This is an excellent low cost inn. Staff was very friendly, accommodating and helpful; especially Karen at check in. Room was very clean and relatively large with a very comfortable king size bed. Parking was immediately in front of the room. Location was good with Mystic and Stonington CT only minutes away and the vineyard wedding venue we were attending less than five minutes by car. Very pleasant stay.

My husband and I were looking for an affordable place to stay overnight to break up our trip to Cape Cod. We were delighted with America’s Best Value Inn. It was lovely to be in a beautiful area instead of right off the highway. The accommodations are simple and basic but very clean and spacious.
We especially appreciated the friendly staff who made our short stay very pleasant. As far as we could tell, the motel is run by a hardworking family.
The location is rural and quiet but is only 10 minutes from Mystic, CT which offers many good restaurants and small shops. The whole experience was exactly what we were looking for.

Upon arriving, it was noticeable that the buildings need a power wash or new siding. Opening the front door there was a musty odor and upon entering the room the odor was only slightly better. We paid just under $300 for one night for a sub par hotel.

It was a place to stay for two nights, and it was quiet. I stayed on the 2nd (top) floor. It is a basic motel, with parking immediately in front of the rooms. No amenities, and nothing nearby (walking distance) for dinner/snacks/drinks.

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The room looked nothing like the photos advertised online, which was very misleading. It felt outdated and wasn’t what we expected based on the listing. First impressions matter, and this one definitely fell short. Overall, the hotel did not meet our expectations, and I hope the photos are updated to accurately reflect the rooms so future guests know what they’re booking.

The best thing about my room was the renovated tiny bathroom. It had nice marble and sink but the toilet seat was loose. And that was just the beginning of the poor state of things. The room was pretty clean but the door paint had been chipped and not repainted and the door handle was barely functional. I definitely used the deadbolt lock. The curtains on the window were a solid panel so you couldn't really open them. I slid them aside. Fun fact: the metal box the mattress sits on makes a cool \"gong\" noise when you accidentally kick it.

This is a very basic no where else to stay kind of place. The kind of sad motel room you see in films about people on the run. Nice staff and bathroom, so they got some stars for that.

It gave off an older hotel vibe, which we were looking for. The property overlooks fields and a marina which was really nice. They have some channels and they did provide a TV guide. It's better to just manually press the numbers for channels instead of flipping up or down, it's analog channels. Kind of have off late 90s early 2000s vibe. Really good for the price. Didn't have coffee in the room, but the rooms were very spacious and relatively clean. I would book them again. Also close to mystic, 10 minutes away, not that far from the beaches either.

Not sure how they're still in business

From arrival to departure the service was poor to nonexistent. We were greeted as if we were an interuption. The room smelled musty. The walls are thin so you hear EVERYTHING thats going on in the next room over. The water faucets are all backwards, hot is cold, cold is hot. Microwave was dirty and gross. The bathroom door didn't close, hinge was broken. Towels were like drying off with an old rag. The heater / air unit is VERY loud. The bedding (or lack there of) was flimsy and not comfortable at all. The stairs to the upper unit are ridiculous and can't be up to code. Definitely will not be staying there again.

The hotel was ok, the water pressure for the hot water wasn't good, and tried talking to people in charge, they didn't speak English so couldn't understand them, but overall the room is very clean, and one thing that could be changed is put a sink outside the bathroom and just have toilet and shower in the bathroom so you could have more space for a shower because the shower is too small, it doesn't make sense having a sink in the bathroom and sink outside the bathroom, and the wall in the bedroom should block the bathroom, it should be more open so you know where the bathroom is, that's what I didn't like about the room, otherwise it was clean and it was fine.

The pictures online appear to be taken immediately after renovations or something. The reality is nothing like that. The place has not be taken care of. Dirty walls, dirty molding. The paint on the door was so bad it looked like a bear was trying to claw its way out. Disgusting musty odor that would not go away even with the windows left open all day. The rug (not hardwood floors as some of the online photos show) wasn’t vacuumed. The fridge was dirty. It really seems like the owners down really care about the place and were just collecting a check.

A multitude of problematic findings: the room was so much smaller than the pictures showed, there were cigarette burns on the comforter, thinning of the black out curtains so light came through, temperature settings on the shower has the opposite label (turn it to cold if you want a warm shower, turn to hot if you want an ice shower), the water is very hard and left a residue on my hair, and the TV signal was unreliable and would black out. A college kid was throwing up off the side of the porch a few doors down. I forgot my ID at the desk and the receptionist kindly called me to let me know that night; we agreed that I would pick it up at 9am (I truly lost count of how many times I tried to rephrase, \"when is your office open? what time can I come get it?\" because a language barrier was quite apparent). However, when he came pounding on our door at 7am, the language barrier became really unfortunate. Sure, I felt safe, the toilet flushed, and the location was ideal for events I was attending at the nearby vineyard, but I would not recommend this place, I'm so sorry.

When we checked in we weren't greeted in a friendly manner at all. It was just straight to business. Not a smile, a hello, or welcome. The website description of this place is very misleading. It shows newly remodeled rooms. We didn't get that. The bathroom had been remodeled but not the rest of the room. I feel they should've given us what was advertised considering there were not that many guests there. We had to ask for fresh towels on our second day and after that they brought them to us. I have to say, despite the shoddy conditions it was very quiet there. Probably due to lack of guests. It was ok. But i wouldn't stay here again given the lack of friendliness, no amenities and rooms.

Completely Unacceptable – Avoid This Hotel

Our stay at America’s Best Value Inn in Stonington, CT, was a nightmare. The only employee on-site did not speak a word of English, making it impossible to get help. In an English-speaking country, there should be fluent staff on-site—not just over the phone, where we were forced to give our credit card details to someone who sounded like a child. We received no receipt, no invoice, and no confirmation of charges.

The room was just as bad. A one-inch gap around the door let in freezing air, making it impossible to stay warm even with the heat blasting. The bathroom was like an icebox, and to make things worse, there were no comforters—just thin top sheets, totally inadequate for winter.

The TV had no channels, and despite the hotel being nearly empty, they placed us directly below the only other guests, who jumped and stomped all night.

This hotel’s definition of “value” is misleading. The photos online are completely false, and the experience was unacceptable. If you expect basic service, comfort, or even proof of your charges, stay anywhere else.
