The Spotlight on Budget Inn Redwood City

Affordable Comfort Near Bay Area Music Action

Budget Inn Redwood City is a no-frills, budget-friendly motel with a clean and simple vibe—perfect for travelers who want to spend more on shows and less on lodging. Located right on El Camino Real, it’s across from Woodside Central shopping center and under 30 minutes from Levi's Stadium and Stanford University. Free WiFi, in-room microwaves and fridges, and daily continental breakfast give guests the essentials without the fuss.

Why Concert-goers love it

This spot is ideal for fans attending concerts at Levi’s Stadium or Stanford venues—both within easy driving distance. Late-night returns are no issue with a 24-hour front desk, and the motel-style layout means minimal hallway noise. If you're flying in, San Francisco International Airport is just over half an hour away, making this a convenient base for out-of-town music lovers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost launchpad for a concert weekend
  • Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop
  • Couples who want a simple stay after a night out
  • Fans needing a quiet, no-frills place to crash post-show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who prioritize location and value

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with the motel’s complimentary continental breakfast—perfect after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location across from a shopping center means plenty of walkable food options, including fast food, casual dining, and coffee spots. Rooms include a microwave and fridge for snacks and leftovers.

Nightlife Options

While the motel itself is low-key, you're a short Uber ride from downtown Redwood City’s bars, breweries, and lounges. Want to keep the party going after the show? Check out local spots like Freewheel Brewing or head toward Palo Alto for a livelier scene.

What People Say

Guests love the affordable rates, convenient location, and friendly staff. Reviews often mention the clean rooms and strong WiFi, with many noting it's a great base for events at Stanford or Levi’s. Travelers also appreciate the free parking and in-room amenities that help stretch the budget.

Areas for Improvement

This is a motel-style property, so don’t expect luxury touches. Some guests mention the decor is dated and that soundproofing could be better. But for the price and location, most agree it’s a solid choice.

The Bottom Line

If you’re chasing live music around the Bay Area and need a simple, affordable place to crash, Budget Inn Redwood City hits the right notes.

The most terrible stay at...

Liked: NOTHING WENT WELL!
Disliked: The room was terrible! As soon as we opened the door we were hit with an overwhelming odor of Clorox. We opened all the windows to air it out but none of the windows had screens on them so we closed them to avoid having a room full of insects. We slept with the odor through the night. The bathroom walls were peeling paint from everywhere due to a huge past roof leak. We stayed only one of the two nights we paid for...it was that bad!!! When we were leaving, a large man fell from the stairs next to our room, we personally told the manager to come and assist, she said she would... but never did. I helped the man to his feet and to his car. I went upstairs and brought down his luggage and personal effects and sent him on his way. Still no manager, no 911 call, no nothing! No coffer maker either! Really? We proceeded to leave as fast as we could to get to the Stanford Hospital to receive a procedure I had scheduled for the day. I am a 68 year old man, who has worked in construction all my life and this is what I thought of the accommodations. There is not enough room in a 100 page notebook that could hold the summation of my wife's criticism of our stay at this Motel. My thoughts...stir clear!
