Budget Inn Boise

The lady at front desk was rude. A witch

Staff was friendly and cared.

The power was out in half the room. None of the light switches worked and the hair dryer had no power. They said they would fix it while I was out but they did not. Also, ants swarmed my food even though it was still packaged. The towel had gross brown markings on it, hopefully it was just stained. The bathroom door wouldn't even shut because it hit the jamb instead. I had to put my full body weight into leveraging the room door far enough for the deadbolt to shut, which of course nearly trapped me in the room when it was time to leave. I also booked a non-smoking room only to have Budget Inn staff smoking right outside my door where the smoke came into my room.

To be honest, the motel is passable, but the owner's nastiness and dishonesty override any redeeming qualities of the motel itself.

The owner is a very rude, hostile woman. She demanded a $20 deposit when I checked in, and would not discuss how it would be returned. When I checked out, she again refused to discuss the return of my deposit. I ended up calling the police to see about the return of the deposit, but they allowed her to keep it, so basically, she stole my money. Avoid this place at all costs! I have traveled all over the U.S. and Canada, and have never before been treated this way.
