    I loved the vintage vibe and having a fridge and microwave in the room made our stay super comfy. The outdoor pool and picnic area were perfect for relaxation after a long day. Just a heads up, if you're not into retro decor, this place might not be your style, but I really enjoyed it! 😊

    The stay at Best Budget Inn was lovely. The retro charm hit me right away. The room felt spacious with good seating near the pool. The owners were welcoming and provided local tips for dining. I appreciated the cleanliness throughout my stay. I enjoyed the small kitchenette area with a fridge and microwave, making it easy to store snacks. The view of Kellogg Lake from the property enhanced my experience. However, the bathroom could use some upgrades. A few more electrical outlets would be great to cater to multiple devices, but these didn't overshadow the positive aspects. Overall, I would happily return for the friendly atmosphere and scenic location.

    convenient parking
    dated rooms

    We enjoyed exploring a nearby lake and checking out local shops. The place has a cool vintage vibe and is right off the main road, making it super convenient. Parking was easy right in front of our room, which felt secure. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a fun getaway.

    Our only downside was that the rooms were a bit dated, but it was still a good stay overall.

    A Cozy Retro Retreat for Pet Lovers

    We had a pleasant stay here while picking up our puppy! Friendly staff made check-in easy. Rooms, though retro, offered comfort with a fridge and microwave. Great pet area next to a park. If traveling with pets, you'll appreciate this safe spot. Also, stop by the Dollar General next door for last-minute needs!
