Make this your regular stay in Storm Lake.

The owner is always working to upgrade the property. It's not the fanciest in town, but it is economical, clean, quiet and easy to get to and from.

The motel was exactly what you should expect from a low priced facility, average. Nothing stood out as bad but nothing stood out as being above average.

The room, stay and staff were very good. They would probably have better reviews if they didn’t advertise a breakfast or offered more choices of food.

Stay here unless you have money to burn.

Why pay more for a comfortable bed, in a clean quiet room? Budget Inn in Storm Lake is conveniently located to good restaurants and travel necessities.

Good stay

The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. Everything worked in my room & it was relatively quiet. That’s all I need to make me happy! The owner recognized that I had stayed there before (I’ve stayed there around 5 times in the past 3 years.)

Like visiting the tropics

This room was like staying in the tropics, without A/C! From the time I stepped in the room, even with the A/C working, all the linens were damp to the touch from the high humidity in the room, which never went away all 3 days. All of my clothes also felt damp when I left from being in there, even the ones I hardly wore. Also, the shower drain was so slow that I was standing in about 2-3 inches of water when I was done.

A great option if you're in a pinch.

This was a last-minute booking when plans to stay with a relative were scuttled by her air conditioner going out. The hotel has a 7+ rating. This is more a 3, maybe 4, star motel. The manager and staff are amazing and very helpful. The beds were very nice. There is good water pressure. Other than that, it is very 1970's...the chairs were old and stained, there were very few outlets, the tub was obviously at least 50 years old, with electrical tape around pipes running into it. The room was bug-free and relatively clean, but there was a ton of dust behind lamps and the microwave. It was annoying to have large trucks parked outside our room...we were awoken by a ridiculously loud engine that was allowed to run for an extended time before 6 am.
