Budget Inn 401 Northeast Avenue, Columbus, KS 66725

"PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Bed Bugs are present at this hotel! Room 41. Requested non smoking room for our family. Cigarette burns in the carpet on the floor, incredibly musty smelling. Holes taped on the wall, stains in the furniture. Toilet had a hard time flushing, paint peeling, sink had been split in half, and was siliconed back together. Pulled back the sheets on the bed closest to the door and found a large black hair and yet another cigarette burn in the fitted sheet. Pulled it back a little farther, bed bug running for the cover of the sheets. Quickly snapped a picture then squished it. Verified by researching the bug in detail. Shaped as a apple seed, same markings. We packed up quickly and removed all our items. I brought the bug to the hotel manager and he argues with me saying it wasn’t a bed bug. I showed him the pic and he denied it again! He offered me another room, but we obviously had no interest in staying. He told me he wouldn’t refund the whole cost. We were literally there less than 20 min. They did end up refunding most of the cost. I would recommend going 30min to Pittsburg,KS and staying at a large chain hotel."

"Clean rooms. Bad locks on door. No top sheet. No wASh clothes. Got the top sheet ..was never able to get wash clothes"

"The owner here was kind enough to let me park my semi in his lot. It’s not easy to find parking as a semi driver when you are out of hours. He also greeted me in the morning. I would stay here just because of the hospitality."

"Very dirty. Needs renovated. Bathroom tiles being held up with scotch tape. Shower not very clean. No ventilation in bathroom. Steamed up quick. Cobweb in bathroom window. Lamp shades filthy. Stains on the comforters. Shelf in clothes hanging area disgustingly dirty. TV worked well. Mini fridge and microwave worked well. Heat and air worked too."
