I stayed one night at American’s Best Value Inn. This is a “value” stay, for sure, and if you’re looking for a clean bed to sleep in, this will hit the mark. I would bring my own pillow next time, but the bed sheets were very nice and clean (pillow cases too). The towels also smelled fresh and clean.
The rooms are not kept up well at all. Nothing matched, drawers did not open smoothly, the caulking around fixtures was old, and it just didn’t look nice. The A/C worked well, however.
My room had a toilet that was very small and low to the ground. The shower head came up to my neck, and I’m short. The water pressure was very good, however. The drapes were worn out, as was the screen on my window. The drapes let in a little bit of light in the morning, but nothing a normal person would complain about. They need replacing, though. Again, the upkeep of the room is just not very good.
Lastly, the whole building smells of a strong cigarette smoke smell. Walking into the room, however, it smelled much fresher, but after a few minutes I could start to smell a lingering smoke odor. I’m stubborn, so it didn’t deter me from staying there.
Breakfast is NOT served here, as advertised. It was the thing I was actually most disappointed about. When I asked the concierge about it, I got a funny look like. An “oh no, not here!” kind of look. Management should consider revising their advertisement.
