Probably the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in Not a single stain on anything. Excellent customer service! He was able to get us in close to midnight and discounted our room by a little bit because it was so late! The trains honking their horns were really entertaining to us as it reminded us of home!
Stayed here while working in Borger, the manager is very nice an accommodating. Rooms where cleaned daily, even offered to clean room on days off. Working 7 12s it's not easy to get clothes washed, that service was offered also at a reasonable price. Good place to stay, an if I'm ever in the area again I will stay here again...
We really enjoyed staying at the Budget Inn in Panhandle, TX. The room was very clean, the staff (manager or owner?) was very friendly and helpful in more ways than one. Two Dollar stores and a Dairy Queen are essentially next door, within short walking distance. There is also a 24/7 gas station with a Sonic restaurant attached just a block away. One potential drawback is the location of train tracks near the motel. Trains run regularly throughout the night and may blow their whistle. We got used to the noise quickly and slept well, even with brief occasional train whistles. We certainly recommend both the motel and the charming town of Panhandle!
Very comfortable beds and clean room. Our host went out of his way to accommodate us at a unexpected stay. Thank you sir for your hospitality. Highly recommend
I'm staying here while working at the panhandle 2 wind farm. Nice good size CLEAN rooms! Price is great! Kitchenette is perfect for those that want to cook. Owners are very sweet and accommodating to different wants/needs. I will definitely stay here again!
My family and I were in a pinch for the night. I searched for a hotel and found Budget Inn. I called and the owner quickly got us a room. The room is clean which is all we need. If I could give 6 stars for service I would. The owner truly loves his business and takes care of his clients above and beyond anything I expected here in Panhandle. If for some reason I’m back in Panhandle, I would stay here again!
Super friendly staff. Room was clean and exactly what we needed. Repeat customer do to work. Would highly recommend even if just passing through for a night.
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The only draw back was that the air conditioner did not blow cold air.
Rooms were very nice and clean. Wifi worked amazing. The staff was really nice and amazing. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone in the area and anyone coming to this area looking for a place this is a great hotel.
Great place! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Super clean rooms!
