I enjoyed my stay at the Budgetel in Scottsboro. It was easy to get to and the room was very nicely remodeled. Everything was very clean, including the lobby. There is no breakfast so keep that in mind but there is coffee in the rooms. The man at the desk was very friendly and helpful even when I had to get him up very early to let me back into my room because I had left the key on the table, closed the door behind me to leave and realized I had left something in the room. The hotel is right off a busy divided highway on a frontage road so you can definitely hear the traffic at night and early in the morning. There is a Ruby Tuesday, Chick-Fil-A and a cafe in short walking distance on the frontage road. There are other restaurants across the divided highway but I would suggest a car to get there and don't attempt to walk. The air conditioner was quite noisy but I was able to sleep through it. The price was amazing and Scottsboro is adorable. I wish I hadn't just been passing through and had more time to explore. I would stay here again.

Cleaning

We had an issue with our first room and the management moved us to a new room and the difference was almost night and day. However, the cleaning was very minimal and it showed. They basically only made the bed, changed towels and replenished soap, shampoo, and coffee some days. They never swept, mopped or vacuumed and didn't clean the toilet.

The rooms are filthy, I was supposed to be in a non-smoking room and it smelled like a smoker had just recently been in it. I had to go buy Febreze to make the room tolerable. Not to mention that the sink didn’t work. I would say, what do you expect for the money but the Motel 6 nearby is much cleaner and not any more expensive. The condition of the property is just the owners milking every penny they can get out of it without putting anything back in.

Disappointed

The hotel was older but looked to be remodeled. The biggest issue we had was that we booked it because it had a pool and we went for the 4th of July weekend. However, the pool was closed/broken/whatever. We were extremely disappointed. Also, the coffee pot had old, used coffee still in it and there were empty water bottles in the room. It really made me question the cleanliness of the room.
