The owners are so sweet and friendly! They really make you feel welcome. The rooms are clean and they do everything themselves. The location is perfect to all the casinos, concert venues, and eateries. Can't beat the price, cleanliness and location.
I always enjoy my stay at the Budget Inn, owner/front desk personnel very accommodating and helpful. Very much enjoy the peace and quiet of this establishment, away from So Lake Tahoe Blvd.

The motel is old and a bit dated. However, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. The managers were very friendly and helpful. We just needed a place to sleep at a reasonable price since we weren’t in the room except to sleep.

Access and location were top notch. You get what pay for in amenities. Recommend staying here, just pack your own towels.
Great budget hotel! Clean, comfortable and managers (owners?) were very friendly and accommodating. Walkable to shops, restaurants, casinos and the lake. I would stay here again.
I stayed here while in a hiking trip for Van Sickle Park. The location was a shirt wlk away fron the park entrance making it ideal. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. There is a Mexican restaurant just around the corner but plenty of food options are within walking distance. I ended up extending my stay by an extra day (decided midway through the first day) and the staff made it easy, although this was off season so they had availability. I had an issue with the microwave malfunctioning and beeping during my stay but I was told to just unplug it and that solved the issue. Again the staff was very helpful and easy to work with. The room was quiet, with the exception of some noisy neighbors during their unloading. I will definitely book here again in the future and highly recommend it for the reasonably priced rooms as well as everything else I’ve listed.
Fantastic spot to stay. Great owners and quality rooms and close to everything in town. Definitely will be staying here again. Quality motel with a hotel feel inside the rooms. Great value.
