It was a good stay. The staff were great. It has an indoor pool, and some free breakfast options. Very comfortable. Great cable selection, the little refrigerator worked well. The flower beds out front were beautiful. I garden, and they were really well done ...an eye catcher. I stay here fairly often and it's always a good stay. If anything is needed they take care of it quickly.

Our family stayed at America’s Best Value Inn on our way to Bryan Texas. The Inn was
A bit of a hit-or-miss stay. The highlights were definitely the clean towels and the beer bathtub, which felt brand new. Unfortunately, the sleeping area didn't match that quality—the decor is dated and the linens have seen better days. Also, travelers looking for a hearty breakfast should be aware that the continental offering is very basic and lacks protein options (aside from milk). Good for a night, but needs some refreshing.\"

Thin layer of dust on infrequently used surfaces. Sheets and covers thin and stained. Mold on calking around tub. No sheer drapes to allow sunlight in while maintaining privacy. The no refund policy set by hotel seems to be in place to prevent customers from seeing the state of things and changing their minds.

I informed the staff upon arrival that i would only be staying for 1 of the 2 nights booked, and I did so less than 1 hour after i booked the stay and subsequently physically checked in. The front desk clerk, a lady, said that that was in fact no problem because i paid upon check-in. However the next morning upon checkout i was billed for both nights. I attempted to discuss this issue with what turned out to be the actual owner who i had already irritated by requesting to be directed to the location of an item, the milk, that was not in open sight or there being any sort of indicators as to it's location. The gentleman was not only arrogant and rude but acted as if i was inconveniencing him with each ofvmy 3 interactions. Asking for the milk and the orange juice must have made him upset. So, when checking out i again told him that i was not staying another night as i had stated the night before. I was told i had to cancel and was told i was supposed to give a24 hour notice and i explained that i had, but he shifted it to hotels.com responsibility even though he processed the final amounts. He was a jerk and did himself no favors. I did try to cancel but itbkn

You couldn’t PAY me to stay here again.

The photos on Hotels.com are not recent! Probably haven’t been updated in the past decade. Upon check-in there was a sign at the front desk that stated “I’ve stepped away from the front desk, please call ###-###-3884” so I called it. The phone rang AT THE FRONT DESK. The guy stepped out from behind the wall like this is normal. That sign didn’t move all weekend. He had no personality, didn’t bother to state that there was breakfast, barely even told us where the elevator was located. We didn’t see a luggage cart, so we asked if they had one, and he said “Oh, someone must be using it”. Started taking our stuff to our room on the 2nd floor, upon entering the elevator we were speechless by what we saw. The emergency buttons on the panel apparently weren’t working, so their replacement buttons were SCREWED to the elevator wall (see photo). Our room was missing the smoke detector, because it had been removed from the wall, leaving the exposed wire and mount. The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were terrible. The large bath towels could be described as oversized hand towels. The shower curtain was fabric, so it had slime and other guests’ hair attached to it. There was a train that passed through quite frequently with it’s horn blowing. We didn’t get much sleep between the sounds of the train, the uncomfortable bed and the paper thin walls. The make-your-own waffle batter was in 4 reused containers that had “do not throw away” stickers on them. At least we didn’t find any bugs.

I checked in later in the evening and found the several issues such as no accessible plugs near the bed, the phone in the room not working and spider webs in the bathroom. However the worst was I found dead bugs on the bed and stains on the sheets. I couldn't reach the front desk to complain and due to some event in the area and late time of day I could not find another room in the area. Being a woman traveling alone, I had limited options so I locked my bags in my car (due to bugs) and tried to sleep in the chair in the room. It was the most horrible room I ever stayed in and there was no staff member to be found in the morning to file a report upon checkout so I left the keycards in the marked basket and left.

This property is over priced. While they have remodeled the property, they cut corners where ever they could. For example, our tub had three holes in it that were horribly filled in with some material. The shanpoo and conditioner was an all in one, and the breakfast consisted of cereal, oatmeal packets, and only two pre-measured waffle mixes. If we wanted orange juice or apple juice, we had to ask for it, and there was zero protein. So, again, the price is not what it should be.

I recently spent three nights at this hotel, and it was an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. From the moment we stepped into our room, we were hit with an overwhelming unpleasant smell that lingered throughout our stay. The outdated furniture only added to the feeling of being stuck in a time warp, and the sink in our room had an incredibly unappealing repair job involving plaster, which certainly did not inspire confidence in the hotel's maintenance.

On the second night, after enduring ridiculously old and lumpy pillows, I requested replacements, only to be told that the staff couldn't provide them because the owner was away at a wedding and the key to the \"pillow room\" was unavailable. This excuse was both frustrating and laughable in its absurdity.

The most alarming part of our stay was discovering a live scorpion in the bathroom, followed by another one in our bedding the next morning. When I raised this issue at the front desk, the staff member laughed as if this was a common occurrence—certainly not the reaction anyone would expect regarding a creature that poses a potential danger.

As for breakfast, the options were incredibly limited—just dry cereal and coffee that you had to make yourself if you timed it right.

When we returned to collect our belongings, the door to our room was locked, and when the key didn’t work, the front desk lady nonchalantly remarked, “Oh, I thought you guys left already.” We felt a distinct lack of hospitality.
