Budget Inn

No issues, is an old Motel, but we had no problems there. We were in Ballinger to look at a House to buy. And decided to stay the night in Ballinger. We would stay there again, if we buy the House we looked at. We are leaning towards Ballinger, Texas as our location.

The rooms have been redone, nice big bed with comfortable linens and plenty of covers so you stay warm. New carpet as well. Has an ac mounted, w a remote so the room stays at a good temperature.|The bathroom is a bit small, there's no vanity so getting ready can be a juggling challenge but there's a huge mirror by the bed that can be used instead. |The front staff are friendly and easy to work with as well.

The man behind the counter was nice enough and the location was in the town where I needed to be at the moment, but that's where the good things stop. The room smelled of old cigarette smoke, the carpet was stained everywhere, the furniture was worn and didn't match, there were roaches and mice droppings in the room and somebody else's hair other than mine was in the bed when I pulled back the blankets to lay down. Needless to say, I slept with my clothes on and only stayed long enough to sleep 6 hours and leave. This used to be a decent hotel when I lived in this town over 20 years ago, but it's most definitely seen it's better days. Oh, and don't even think about asking for a refund because there's signs all over the office that claims "NO REFUNDS".

Cockroaches, nats all over the room. Carpet stained beyond cleaning. Slept ok after getting over bugs in the room. Couldn't get the TV to work. Not worth the money we paid.

This is the cheapest place in town but it should be cheaper. Both bedsheets were full of hair with very odd stains. The rooms were relatively clean with a bit of an odd smell but not too bad. Ice doesn't work, forget about breakfast. Bring your own shampoo. What is provided is the smallest amount of shampoo I've ever seen. Staff is not friendly. The only positives were the water pressure and that the TV and AC worked. Ok for a hunting/fishing trip but plan to sleep on sleeping bags on top of the bed. No woman in my household would stay here.
