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.

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

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.

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.
