Roach Motel Do not stay

There were roaches in our room. We were offered another room. Roaches again. Management did not care and Hotels.com was zero help. Neither would not refund us. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money.

Reconsider

This is a terrible hotel. We went to our room which had a horrible moldy smell. The air conditioner wasn’t cooling and made everything smell worse. The floor was dirty and there were little bugs crawling all over the light fixtures. We had to cancel and stay in another hotel.

Little let down but still would stay again

The staff was kind and polite. The room we stayed in on of the bed sheets had black stains. When we first got into the room there was a strong smell of musty and wet paint. Once we turned the air on and opened the door for a little bit the smell was gone. They came and cleaned the room while we were gone but didn't change the stained sheets. Online it states that they have breakfast and there was nothing. They have a large refrigerator in the lobby but is say \"staff only\". Otherwise our weekend stay was nice and beds are comfortable

Good two nights sleep.

The staff was kind and polite. The room was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. There was only 2 things I have to complain about. The first the door lock to the outside didn't work and it made me feel uncomfortable and not safe. I had to block the door just to feel a little better. Second it said they offer free breakfast and there was not breakfast at all. Other than that my two night stay was nice. I would stay there again.

The air conditioner filter was dirty enough to see the dirt through the vent.
The room had a very strong, strange odor. Possibly an \"air freshener\" in the ac unit?
It was overpowering.
If you are sensitive to scents, it would not be good.

The floor had debris on it with what looked like boot prints.
It obviously had not been swept or mopped.

The mirrors looked like someone had taken a dirty rag and quickly wiped them down so that it left circular streaks when the water dried.

This room was NOT worth over a hundred dollars for one night.
Maybe 40 if you just need a roof over your head for a night.

The lady that checked us in was fine.
The room a disappointment.

Best Value Giddings, Texas

It's an older place, fine for a bed and the king room had plenty of space, but not remotely close to something you'd write home about.

Clean, but Aging

It is, indeed, an inexpensive and adequate old-style motel. It was clean, although the age of the facility definitely showed. The AC was too noisy to sleep through without ear-plugs, but running the unit for several hours during the day was enough to keep the room temperature cool through the night. The Best Value is centrally located in Giddings, right on 290, which runs through the center of town, so that was a good thing for me. The traffic noise on the road was not especially noticeable. This is not a luxury stay by any means - but perfectly adequate as a place to spend a couple of nights at a good price.

Disgusting

This was the most disgusting, nastiest place I've ever stayed in my life! The sheets had stains, the walls had patches over many many holes, the ceiling was falling in over shower, etc, etc. If I were hotels.com, I would exclude listing this. Totally gross! What little I slept, in my clothes, was with the lights on....ugh...was ripped off.

Passable,but not great

Very hot when we arrived,small window unit took a long time to cool the room,but it did finally get cool.The room smelled a .little ,should have been sprayed with an odor killer. The girl in front office said she didn't know where any spray was,I had a small bottle which helped a little.The breakfast was not good,consisted of 2 kinds of cereal,and packaged sweet rolls.It was ok for the price,since we were'nt in the room that much,we were in town for the funeral.I don't think I would stay here again.

It was an old hotel and we new this, but we though it would have been updated more. I picked up 3 dead roaches in the bathroom. When I went for the continental breakfast there was no coffee and nothing to eat except cereal (2) choices. I rang the bell and a lady came out at 8:30a.m. She did make coffee and put out 1 honey bun.

Staff was friendly, close to many places to eat. When I stayed the weather was cold. It took the heater a while to heat up the entire room. It is located right next to the main road, so you will hear the cars passing by at night. Other than that good value for the price.

Disappointed - Expected More

I expected more, but it wasn't to be. Shower with tub, was only a shower, no option to take a bath. The sink in bathroom had no drain stopper, so made shaving rely on running water. Breakfast area was really non-existent. For all that, the price should have been lower.

Their website states dogs are $10 per dog per night, they tried to tell us they don't take dogs at all, when we said it's your website they said only dogs under 20 pounds. They charged me $25 for my dog per night and she is 24 pounds. Terrible way to run a business. The room looks nice at first glance but in reality it's filthy. The bathroom looked so dirty and the carpet was nasty filthy. The girl at the front desk was nice.

The room is big and the bed was comfortable. But when i came back to my room after a meeting i got undressed and laid across the bed and someone used a key and opened my door. And then acted like i wasn't supposed to be in my own room. He said sorry and walked back out. I was completely uncomfortable with that.
