My wife and I stayed in the Budget Suites on N. Rancho for a few weeks while our house was being finished. Upon booking a room over the phone, it seemed affordable and tolerable as we were only there a few weeks. This notion changed when we got there. The room was filthy, smelly and had a mattress that must have been 15 years old on it. The couch was just a few pieces of wood with ripped up fabric on it. The A/C was cold, and the T.V station lineup was OK, but that's about it.
The staff was outrageously rude and extremely unprofessional. I was greeted with attitude, often ignored and spoken to as if I was an idiot (while the "manager" was sitting there. If that wasn't enough, at any point in the day, there were unsupervised children all over the place, 1/2 naked people walking around, prostitutes at night, drugs and drug dealers and lots of domestic disputes.
The base rate was $39.00/night plus a surcharge plus other fees so it wound up being closer to $60.00/night when it was all said and done. No refunds and prepare to dish out big $ your first night there for cleaning (which isn't done) and other misc. fees.
