I recently had the pleasure of staying at Budgetel Inn South in Glens Falls, NY, and it exceeded all my expectations. The service provided by the staff was exceptional from the moment I checked in until my departure. The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The amenities offered, such as complimentary Wi-Fi and parking, added great value to my stay. The location was convenient, with easy access to local attractions and dining options. There commitment to cleanliness and safety measures was evident throughout my visit, making me feel secure and at ease. Overall, my experience at Budgetel Inn South was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Glens Falls.

I lodged at the Budgetel Inn from July through August while on a work detail. I had an excellent experience during my stay. The room was clean upon arrival, and the manager David was very accommodating, friendly and resourceful. The weekly rate for lodging was more than reasonable. If you are travelling and seeking a place to stay, then I strongly recommend the Budgetel Inn. If I am to be on an extended work detail again, the Budgetel Inn is the first place I will call for lodging.

Classic roadside motel, family owned and managed, with above average updated rooms that are clean and well stocked with towels and toiletries. Check in was quick and easy and the manager was friendly and welcoming. If you need a business center, exercise room, or guest laundry, you can find those at more expensive hotels, but if you just want a nice clean hotel room for a good night's sleep, with a comfortable bed and a large TV, this Budgetel Inn would be a great bargain for you.

Very nice, helpful reception staff. Room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds, effective HVAC, TV, microwave, and fridge. Bathroom is small but well appointed with updated fixtures. Everything worked well. Given the pricey hotels of Saratoga during race season, this was a very good deal. It's motel, so there really are no "common areas."

Last February, I stayed at the Budgetel in South Glens Falls. I booked a room, and I’m so glad I did. The price was amazing, and the room actually looked better in person that the online photo. The bathroom, the bedding, the floors - everything appeared so fresh and new, as if recently renovated. It was the best in value for price. The room was warm and comfortable, and everything worked well. I will definitely stay there again. The proprietor went above and beyond with service. I left some belongings behind, and he even contacted me and sent them back. Incredible!

I absolutely highly recommend this motel. The owners go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable and they take care of their customers better than any motel I've ever been to in this area . The rooms are immaculate . And all updated and modern . The beds are extremely comfortable and they appear to be new . The bathrooms are pretty large and updated showers are always clean. And the rooms come with a very large mini fridge and a microwave which I also might as always clean and doesn't smell . They have large flatscreen TVs in the rooms. the bedding and linen is always crispy clean and white and smells wonderful they will change your bedding and your towels at any request . And if you are a tourist and have any questions about entertainment or things to do in the area they have a full array of brochures and you can ask them any questions. The owners are a family and I believe it is the son who works the front desk and they are just so kind and sweet they remember people who come and I just couldn't say anything better about it . Highly recommend 💯 👌🏽

Staff was very friendly and helpful when things were needed. Room was clean and roomy with the twin bedrooms. Room was always cleaned with fresh linens every day. Room amenities were also nice with having a mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot. Great place to stay and close to all being in southern Glenn Falls and Lake George only 20 mins away.

We checked in around midnight as our travel plans were dramatically changed. Staff wasn't unpleasant, but not personable either. Our bathroom reaked of cigarettes the first night, but when we came back the next day after a day out and about the smell was gone. We stayed in roommates with two Queen beds. They were nice, not the best I've stayed in and certainly not the worst. Shower did what it was supposed to. Overall a good place to stay the night.

This is what you would expect from a budget hotel. It was clean. A bit dated but had what I needed.... clean, good bed, shower, refrigerator and microwave. No frills but reasonably priced. About 3-4 miles off the interstate. A mile or 2 from dining and the next town

Best kept secret in Glens Falls. Well kept older lodging. Immaculate bedroom and bathroom. Great hot shower and cool air conditioner. Large size mini fridge with a small feeezer! David does a fantastic job managing the Inn. Location is on outskirts away from tourists. Park right in front of your door. Restaurants nearby as well as grocery store and Kleen Laundromat, which was the cleanest laundromat we had ever seen.

March 19, 2022

Im only giving this one star because thats the lowest rating there is.Room was dirty and dank. The room they put me in was right on a main road, I asked for a room in the back and they told me it would be more money. The comforters had cigarette burn holes in them and the beds were poorly made. There were people outside drinking and grilling. When I approached management about this, they told me that I have a barbecue at home and these people are allowed to barbecue here.I left immediately and got another room somewhere else.

Absolutely do not rent a room in this disgusting motel save yourself the disgusting vile conditions that this hotel provides for its customers !!!! First of all on the website there says there is an outdoor pool that was false there is no outdoor pool then in our room there is a giant disgusting yellow stain on our bed the couch and chair had stains all over, the walls and the ceiling were covered in cobwebs, the telephone had dried blood all over it and the water that came out of our shower was brown. When we checked out we left our keys on the counter because the owners were in the middle of a very loud argument because another room was complaining of how disgusting their room was also.

Check in was a hassle, the guy almost told us we couldnt stay there because I had recently been married and changed my last name. Wouldnt go there again if it were the last hotel in town.

This is a great hotel for a cheap price. Wi-Fi is great to game on and the room was very clean along with the bathroom. Ive had no issues during the 3 night stay i was here. The staff was very friendly and was very accommodating. Just heads up Nintendo Switch users, you may find it difficult to connect to the Wi-Fi but that is not because of the hotel but the Switch itself because I had no issues connecting my cellphone, PS4 and laptop to the Wi-Fi. Would defiantly stay here again when i come visit the area again.

Every place deserves a 5 upon arriving and the problem is keeping it. First, the comforter was for a queen and not a king. The bed was poorly made and the box spring was wrapped in plastic. How about a bed shirt to hide the keys lactic if you insist on keeping it and blankets and a comforter to match the bed. Down one star. Next, for the money they put in the remodel, it only makes sense to hide all the wires so it less tacky. Down another star. And finally, and the worst part, all the towels were grungy and looked like they weren t washed except for one bath towels that had large blood stains. Down two stars. I ll keep the one star since it was redecorated and not the awful and usual color foreign motel chains are known for.
