Everyone I met at the desk was polite and helpful. A lot of construction going on, on the property & in the area, so it was a mess. No ice at present, very inconvenient for a traveler. Nice people, just a rough time for them.

Worst hotel to stay. Don’t stay here. Beware. 0 star. There was strong paint smell as looks like it was recently painted. We had room backside and bright light was going thru blind. Water pressure in shower was extremely slow. No option to lock the door inside bathroom. Number of towels only and smelly. Felt like a junk place. Floor was came out. I wish I could have chosen another hotel.

I understand Chattanooga's Budgetel is a work in progress. I appreciate what work has been done. The best parts of my stay was the comfy bed, the larger refrigerator, quiet neighbors, convenience to food and shopping, the airport, and I-75. What I feel needs improvement is access to the main office/coffee/ice without driving through the gate and then having to drive all the way around the facility. Maybe there is a way and I just couldn't figure it out. Perhaps a map in the room? I was in Room 1106. Saturday morning I found a water leak dripping into the bathtub. It came from another room and when the person finished the shower, the leaking stopped. Pieces of the ceiling fell into the tub. Also, the piece of furniture that supports the TV and the microwave is wobbly. I was afraid the TV was going to fall over everytime I bumped or leaned on the piece.

Nothing at all worst hotel experience I've ever had. Unprofessional no management at all housekeepers entering room unannounced without permission. No cable nothing works nothing but problems from the staff who are completely out of line. Never will I stay her or recommend anyone to be ripped off by this awful place.

Very friendly staff. Looking for a little revenue while they decide whether to renovate or demolish hotel- IMHO. Spartan room, Neighbor smoked outside, drifted in to my room through the cracks around the door. I’d probably stay over on the other side of the freeway next time.

We got there at 9 pm to a very armed security guard and locking barbwire fences. That said you could only have visitors from 9 am-7pm. I am not going to stay somewhere where I am treated like a prison. I drove off, and found another room. Very unsafe feeling

The room was partially renovated but not finished. Not clean. No room service. When I wanted clean towels, I had to bring my dirty towels to the office to have them replaced. Staff told me I had to take my trash to the dumpster, and the trash can was extremely small. Don’t stay here if you want relaxation and comfort.

Very accommodating GM. Security 24/7 so you feel safe in a not so great area. Very cheap rates with free wifi and clean rooms. I will definitely be back here once I come back down to Florida. I traveled from FL to IA. Made it safe thanks to Budgetel!

Caution...roaches.
This was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever been to. There was alive and dead roaches in our room. Septic tanks laying around outside. No access to our rooms without employee to unlock our room. Bed frame look liked it was made from part of a frame from air conditioners. Trash overflowing dumpsters. We didn’t stay. I have little ones. We left immediately. The only good thing was the lady behind the desk. She did not belong in that place. She was way too clean and neat to be there. Very nice lady. My money was refunded. Here is a couple of pictures. We left the room so quickly I didn’t get pictures of the roaches or the bed.

HOTEL HELL
Tv didn't work and nobody did anything about it. Nothing in room but tv, bed,night stands and 1 chair Toilet rocked and seat had only 1 screw and it was loose Floors were so sticky that we had to wear shoes the whole time and they'd actually stick to the floor and on the last day ( we checked out a day early) water flooded through to our room from next door. People were rude and wouldn't help I even asked housekeeping for her mop to mop the floors in our room and she refused. Worst place I have ever been at And I'm 63 years old. AWFUL PLACE AND PEOPLE

Unpleasent experience
Would not stay again!! Stayed for 4 days checked in Sunday 8/18 checked out Thursday 8/22 . Room was not cleaned once the entire time we were there. Beds were not changed garbage was not emptied . Offered more towels and toilet paper once in the entire time there. Was advertised as having 4 beds only to find out they meant 2 double beds would sleep 4 people.very misleading. Pool was advertised but certainly could not use it. Patio door was broken and had to really struggle to open and close it. Place was not fully cleaned before our stay. See the pictures attached of the pool. If you are going to advertise or say something is a perk you need to have that available. Very disappointed only stayed as we had no other option after driving 12 hours.

I never got checked in. I got there after 11 no one would come check me in. Although it stated check in is from 3pm to 6am. The guard there called and told them i was there and what reservation stated but their reply is come back in the morning. I had moved all day had a tired child and that was not what i would have expected or wanted to hear. I went somewhere else for the night and then for the rest of my stay also. I also was told by a guest that night they were using screw drivers to open the doors for guest. Its the only hotel on that small road that has large tall fencing around it like a compound sure safety is of upmost importance but right next to it is a big nice fairfields marriot. And it didnt seem to be surrounded in a fence. Anyways that was my experience i dont know about anything there but what i seen and was told.
