Budget Host Hemstead Inn

Very good place to stay for the money you pay!
Nice, clean, quite inn to sleep. Staff is friendly. It’s near the Hispanic area so don’t expect anything fancy.

I called the hotel at 0723 on the day I was to check in.
I was arriving much earlier than expected. I called and spoke to a woman named Nancy. She informed me I could check in at 1300.
Still later than I was hoping for but its better than 1500.
I arrive at 1230 I arrived, hoping to be able to check in earlier than 1300.
A gentleman at the front counter said all check ins were at 1500. No exceptions, I was shocked he was not able to make any accommodations. Since a sign clearly said check out at 1100.
The lobby smelled like old curry. This is the same place that serves breakfast.
I drove down the road and found a pricer hotel. The hotel was renovated in the last 6 months. So no smelly lobby or breakfast area.
I tried to cancel the room and was told I had to contact the travel site I booked on.
Since I made the arrangements through the hotel and not the travel site, there was no record. They spoke to Nancy and she claimed she never received an early check in for myself.
The travel site was able to refund half my money, so props to them.
I would avoid this place for the curry smell and poor customer service.

It’s a cheap, no-​frills kinda place where you don’t have to worry about motel horror stories going on.
When I’m in town, I normally go for a 1 bedroom. All though the bed rattles and shakes a little bit, the room was clean and there’s HBO on the TVs. Nothing really to complain about.
And smokers like me will rejoice, they almost always have smoking rooms available.

Pretty straight forward. Clean room. Cheap. People at front desk were really nice. It aint 5 star place, but good for price.
Room has fridge and microwave. Burger king and taco truck next door. Quiet, industrial area. Felt safe.

Cant find anything to complain here. Nice and clean room, friendly service, and very affordable prices (we got a room with a king bed for only 47 $ a night). It was so nice I had to add their business on Unilocal (they havent got a Unilocal page yet) and give them five stars! a perfect place for common travelers!
