Three of us stayed here for one night; on being greeted with our big bags the lady at check in moved us into a bigger room (for no extra charge) and was generally very helpful. The room was very clean, big and with a nice bathroom. We felt safe there but were dissapointed by the 'continental breakfast' which involved a... More

When I first saw the reviews for this motel property on the edge of downtown Phoenix I thought it must be shills stuffing the review boxes, trying to drum up business for the property, but after I checked in and spent a night, I now know that the reviews are likely genuine! This is a great place! Sure, there are... More

Single woman business traveler - scary neighborhood. I traveled alone and had an early flight out so I booked this place due to the good reviews and close to the airport. The reviews are correct as far as it is clean, has a nice staff, and a close drive to the airport. What I personally hated was that it is... More

I rarely stay at hotels this cheap, but was traveling alone and was enticed by the reviews. I suspect this property would be terrific for students on a shoestring budget. They would probably not object to its isolated location, with minimal pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Ditto the spartan decor and lack of warmth. I found it institution-like. What I found... More

This was a well maintained lodge that was within walking distance to the Comerica Center where our concert was. It was close to downtown as well. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the hallways were quiet at night. Water pressure in the showers were fine. Overall, it is a great place to stay at a really great... More

Upon entering the hotel lobby, the delicious smell of Indian food delivers a delicious scent to the olfactory nerves in your nose. When you enter the room you're quick to turn on the A/C unit and test out the bed. You notice the fridge has been turned to its lowest setting to conserve energy and make the appropriate adjustments to... More

Looking for somewhere inexpensive and convenient to the airport to sleep after a late night arrival and plans to leave early for Sedona the next morning. The Budget Lodge fit the bill, and was clean, comfortable, and convenient. Rooms were secure, but rear parking lot was dark, and I was a little concerned about heading out there late at night,...

The Lodge is located in the old Downtown of Phoenix- Theater's and Restaurants, Nightlife and even the Tramway is in walking distance. The Room was very clean and quiet. A very warm welcome from the owner, who realy cares for his guests. Just stayed two nights- next Time again!
