Budgetel Inn & Suites Fort Scott — Hotel in Fort Scott

Me and my son came up here with little money to start fresh on July 6, 2014. We talked to the guy that runs the place and come to find out he and his family were from india... we stayed for an entire week day to day pay just because of the Good-ness me and my son were shown. The man and woman running the 1st interstate inn were so nice and very kind. I didn't have a lot of money and he was still nice enough to work with me on check out times as well as on the breakfast schedule. I know when I saw the Hotel just from looking at it and first impressions would make you say uht no, BUT LET ME REASURE YOU ALL ... YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER PLACE TO STAY IN FORT SCOTT,KANSAS. The Breakfast Was NO 4 Star HOTEL B.S. But I would Rather Enjoy A GOOD OLD FASION BOWL OF CEREAL than SOME FANCY FANCY MEAL.

VERY NICE FAMILY RAN, VERY NICE...

The manager and the staff at the Budgetel were extremely kind and welcoming! It's probably the best 'home' away from home you'll ever find!

I found my room and the entire facility very clean! The location couldn't be better! It's between a McDonald's and a Casey's, and across the street from Walgreens. Walmart is one stop light away!

The structure reminds me of a 1980's or 1990's something Super 8. It's been pretty well maintained. The manager mentioned he has been working there only four months - but I assure you he is working HARD to bring it back to it's former glory!

My room was a pretty standard motel room. Everything was very clean - yes, even the microwave! My room had the most lighting of any motel I have ever stayed! I loved that! The refrigerator was a nice size and clean. The heater / air conditioner appeared to be a newer unit and worked perfectly! The mattress set was an innerspring mattress, but it was comfortable. The Vellux like blanket between the top sheet and the bed spread kept me toasty warm!

The continental breakfast is tasty, but carb heavy, like many other motels. Pair a waffle (or two) with a Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl (from Walmart), warmed up in your microwave oven! Now that's a tasty breakfast to start your day!

The Budgetel is the perfect place to stay in Fort Scott, if you don't want or need all of the frills - and your stay won't break the bank!

I'll be staying there again...

Making a reservation by phone was difficult. I am fully conversant with Indian accents but I had to keep asking the owner/manager to repeat herself as I could not understand her at all. The rooms all say non-smoking yet the hallways reek of cigarettes which gave the room a slightly stale odor of smoke. There is no coffee maker in the room but the room did have a small microwave and fridge. But there were no mugs or glasses provided to have a hot drink. Breakfast was cereal, packaged cheap pastries like mini-donuts, and waffles, coffee, orange juice, milk, but no tea or hot water. This is a super no frills stay, very on-the-cheap, with little to recommend it except the room itself was clean and nice enough. It was very quiet which was nice. The heater had no thermostat. It was either on or off so the room was unbearably warm and stuffy or got cold quickly. Don't expect much, and you won't be disappointed. It's a place to sleep and...
