I am a construction worker and travel all over the united states, and have stayed at alot of hotels and motels. This place was terrible, from plumbing issues to dirty sheets and dirty towels, along with bugs in the rooms. It was 31 degrees out and i turned on the heater and it blew out cold air. I asked the...

It isn't the Marriott, but for the price, it's a good place to stay for a night.

Not only has this place apparently never been updated but it doesnt matter if you request a smoking or nonsmoking room. The entire place smells like a dirty ashtray! The employees act like you are an imposition on their day. I travel extensively and this was by far the filthiest, most disgusting place I've ever stayed in. I would buy... More

Went back to Ft Dodge for our Grandaughters graduation and stayed at the Budget Host Inn for 10 days. We found the staff very accommodating and the service was excellant. The rooms were clean and roomy. Used the swimming pool a lot and it was clean and a comfortable temperature.We would recommand this to any of our friends or family.

I was with a group staying in Fort Dodge for a softball touny and was a little worried about this hotel after reading past reviews. It turned out to be an ok hotel. It was old but had been updated. The girls had fun in the pool which was big enough and deep enough for them to horse around in.... More

I stayed at this place as a last resort (all other hotels in town were full) Let me put it this way. Out of all the temporary lodging I've ever stayed in this was the worst - yes even worse than when I stayed a couple nights with the Marines in western Iraq and slept on a cot with my... More

We were very disappointed. This motel has not been updated since the day it was built (probably somewhere in the 1960's). The guts in toilet are the original ones and we had to work on it every time we flushed it. The Budget Host Inn website is very misleading. We expected an updated room with a continental breakfast. It's a... More

BY FAR the worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed at. Many, many problems.... a friend of mine in the room next door found woodchips inside the sheets. In my room, the toilet overflowed for no apparent reason. The plumber came to fix it in our nonsmoking room at 11pm, smoking a cigar. The shower did not function correctly; instead, cold... More

This place was a complete joke. I payed $100 for a jacuzzi suite. The room was no bigger than a normal room. The king size bed was as hard as a rock. Their dehumidifier was left on when we got there so it was so dry my husband got a nose bleed. The shower was dirty and everytime I called... More

I have stayed here many times. The first few it was great. Nice and clean... good price... but the last 2 times it has had bugs... mold in the shower on the walls. The sheets were dirty. The toilet hadn't been cleaned in months. Makes me wonder if the staff isn't slacking off or maybe a new staff has been... More
