Budget Inn of America, New Martinsville

i liked that it was easy to find, but then your in a small town. everything was easy to find. thats about all the good i can say. it smelled bad as soon as you steped into the lobby. was run by foreigners who were very nice. the room was small the bed was full size maybe. the matress and box spring was hard as a rock and stained. i slept on top of the bedspread. am glad i had my own pillow and blankey which i promptley washed as soon as i got home. the bathroom was filthy and way to small. the tub was caulked and moldy the water sprayed everywhere out of the faucet and the showerhead was leaky as well. i will never stay there again.

I've stayed here for the last 4 or 5 years, always at the end of July. The building is old and has its scars; for example, you may see where the tub was caulked where it meets the wall. It's not a perfect bead, but the water goes where it's supposed to. When I take a shower, it's like being hit with a fire hose. The water pressure is high and the water is hot. I've always been given air conditioning, a double bed, TV, clock, and when I need one, a refridgerator. The curtains maybe a bit tattered and the carpeting is old, but they have been washed or vacuumed. You may find the door is a bit thin, but there is a dead bolt inside. Getting in requires a key, no magnetic card, or big block of metal on the outside and inside with a latch that resounds with a clunk. People from West Virginia are honest to a fault. That's not to say there are no theives about, but New Martinsville is a safe community. You're about a 10 minute walk from a church or two, and a (super?) WalMart in case you've forgotten something or you want to have some pictures done. The downtown area is about a 10 minute drive south where you'll find 3 restaurants run by individuals, not gigantic corporations. One of these has a bar downstairs. If you want the common glop, drive north about 10 minutes to find these. This inn is run by a friendly family and you're liable to walk into the lobby and find yourself dodging a child or two. I'll be heading there in a day or two, and they have been most accomodating to hold a room for me during a very busy week on a very short request. In summary, the Budget Inn might be described as a Lonely Plant accomodation with basic amenities at a very reasonable price.

We stayed there for 2 nights. We had a great experience and very friendly service. If ever in the area I would definitely consider staying there again. I would recommend it to family and friends.

This hotel was filthy, very unkept, rooms and bathrooms very small and poor lighting. Had a foul smell which intensified when the heat was turned on. Slept on top of the bedspread with my coat on. And the TV didn't work either.

the rooms are 70's stlye. its old , rundown and dirty
