Budget Travelers Inn - Motel in Fort Dodge - 300 1st Ave S, USA

Not a bad place to stay. Easy to get to, quiet, did have free wi-fi but not accessible my last stay.Found used needle in rr, along with broken glass. They switched my room, after accusing ME of doing it! I should stipulate, however, that it is run by a family, all of whom are really friendly and professional, except for, I believe the oldest son. May have just been a bad day.He was the one originally blaming me for needles, and was less than helpful when trying to access internet. Best bet is to check in late afternoon when Mom is working. Really super pleasant lady! For the money, was o.k. stay. Cable TV, fridge, micro in room, cold air, and delivery from several restaurants are really short waits. I stay there about 2-4 nights every 6 weeks.

It’s actually not bad considering it could be worse. Lots of people here and glad to see it that way. Friendly staff and also now the building is secure from the outside I’m happy to see more people come through. Plus adding the new key cards for the doors is a plus!! The prices are low so come on and rent a room or so.

The owners are very nice and the rooms are very affordable and I have had an overall good experience the photos below or the condition of the room when I came in because I’ve been a housekeeper and a maintenance person this is something I do in every hotel room I go in and pull out the air conditioner filter because out of most motels that is the most overlooked cleaning task Because I have OCD and allergies these are things I check definitely worth the price for a night especially if you’ve been sleeping in your car and all you want is a hot shower and a bed to sleep in These rooms are perfect

There good and bad things about this motel Ill start with the good so I don't scare people with the bad. The good side of this motel is cheap weekly rates of $265 (not bad if your a journeyman and travel with your family for work) also they have kitchenettes so it comes with cabinets sink and stove/oven so you can cook instead of go out to eat (way to expensive). Another good thing is the rooms are fairly large and they also have king size beds (though I do warn you they are a bit old low to the ground and a fairly uncomfortable to sleep in). Know onto the bad of this motel first off I recommend that anybody staying here please don't bring young children why I say that is because the stairs a hazard they have gaps (which a small child can fall threw) also the motel is located more or less in the ghetto side of town which is fairly iffy. Another scary factor is its located right across the street from a correction center where all the "bad boys go". And the outside of the motel is very old rusted and dilapidated (I wouldn't trust the balcony's). The inside is older the elevator is jumpy slow and very old, inside the room the bathroom has a bad paint job also another bad thing about the bathroom is that the walls are COVERED in mold (inside the wall of course not on the outside) how I know this is because the bathroom walls RUN with water theres water stains running down the walls (I lived in a house that had black mold the walls did that same exact thing) also the toilet leaks water and barely flushes so you always need a towel at the bottom of the toilet where you place your feet and you always have to hold the lever of the toilet to make it flush correctly (I also recommend wearing house shoes or sandals so your feet don't get wet with toilet water) another nasty thing is it looks like they don't clean there carpets your socks turn BLACK. Also the housekeeping is very poor they hardly ever come to clean the rooms change towels vacuum etc. I recommend going somewhere were there is a lot bet service clean not in the ghetto and doesn't have mold. Thanks

Absolutely the worst place I have ever been to.. 2 hours after checking on.. the hotel kicked us out without reason and no refund. Very embarrassing for my family.. DO NOT STAY HERE

If you're looking for friendly courteous service from a caring staff, and a clean place to lay your head, don't bother going there, you'll find neither.

It was a really ghetto hotel , not so nice , very old .... I stayed for a few days but at the end of the day it's not soo bad and it's very cheap .

I love the lady there she's very nice and has manors.
