Evansville

Although the Staff encountered on the proprty were very courteous; the building shows it age with stains and tears in the wall finishes. The toilet bowl was not clean. Dirty linen was not changed.
The internet was suspect in that it did not always connect. The microwave was not usuable. The air conditioner thermostat was inconsistant. Because of the building's age, there were too few accessible electrical outlets in the room.
Visits to other sites belonging to this brand were a far better result.

I didn’t like our room because it totally smells like smoke and old. When we turn on the ac, the bad smell started to spread out. Thank goodness I don’t have asthma.

Totally Disgusting and Disappointed

This hotel is the most disgusting i have ever been to. A customer in front of me complained when she went to her roon to find out the room that was supposedly ready, had not even been cleaned. The lobby was dirty. I will not take a chance on staying in a room that possiblycould have not been cleaned, or the bed remade without even changing the linen, the outside was dismal, trash in the parking lot. The employee was very rude, Demanded a cash deposit of 50.00 for my stay instead of charging my card. I explained i do not carry cash while traveling due to possible theft. She still demanded, i asked to have the reservation canceled and i call the company with no apologies, discounts, or a refund. I will never stay at another America's best again, and i encourage others to find another place to stay. This was more like a pay by hour facility rather than a hotel that they claim to be.

My wife and daughter heard mice in the walls during the night. Although we booked the room for 3 people, there was only 1 bath towel. The TV eould not get any channels when we turned it on. The breakfast only had drinks and cereal, not even any toast or sweet rolls. The walls were in bad shape. The only good things were the resposiveness of the staff, and the room was quiet. We were also upcharged for two beds instead of one.

When we reserve the room the picture showed a jetted tub which was the main thing we wanted in the room. When we got there it was for a regular room and there were burn holes in the comforter and the place was really dilapidated. They did ultimately give us a refund but we had to scramble to find another hotel.

Sheets were clean & bathroom was clean. Those are usually my requirements. Old building that needs alot of updating. The strip club was 1/2 block away & housing was all around. Just looked like bad neighborhood. Gas station was across parking lot. Very handy. Staff was very nice & helpful. Basic breakfast. Pre-packaged rolls, 2 kinds of cereal, milk & juice.

This place is disgusting! The strip club next door doesn’t serve alcohol so people are out getting drunked up in the parking lot it’s practically a riot. The cigarette burns in everything are a nice touch in this non-smoking facility. Front counter staff was very friendly but I knew I was in for a real treat when they insisted that no deposit or cc was required. The whole place smells like green curry chicken, I like it but really weird. Also the mobile surveillance trailers are a nice touch, but not so comforting. For almost $100 this is a snake oil scam of a location, at least you have been warned!

We ended up at this hotel as there were few rooms left in the city. I would not hesitate to return to the hotel if it were in a better location. The personnel were extremely nice and the room we had was probably cleaner than some of the 5 star hotels in which we have stayed. We did not share in the continental breakfast so cannot rate it. I rated the facilities as a 3 only because furniture, linens looked \"tired\". The TV was great. Again, I highly praise the cleanliness.

Go somewhere else!!!!

Very Run down, in a bad neighborhood, and our room was disgusting. The bed linen was not changed there were hairs and grass in the bed. We changed the linens ourselves the staff never offered to even bring new sheets to the room. The vent cover in the bathroom was off and thrown on a shelf. The hairdryer and iron was missing from the room. The only good thing about the room was the air conditioner. Horrible experience, but we will not give this place a second chance ever!

Worse experience ever

I travel quite a bit and have stayed at this chain all over Southern regions of the U.S. However, never in my life have I EVER stayed at the nastiest, dirtiest hotel in my life. I do not believe that the carpets have EVER been cleaned. It was so bad that I slept in my clothes, did not touch the toilet and did not take a shower. I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone except a homeless person who needed a warm place to stay and couldn't afford anything else.

NO NO NO!!!

This was an extreme last minute buy so we just dealt with it...but no will not EVER stay here again. There's a strip club across the street, it's next to what appears to be lower income housing, and the hotel itself was dirty. From the carpets to the walls. Bring your own towels because theirs almost tore my skin off. Then the couple next door to us decided they wanted to provide entertainment in the form of WWE. When we called it in the person on duty let it be known that our room was the one calling in the complaint. How unprofessional was that??? So please please veer far away from this hotel!

Terrible

This hotel was absolutely horrible. The carpet was disgusting. I wore slippers the entire time. The base of the bathroom tube was black, from the dirt. I asked the hotel staff for something to clean it with and they gave me Windex and three old dirty rags. When explained to the staff that Windex was for Windows he caught a attitude rolled his eyes and began speaking his native language. He finally gave me a watered down product that was placed in a old Windex spray bottle. This hotel is close and convenient to all the restaurants and shopping facilities. Also, this hotel always people to board there as if it is there home. Needless to say I will never return he again!

Not a great part of town

I had to request a new room because the original room wasn't vacuumed and the bathroom floor had water on it. The common area carpet was filthy and didn't look like the carpets get cleaned or vacuumed. Everything looked dirty when entering but my card was already charged prior to my arrival despite selecting the hold and not charge option. I would have gone somewhere else.

My main objective was cost and they met my needs\n

I thought it a great place to stay....convenient for my needs. I stayed during a local event where most motels up their rates to the moon and found this one to be quite reasonable. No frills, not much in the way of amenities although they did have free WIFI that worked well. Room was clean and comfortable. TV worked but remote did not, but I watched little or no TV and was not there most of the time. I'll stay there again next year if the prices remain reasonable.

Needs updates!

While the room appeared clean on the surface, I found a pair of sunglasses when I went to plug something into a wall outlet...but there was no outlet there, the wire from the lamp went straight into the floor. Fortunately I travel with an extension cord (because I am a C-pap user) and I was able to access a plug that way. The light over the sink had a motion detector, which I thought was cool until the light turned off while I drying my hair and again while putting on my make-up. Just keep moving. The worst was the handle on the spigot at the sink. It was broken although operable if you wrapped a facecloth around it to get a grip. No, I didn't complain about the room. I had a clean bed and bathroom with running water and enough towels for $55. I've been forced to stay in places that were more expensive and not clean...so this was bearable!

Old but clean

I stayed here over 15 years ago when it was a Days Inn. It hasn't changed much. While not a lot of effort has been out in over the years to keep things fresh and modern, it's clean and the front-desk personnel are friendly.

The room was a hotel room, nothing more or less. It did include a mini fridge and a locking safe, neither of which I used but are nice amenities. The TV (an old tube model) apparently had its volume locked and it was difficult to hear over the AC, but I also didn't use it much either.

For the low price, the room is more than acceptable. The only real downside is, while a non-smoking facility, it used to allow it and you can still smell it at times. Not overbearing, but there.

Very disappointed

The moment I wLked into my room I smelled chemicals. This caused me not be able to sleep well. I would randomly get a whiff of the chemicals and wake up. The hotel really needs updating as well, cracked tiles on all bathroom fixtures, no coffee maker in room. The breakfast is a \"joke\"!!! There was no coffee available and as an adult I would like options other than cereal and cream cheese toast. I was very disappointed overall and will never stay there again. I will much rather pay twice as much. The old saying \"you get what you pay for\" didn't even come close here. I would suggest you drop them

You get what you pay for

We rented this room as basically a place to sleep close to the Ford Center for a show we were seeing there. I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel especially after reading some of the reviews. I don't know that I would stay here again b/c it doesn't have a very friendly or welcoming vibe to it. Upon arriving I almost changed my mind when we entered the parking lot there was trash all over the place and the place looked deserted not to mention the strip club across the street not that all strip clubs are horrible it just doesn't give you a good vibe being across form a hotel. Check in wasn't bad definitely not the friendliest but I have experienced worse. I never saw another guest there the entire time we were there and the few people I did see I believe were staff but not wearing the normal attire someone who works at a hotel would wear. The room was clean and free of bugs which is my main concern. Room was a little old and outdated, hate the hotel blankets they use but I always remove them when I go to sleep. Older blankets and sheets had a few snags on them but appeared clean. Bathroom was small and vanity area even smaller and bad lighting. Beds were pretty comfortable for a one night stay, did not actually take a shower here but bathroom did look like it had seen better days. I am not familiar with the area, but my guess is this might not be the best part of town solely based on observation.
