Best Budget Inn, Joliet

Was looking for a good price on a hotel for a weekly stay. When you first walk into the lobby, it appears to be a fairly decent hotel. I booked a room for a week, proceeded to drive around the back and it felt like I had taken a wrong turn and ended up in an inner city project. Was greeted at my sections entrance by a loose german shepard dog. Beer bottles and other random garbage was scattered around the curb. A glass window in the hallway had been broken without repair. I got to the room finally and it was filthy, very small, stinky, unclean, and I could hear peoples TVs from at least 3 rooms away. I immediately went to the front desk to check out, they proceeded to show me one of the new "renovated" rooms. It was the same as all the other rooms except for the brighter lighting. Maybe if you are young and looking for a cheap place to throw a drunken party with friends, this could be for you. Otherwise, stay away.

The personal were nice but the overall experience was awful. There was no hot water to shower. The rooms were dirty and in need of severe service. I was biten by a spider on the bed. There were cob webs all around the room.
