Noel is run down and the furniture was inadequate. There was little or no place to put your belongings. No cheat or dresser. I would not stay there again.

I stay in motel rooms about a hundred nights a year, almost entirely at my own expense, so I try to keep my cost down to around $50 and am not picky at all. In fact, I have seldom written a negative review of a motel, but I will in this case! My wife and I visit our son in Battle Creek every summer for a few days. This year we chose America's Best Value because it [allegedly] has a swimming pool and is close to our son's apartment. I will first list the things I liked about it (it's a short list): (1) the lighting in the bathroom was very good (2) the location was very convenient for restaurants, shopping, movies, and (as I've mentioned) our son's residence So much for the positives. Now for the negatives: (1) The swimming pool was under renovation, though it is still pictured on the website (2) The outside looks quite rundown (3) The inside of the room was *very* basic, including few surfaces to put things on (4) No nightstand on one side of the bed (5) The shallowest motel desk I've ever seen (6) Poor Wi-fi (7) Few TV channels and lousy reception (8) No breakfast (9) No maid service during our three-day stay! (10) Many undesirable residents, seemingly long-term, partying and making noise late at night This place would have been marginally worth staying at for $40 a night (like Rodeway Inn across the road) but at $59 it is a rip-off. We will not stay here again.

While we are glad that our convenient location and lighting became the highlight of your stay, the same can't be said with the issues you've highlighted. We understand that we didn't fully meet your expectations, and for that, please accept our apologies. Rest assured that the concerns you raise will be thoroughly looked into. We'll take the necessary actions to solve them as customer satisfaction is our top priority. Improving does not stop here, and we hope that you will give us another chance to change your perceptions in the future.

The property was undergoing renovations. I was notified the week before arrival, which was too late to change accomodations. First room had bed bugs. Second room had major issues with bedding. They attempted to change first room with another, bed was disgusting to say the least. Ended up substituting first room with two newly renovated rooms. Finally settled into the newly renovated room, found dirty towel and washrag behind door in bathroom of one of those rooms. Most disturbing weekend ever. Rooms were not cleaned/beds made during stay. Staff was pleasant and he was disgusted when we took him to see rooms he was putting us in.

The condition of the room was poor. And the towels that were left to be used were gross. They were like sandpaper and all stained up. And there was puke outside the rooms by the walkway. It was huge amounts. Just gross. Not a friendly atmosphere as you check in either.

Americas Worst Value Inn?
Ordered a non-smoking room but got a smoking room. They said that Hotels.com had not informed them of the non-smoking request but we do not believe this. We were offered a refund, but that would have left us without a room for the night. Carpet was dirty. Bathtub had cigarette burns and was to filthy to risk a shower. Refrigerator was so loud that we had to turn it off and let our food spoil. Some of the guests appeared to be vagrants.

Did not take our needs into consideration
We requested a 1st floor room as my husband 87 and myself 79 with a bad foot have problems with stairs. The clerk just didn't seem to care when I told him we needed a room on the 1st floor. I can't believe that all first floor rooms were full on a Monday. He did not really say they were. It seemed as though there were a lot of people living there and not just staying there as guests. The room we stayed in was a non-smoking room, but it smelled smokey. When we checked out and told the clerk this, he just shrugged his shoulders.

Do not stay. Not even as last resort.
Upon arival I just wanted to shower after a long day of work. No hot water. Let it ran, still no hot water. So instead of a shower, I discovered only the sink had hot water so I filled up a million ice buckets full of sink water and then took a bath in the nasty tub. Black mold around the trim, hairs all over the tub, walls look like they had NEVER been wiped down. They had solid drips of yellow tinted something all over them. Mini fridge was disgusting inside. When we got our room keys, we walked up with all of our luggage just to have neither of them work. So we go all the way back downstairs to get them reactivated. We left to go get food, came back and they were disabled again! Seriously. And no they weren't by any electronics or magnets. At night around 11, the neighbors were yelling and fighting about drugs! And yes it was clear they were saying they walls are paper thin. Kids running up and down the halls and the parents also up yelling and laughing and having a good ol time at 2:30 in the morning. It's a Thursday night. GO TO BED!! Some random person came up beating on our door and I answered and she asked if someone was there (obviously not because she had the wrong room) and said she was just needing her drugs. And just the area in general is not safe and very sketchy. Theres $40 and a sleepless night I'm never getting back. And it's not even like the hotel was full so I'm not sure why they put people in rooms right next to each other instead of spreading them out!

Went to this hotel with my confrontation number, the middle aged man, i think his name was john, was enraged from the start and told me there was no rooms under my name, i got fed up with him yelling and ranting for no reason. It got to the point i had to yell "settle down" to him. He then threatened to call the police. Now im a 5 year honerable discharged veteran of the marines and also a registered CPL holder (which I'm glad i didn't have to use this night) they still charged me $44 and i never stayed there. I went across the street to another hotel where the lady was very nice and even mentioned this john guy having anger issues. I would like a full reimbursement of my money, it was not fair to me, nor my partner in the way this man acted above treated us.

Dirty, Disgusting motel room.
Got there and my reservation was cancelled, I called earier in the day and told them I would be there the next day. Got to our room and the door looked like it had been kicked in before. On the inside there were no extra deadbolts, just the lock on the handle. As soon as we walked in the refrigerator was humming extremely loud and I unplugged it. The microwave above the fridge was disgusting, the outside of it was covered in all kinds of residues. When it was time to go to sleep the lightswitches did not turn off the lights above the sink. None of them, so I had to untwist the bulbs to turn them off. Around 11:24 a car right in front of out room started to chirp it's alarm. As if someone was hitting the lock button, just a single chirp. This went on every minute, I timed it. Called the front desk and I could hear them walking around outide, they did nothing. Another half an hour goes by before we decide to go to the front desk and ask for a refund. The worst part wasn't the fact that the person at the front gave me a slight attitude about wanting a refund, he did not even apologize or state anything about the he situation. We went down the street to Red Roof In, which was luxurious compared to this extremely vile location.

Poor Condition/Bad Security
The rate is low for this hotel and there is a reason why!! The property is very old and run down. I didn't have enough hot water for my shower. The towels are old and stained. There were people screaming at each other in the parking lot when i was packing up my car. I did not feel safe. Don't stay here unless you are desperate!!

Stay away
This hotel room was absolutely gross. We couldn't get the door open to enter until management came to open it. It smelled, the bath was horrendous. Mold Mold Mold. It looked like something the health department should condemn. From a conversation I heard I would wonder if this hotel has rooms that are labeled for hotels.com lower pricing. Another visitor said that they would take the room here because this was better next door. I don't know how anything could be worse than what we had. Blankets had burn holes in them mattress was nasty. The whole room made us feel itchy. Would never stay here again. Guess you get what you pay for.
