and I can't say enough good things. The past conditions reported in some of these reviews have changed for the better and when the renovations are complete, this Inn will be a great place to stay where you won't have to refinance your home in order to afford to stay there. A big THANK YOU goes out to the Owners and Management of the Budget Inn for making my stay a comfortable one. I hope to come back someday. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472140 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472141 Though the staff was exemplary, the facilities leave a great deal to be desired. Peeling wallpaper, falling down roof held up by 2x4's, VERY noisy area, an audience for all comings and goings, no blinds on the window. In fact, the curtain that was up was so sheer, that if my wife wore it as a wrap-around, my sex life would improve significantly. The 24 hour lighting shining into my room from the outside made all night reading without waking my wife a very simple thing. The wireless internet connection provided was flaky and rarely actually worked. 1 bar out of 5 on my wireless monitor. Nice microwave and TV. I imagine this would be an ideal location to find,.... prostitutes and druges. although the police station being right next door made me feel safe enough to move my handgun to under my pillow rather than in my hand all night. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472141 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472142 There wasn't anything good about it! If you want to stay some place that is clean, quite and not scary....That is family type setting....Then Don't Stay There. Also take note of the other reviews that says it is nice place. Notice how they could not spell, that says written by kids...that do drugs and rent the rooms to party. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472142 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472143 The place has had a major face lift in the past year. Newly done rooms are very nice and clean. The staff is helpful, polite and pleasent to be around. I would highly recommend staying at the Budget to anyone. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472143 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472144 This was an OK hotel. You couldn't beat the price or the location. This is a perfect example of you get what you pay for. We weren't looking for the Ritz and we got pretty much what we expected. The service was great throughout our stay. And it does indeed look like they are renovating. Pros: Our room had some new bathroom fixtures, plenty of hot water, thermostat to control the heat, relatively new carpet and new AC and a good TV. The sheets & towels were clean and fresh. Bathroom & room were very clean. And they welcome pets! There were also NO strange or weird people hanging out in the parking lot like some of the reviews said. Cons: The room had no smoke/fire alarm, no secondary security lock, a poor mattress, and bedspread/blankets that needed replacement. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472144 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472145 I don't know how anyone could write a good review of this place. I am assuming those who did are the hotel staff because from beginning to end the experience was dreadful. No locks on the doors, the bathroom had not been cleaned, the floors were not vacummed, the non-smoking rooms had been smoked in, the fire detectors had been removed, no fire extinguishers, one of our own towels we brought was stolen, the staff we unapolegetic and unhelpful. You couldn't turn on the ac because of the smell, the wallpaper was dingy and peeling. I could go on...and on.... http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472145 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472146 This a nice place to stay @, it was my first time being in barre...just came in to see my old friends who moved up there....i had great experience with the staff.My room was actually in a perfect condition and the staff makes sure that they provide you with all the necessities you needed.No problems with cleanliness...it was a great experience as far as over all appearing is concerned.The best part is every thing is really close like store, bank and little fast food restaurants.I am impressed with the staff though. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472146 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472147 This place was filthy dirty. There was no lock on our door (and many others). Almost like a half-way house. When we arrived we looked and immediately changed our minds. Unsafe. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472147 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472148 this place was awful, the people coming and leaving were scary, they were just hanging around staring at you. They would say rude things when you walked out of the office from checking in. We didn't even go into the room, we checked in, went and got dinner then checked right out. Its just very shady. I guess you get what you pay for. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Budget_Inn/r472148
