"Expedia listed the stay at $72 after all fees. I was charged an extra $9 for booking fee at check-in. This isn’t the reason for poor ratings. Rated poorly due to the terrible bed, bathroom and poor condition of the room overall. I’d suggest skipping the Budget Inn of Long Prairie,MN."

"I have stayed at this facility before and I am always please with how accommodating they are, how friendly the staff is and the rooms are clean, comfortable and they seem to always go a little over and above to make my stay better whether it is upgrading my room if they can, allowing me to check in a little bit early so I don't have to sit and wait in my car, and allowing for late checkouts at last minute or in one case having to book an extra night due to a snow storm. I have been very happy...
