Would not recommend at all. Nasty. Small area to eat breakfast. (Didn't eat there when we walked in it was full of foriegners and STUNK) Couldn't understand staff at counter. Was upcharged for a double bed room since they didn't have a king non smoking room. Said i reserved a smoking room. I'm a non smoker i would not. The worst hotel experience ever.

Very old neglected property. Obvious mold in the bathroom and the furnishings were very dated. Carpet was stained, the toilet ran constantly, the bathroom exhaust fan sounded like an airplane taking off. The room wasn't filthy, but certainly wasn't cleaned to typical hotel standards. The price was relatively cheap and we were only there for a few hours of sleep.

This was my third or fourth stay here in the past five years. Property is definitely deteriorating and I would never stay here again if my wife was with me. I checked in around 9PM. I had a lot of belongings to unload and asked for a luggage cart and fess told there wasn’t one. I had to make four trips from my vehicle. I will say that the carpet in the hallway looked to be fairly new and was clean. My biggest concern was that an entry door was taped with duct tape so that it would not latch. As the tape was dirty and worn in appearance, it looked to have been that way for some time. When I entered my room, the air conditioner was set at 54 degrees. The room was fairly clean. O noted that towels were very worn to almost see-through thinness. The bath mat had two holes in it. Worst was the continental breakfast promised. Very sparse choices but I did appreciate the hard boiled eggs available. The absolute worst coffee i have ever tasted. I make coffee at home and I’d guess they only used 30-40 percent of recommended grounds. All in
All though, the worst issue was the lack of security. Never again will
I stay here.

It is a budget motel, and to that end it's a good choice. But, the property is in serious need of a deep cleaning, and an updating. It's unfortunate that \"budget\" has to equate to dirty carpets, out dated linens, and minimal services. Managed correctly, you can have a quality service/product at a reasonable price...

I'm not a fussy traveler and understand that budget motels are basic, but this one was a bit of a stretch. Positives - comfortable bed, strong shower, Wi-fi worked fine, working fridge and microwave in the room as advertised, and quiet for the most part. That part of Iowa feels safe in general so I never felt unsafe as a woman traveling alone. The not great parts - My first impression when checking in was someone demanding a refund because they found old food in their bed. When I got into my room there were no bathroom linens at all and I had to go back to the front desk to ask for them. Several times I returned to find linens missing and not replaced, like a washcloth or all my towels, and I had to go ask for replacements. The back door is supposed to lock with a key card but was duct taped open. Something that looked like dog food was lying all over the back foyer and no one cleaned it up for the 5 days I was there. One day there were bags of trash piled up outside the rear door. My trash wasn't emptied the entire 5 days, I had to ask for a new trash bag and take it out myself, and the desk attendant seemed bothered. There was a breakfast but it was only bread products. Just coffee in the breakfast area, no coffee maker in the room, It appears there is a large family living in the hotel and a couple of mornings it looked like they used the breakfast area as a personal kitchen. I won't be staying here again but if you need something really cheap it will cover basic needs.

Place is a dump. Booked 2 nights and stayed only 1 night. Woke up with a pepperoni stuck to my back that was left in the bed and a spider I luckily smashed. Friends bed in the same room had a 6” dookie stain on the edge. They clearly do not change sheets or wash them. Stay far away, the management doesn’t care about the property.

Room was not really clean.

Traveling with a dog myself- I understand “pet rooms”… this one smelled of pet urine… and there was previous pet kibble on the floor :/

Beds were comfortable- surprisingly so.
Linen was older
TV Remote controlled
Channel- but remarkably- not the volume.
Toilet was a SUPER slow flush- (hold the handle and watch it sslloowyy flush.. )
On the plus side/ it was a quiet hotel-
Not many guests.

This was a good place to stay as you’re traveling. An overnight, I wouldn’t stay longer. Plus, they said there was breakfast, and there wasn’t. They have a nice little nook area for breakfast, there just was no food during breakfast hours. So I had to go and buy breakfast when I got back on the road again. I make sure all my hotels serve breakfast an Expedia’s app, and they were not serving any. I guess I will be calling places to confirm this.

The staff were friendly. We had a 1 queen room and it was roomy. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. It was a good location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. There was no noise from outside, so we slept well. The breakfast was your typical free breakfast: waffles, cereal, pastries, bagels, coffee, juice and boiled eggs.
It was nice for the price. I deducted one star, because the refrigerator was not working. We would stay again.

This is hardly a 5-star room BUT I didn't need a fancy room because I was busy at the SURF DISTRICT & BALLROOM & barely there. I gave this room an EXCELLENT because it offered what I truly NEEDED. 1.A FABULOUS HOT, GREAT PRESSURE SHOWER, 2. Enjoyable free breakfast & COFFEE, 3. PET FRIENDLY, 4. VERY friendly staff. The owners/managers (probably hubby & wife) did everything possible to make my stay pleasant. I have traveled all over the country, stayed in 5-star hotels & dives as well. The shower here was THE BEST I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THANK YOU!!

The staff were wonderful. We got caught in the blizzard Sunday Dec 28. I 35 was closed at the clear lake exit and I booked us a room at Americas best value inn. There was a long line up of people hoping to get a room. The staff stayed calm and polite as one by one they got us all checked in. The next morning there was a lovely breakfast and hot coffee all ready for us. The lady that was doing everything (from what I could tell) was so friendly and hard working. I would stop at this hotel again.

You all need to get a grip on the moldy atmosphere in your entire complex, rooms, main halls. Don't like coming out of your facility the next day, coughing up luggies the size of golf balls. Get it right, if the room is going to be occupied the particular day, turn on the A/C. This BS of letting a room or your facility get HUMID and MOLDY is unacceptable.

You won't see us there again EVER

The rooms were not clean. Somebody had taken a crap in the room and left it before we even got in there. There were roaches in our room. It stunk most of the staff was rude. We asked to switch rooms because of the roaches and the lady at the front desk couldn’t have been any Router, but on a positive note the lady serving the breakfast in the morning was very nice.

This property - though listed as 'budget', ought to orovide basic services in the hospitality industry. Namely: cleanliness, front desk assistance (its not self-check in).
I waited 10 minutes for someone ro attend the front desk after having to use my phone & call a random # that was on a scrap piece of paper at the front desk. It took a regular amount of time to check in (appreciate that). Room was DIRTY. Floor NOT vacuumed, sink had water & hairs on the tray with soaps, cushions of sofa had crumbs & stains. After driving 14 hrs, wanted to use the bathroom & go to sleep. No toilet paper. Call the front desk from room - nothing. Call using the # from before - the lady huffs and says someone will bring me some. I waited 5 minutes in my room - nobody. A guy walks into the lobby, i ask him - he says he'll be with me in a minute but proceeds to deal with a guests dispute of some issue and i stand there for another 8 minutes. He hands me the toilet paper saying he was going to get to it.
There were random guys outside the room fixing a vehicle - banging tools etc. I called asking, via voicemail, that they move the guys or move me - never heard back. There were guys walking up & down the hallway with phones on speaker, in tank tops & underwear. Would NEVER recommend.

Terrible stay at this hotel

There was mold on the wall, door & bath tub
The carpet had not been vacuumed
There is no receptical outside for smokers to throw the butts into, the front desk told me to throw them on the ground. While I was outside smoking she came out and pretended to be looking at the flowers while watching me closely then went inside and watched me through the door.
VERY uncomfortable!!

The floor in the room had not been vacuumed for at least one day, maybe more, and there was a broken bar of soap under the sink. I showed all this to the front desk person who basically shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. They did help with a couple other things. The bed and bathroom were fine. The breakfast was minimal.

One star if you're lucky

The bedspread was gross and disgusting. The place needs a major upgrade, the decor looks extremely dated. Whether or not the property owners are willing to invest the $$ and time to do that I seriously question. Also there's no more continental breakfast, which sucked because I was there a month ago and they offered it. Apparently they're cutting costs/looking to increase their profit margins. The adage \"you get what you pay for\" definitely applies here! You don't pay much and by the same token, you don't get much. Keep your expectations at zero and you'll be ok, otherwise do yourself a favor and stay at the microtel or Best Western down the street.

The beds were comfortable. The staff is never up front. You need to use the phone to call them over. My friend wanted to rent her room for one more day and was told that there were already booked. She went online and came to find out that there were rooms available. She booked it and went to the office to show the lady who did not seem pleased.

Check-in, went fine when we entered the room. It was so dark and we could see why, when we turned the lights on, it was filthy.
The vacuum has not been run in this room. Probably, in a couple of weeks taking the pillows off the bed, there was dirt under all of the pillows on the bed. Shower had mold in it, and we had to walk in our shoes in the room. Because our feet got, it's dirty from walking on the carpet. There's mold in the top tile of the sink area that has not been taken out. And cleaned blessed, it looks like forever. Breakfast ended at 9, and it was poor at best.
