Price on line was advertised as $90. When arrived there after first phoning to confirm reservation, they jacked the rate up by $10. The office at 5PM was smelly, cluttered with boxes and locked. That should have been yet another warning sign. Paper sign in window said "No Refunds", "No Pool", etc., but neglected to say "No Internet". They only admitted that after you paid and tried to connect to do some work while there. Then they invoked the "No Refund" policy or else I would have left immediately, as I had a ton to get done. There should have been another sign, "Don't mind the GECKOS", as there were several running around in my room. The air conditioner was rattling so loudly that I could barely hear the TV unless I turned it up to an obnoxiously loud level. Water plumbed backwards to the faucets. The blinds were cut so that even when down, there was a sizable gap through which a gawker could see directly into the room. Had to hang a towel over that space. Need I continue?Three times over 18 hours, they were asked for some consideration in the form of a small refund. The attendant always said, "Manager not here". In short, this place is a dump to be avoided at all costs.

This place is definitely more than what you pay for. I was expecting a 1* or 2* place based on the price but the service and room was more in line with that of a 3.5* hotel. Room was recently remodeled and clean. The exterior looks like an older roadside motel but that isn't a bad thing as it's what is on the inside that counts. I wanted to give 5* but the pillows were lifelessly flat and the mattress felt old, like they had spent all the money on the aesthetics and ran out before they could replace them.Don't know that I'll be back in the area again but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here, even with my kids it felt that safe and quiet.

$120 a night, stayed here for a work trip. After a long day came back to the room only to find it was infested with cockroaches. The hotel owner came in and doused the room with spray raid and then left like that would do anything. Lost count of how many roaches I saw. Had to thoroughly shake out all my stuff to make sure none were in there

We went for cheap price as we were looking for one- night accommodation, but this was a serious mistake. Located on the edge of busy US-27, we encountered the expected "Kings of the Road crazies" blasting off from the traffic light 150 yds away from the hotel. But this was not the worst part.The manager/ staff living spaces were situated above our room, and, apparently, they don't sleep at all. We heard ppl walking back and forth above us all night, on cracking wooden floors, that sounded like they were about to crash thru the ceiling anytime. Loud phone conversation at 2:45am, loud chatting in the escape stairs in the back from 4 to 5am. A total nightmare, that is, if we had been allowed to sleep! In conclusion, unless you are a very heavy sleeper, or you intend to be noisier than them, avoid Budget Inn of Avon Park at all costs.

Late 50's or early 60's building. But very nice and very comfortable and friendly. The lady that runs the place is very nice and very good at her job . I have done a lot of traveling over the years and am very impressed by some people who do what ever they can to make sure your stay is pleasant. Next time I'm in town I will make sure I stay there.

We checked in. Paid for our stay. Went to our room and right away saw multiple cockroaches. Immediately grabbed our belongings and went to the front to ask for a refund. They refused to give us a refund and asked if we wanted another room. Turned them down on this offer. If one room has cockroaches I m sure it s likely they all do. Very disgusted with this result. I don t know how any professional business can have cockroaches and refuse a refund.

Do not, I repeat do not book here! We booked and paid through Expedia for the 12Hrs of Sebring. Arrived and was told Expedia didn t pay the hotel so we had to pay directly, and was proceeded to be charged over $300 a night, gouged over $250 a night more then we paid up front. Having no other choice as every hotel within 100 miles was sold out for the event we paid. Upon entering the room, there was no window, yes no window, It was like being in a dirty, disgusting closet. The smell of Febreze in the air to cover any lasting odors, paint chipping off the door and walls, sheets that were stained, I could go on and on. We left after 2 nights because we just couldn t bear to sleep there another night. What a way to ruin a weekend long event we look forward to every year.

This place I thought would be perfect,......... The problem is with the ppl who run the hotel.Granted, it's raceweek , rooms are hard to come by this time of year. U are not allowed to have visitors. AT ALL! The ppl who run the show here are not at all, yes I'll say it again : NOT AT ALL..... Nice about it. Now I might only be a veteran, a disabled veteran at that, but I believe that I have the right to rent a room for the week and still have visitors as it was the same as my home??? Not here. He can easily get the 350/night he's asking for the room where the va is paying a standard rate of 79/night. I'm paid in full for a week, but because I had a few u disruptive visitors during normal hours, they refuse to let me stay Beyond my week It's too bad that greed overshadows a military veteran over 12 hrs of Sebring racers! I would recommend that u fine another hotel.

Was hoping I could use this as my go to since I m there often... NOPE!! Looks clean when you walk in the room, woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and saw multiple roaches. Hard to go back to sleep after that. Shady people clearly living there.Did not feel safe being alone.

The hotel felt a little shady, the room wreaked of smoke but was pretty clean. The guy at the front desk was very nice and let me park up front. Only stayed one night.

If I could give it any lower of a score I would. It's a terrible hotel. In an even worse part of town. Very shady people just hanging around outside. No security. Do not recommend for anyone to stay here.
