Not a 8 score hotel as indicated on Hotel.com

The sheets smelled clean, but were very dingy looking (brown/yellow in color, supposed to be white).

I am a senior citizen, almost 74 years old. I made a reservation several weeks before my stay. When I arrived I asked to be put on the 1st floor and told the desk that I am an old man and didn’t want to hurt myself lugging everything upstairs. There is no elevator. I even took off my Vietnam Veterans hat so he could see my gray hair. He vehemently refused. My vehicle was the only one at that end of the building, which had 5 rooms on each floor. I consider that very bad service and will never stay there again

Booked a one night stay. Budget Inn Lake Wales is located in a quiet area. Gentleman at the front desk was very polite and helpful. This is an older, smaller (20 room?) hotel. Room 105 had been repainted/remodeled. The outlets next to the beds had USB outlets, which I find incredibly convenient. This Budget Inn was much better than expected. There are may restaurants within a mile as well. I would stay here again.

It is an old hotel, but fairly newly remodeled on the inside--ceramic tile floors & shower, quartz counters. It was clean and a good value for the money. There is no lobby, just a check-in desk, not too much in the area. It met our needs as we were visiting friends and only needed a clean place to sleep at a reasonable price.

These people cancel my reservation, got rid of my room. Didn't have any hot water at all. The people next to me kept going in and out of their room Slamming their car door slamming the hotel doors in clicking lock doors all night on their car.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Do not book your stay here!!! The manager was so rude from the second we checked in. He stated AFTER swiping my credit card that there was no hot water. He made it clear the water would be cold. So I assumed I would take a cold shower. Woke up and there was zero water at all. Not able to even wash your hands. I went to the front office at 10:00 am the next day and it was locked with no one in there. I have spoke with the manager on the phone to get a refund and he refuses and hangs up on your on the phone. The bed sheets were not cleaned and the mini fridge did not work either. Floors were gross and this is in a very sketchy area. Do not take the chance. I have spoke with the manager on the phone multiple times now and he has not been helpful

Fairly recently renovated facility

The room was large and renovated with modern amenities. It was pretty clean and very sufficient for a one night stay. Cons: Had to ring a bell to get door unlocked to get into office to check in. Ice machine broken.

This is average. They've upgraded some of it and it's better than it obviously used to be. But for the price it's a good choice to use as a stop over for a night while traveling thru. Good enough for one or two nights
