Let me start by saying that I do not usually stay at hotels/motels like this. So this review may be a bit biased. Stayed here to break up a long drive. Not much of anything to do in Bethany the night we stayed there. Hotel is old and lacks in cleanliness. Kind of smelled like a nursing home. Bright red... More

For this price we weren't expecting much but read the other reviews so we took a chance. This is a one floor motel looking place. The outside didn't look like much but inside our room looked pretty darn new. Nice new floors, fixtures, counters in bathroom. Good furniture, good bed and the room was super clean. Hallways looked older and... More

Thanks for the review and taking a chance with us based on other reviewers comments. You are right, still need some outside landscaping and to finish interior hall and lobby remodeling. This is a small family owned business and they only update as they can afford it. We are glad you noticed and appreciated the recent updates, and most of... More

While traveling back home we were looking for a place to stay en route. My GPS showed a number of places near Kansas City that turned out to rather expensive, so I looked for something farther from a city. Bethany was along our route. I called the Family Budget Inn to ask what sort of place it is. They told... More

We stopped here on our way down to Arkansas and were pleasantly surprised by the clean and spacious room for a really good price! It was quiet and had a good breakfast. We will definitely stay here again!

We needed a place half way between Northern Illinois and our Kansas destination. It was a great place to get a good night's rest. It was very basic, but very clean; it even smelled fresh! I would stay here again if passing through. The breakfast is super basic, but again the cleanliness helps you feel good about it.

It was January 2, 2012 and I had received a call that my sister was critically ill in Springfield, Mo. I was traveling alone and it was getting dark so I stopped for the night. The first motel I stopped at was too expensive so I saw the sign for Family Budget. I didn't even ask to see the room... More

I stopped here when traveling through on my way to Arizona. I was very happy when I got to the room and saw how clean it was. I needed a place to sleep and shower and it was more than adequate.

No doubt that our room was clean and the price was right. The FBI is very basic. For example, the soap label actually reads "For Bath and Hair". Really! So don't bother looking for shampoo. Breakfast was very 'continental'. That's OK for the price. The hall smelled somewhat musty. But the room was definitely clean and comfortable.
