Budget Inn of Avon Park

Do not, I repeat do not book here! We booked and paid through Expedia for the 12Hrs of Sebring. Arrived and was told Expedia didn’t pay the hotel so we had to pay directly, and was proceeded to be charged over $300 a night, gouged over $250 a night more then we paid up front. Having no other choice as every hotel within 100 miles was sold out for the event we paid. Upon entering the room, there was no window, yes no window, It was like being in a dirty, disgusting closet. The smell of Febreze in the air to cover any lasting odors, paint chipping off the door and walls, sheets that were stained, …I could go on and on. We left after 2 nights because we just couldn’t bear to sleep there another night. What a way to ruin a weekend long event we look forward to every year.

Stayed here before and it was bad then. They raised the price since then. The wife tells me $120 plus tax. Then the husband says $120 plus tax, and a $50 deposit. THEN says it's $50 deposit in cash only. Very rude, and when I remarked of how it wasn't like that before, he told me to leave. Terrible people with dirty rooms and roaches.

Would not recommend. We made reservations six months ago and called to confirm 2 months before our stay. We get here and they cannot find reservations for 4 nights for 3 rooms. Needless to say, it doesn't make for a good start to a vacation. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

After we checked in we went to our room to use the bathroom before we brought our suitcases in. Good thing. We found live cockroach in the bathroom. We asked for a refund but they refused. We would not stay. No way are we taking those little buggers home with us. Very poor service.
