I have traveled extensively throughout the world; and almost always choose the cheapest options available. It was this practice that landed me at Budget Motel in San Bruno, CA. I rented two rooms (a single for myself and a double for my crew). It was by far the absolute worst lodging experience of my entire life. The crew's room did... More

This place is kind of a dump. It looks like the property was convert from horse stables, or maybe industrial warehouse storage. The ceilings had a weird-ish 1950s asbestos looking tile, and the wall had what looked like....well let's just say, 'organic material' splat over the crooked and broken headboard. the only thing this place has going for it is...

Well if you just wish to have a place to crash for an early morning flight departure out of SFO then this place might work.The hotel premises give you the feeling that you're in a bad neighborhood which isn't really the case.The building is in need of a paintjob....badly. The blankets hadn't been washed in a while yet the bedsheets... More

Run by what looks like a nice Indian family. Anyway, my wife said the lady at the front desk was nice. The location is good for the SF airport, which is nice for travelers who just need to be near for a 6:00 am flight, as we were. But we had two kids with us and had planned on placing... More

Comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, and ROACHES. I encountered 5 or 6 in the hour that I spent awake in this room, and it was still daylight. My husband went to the front desk to alert management to the situation (no demands or accusations, truly just to let them know), and he was told "That's impossible, we spray every month." So... More

The rooms were absolutely disgusting and falling apart. There was mold growing on the walls of the closet. There were spiders behind the nightstand. The heater looked like it had possibly caught fire at some point cuz the metal was all melted/distorted. The room reeked of smoke (we requested non-smoking), and NONE of the windows opened. The toilet was literally... More

Interesting stay with no safety issues encountered that I've read in other reviews. This older style motel offered a spacious room and had a high vaulted ceiling with a number of storage spots, some out of reach. VERY large bathroom/hallway, but room could use some new paint, furniture - and a little more cleanliness, bigger refrigerator, etc. But, the decor,... More
