I checked in at 3:30 (check in time is 3:00). The room was dirty; there was a black ring around the toilet bowl which would have taken a while to build; the toilet seat and under the lid were wet; the toilet ran every few minutes all night (leaky flapper?); the surfaces in the room were sticky/dirty; the walls were generally in poor condition (not a big deal if the room was clean); the man who checked me in was professional, helpful and personable.

First, Hotels.com gave us wrong directions (which was crazy), but let's add in the fact that the toilet was broken, the fridge was nasty, but worse was the fact that there doesn't seem to be anyone that really cared about the whole place. I mean even the toilet paper was gross!! Like wth people?!?

This was the most disgusting hotel room I've ever encountered, the floor was sticky, the bedding smell. I couldn't even sleep in it, she seemed to be malfunctioning. It was either too hot or too cold, it was shampoo soap, and \"boywash\" in the shower that was hopefully mislabeled. It was incredibly noisy, and there were bugs crawling around in the room. I could go on my own, but I think you get the picture.

Keep it moving

Lady at front desk was super sweet and helpful. But…… as soon as you get the key and walk to your room you have to avoid the people living in a trailer in the back. The moment you walk into the door of your room you instantly regret it. The smell of mold was so bad my entire family woke up with the worst sinus pain of our lives. You could taste the smell of the room for hours after we left. Checked the mattress for bed bugs. No bugs just tons of old blood stains. We all slept with clothes that we were wearing on and changed at a random restaurant when we left before the sun even came up. Slept on top of the blankets to keep extra layers. A family of 5 slept in one bed and chair that did not have the blood stains. Don’t use the toilet if you have bad knees bc it was so low my toddler thought it was a toilet at her school.

Everything was run down, in disrepair including black mildewed shower curtain. Our shower didn't work and the tub didn't drain when we tried to use the shower. We did not use the shower. The toilet bowl had a black ring. The sink had no stop and there were tiny bugs on the sink. The bedding was clean, the only saving grace. We pre paid or would have left.

Old hotel, the room has been updated fairly recently. Overall, the room was clean, no bed bugs or other creepy crawlies. Staff was super-friendly. The building is old. The toilet was wobbly and the base board was separated from the wall. The beds were comfy, the room had both a mini-fridge and a microwave. The rooms are larger than newer hotels. The air conditioner worked beautifully.

In our room, there was no safety chain on the door, just the one dead bolt. And the smoke detector had been removed from the wall and was sitting behind the tv. The hallway/breezeway where the ice/vending machines are had no lighting turned so was extremely dark.

Overall, I would stay here again and probably actually will. We’ve stayed here several times over the years when it used to be a Super 8 and it has been maintained well, given the age of the hotel.

Our stay here was a last minute decision and a poor one on my part. I should have read the reviews better. The lobby was horrible and smelled like marijuana, the free breakfast was not a breakfast you wanted to eat or trust, the rooms were VERY outdated. The fridge in our room did not work, our bathroom light did not work, there was tape that covered a fist size hole in the shower, the pillow cases were dirty, I believe they put used wash clothes back on the shelf as “clean” and to top it off there is a double wide trailer with occupancy in the same parking lot as the hotel. The amount I paid for this hotel was not worth it. If you’d like to stay in a hotel that crackheads enjoy then this is your kinda place.

Woke up with both kidneys only saw one roach#bless

Really not enough space to describe my stay at America’s Best Value inn in Darien, Ga. lack of option left is with only this location with any available bookings. Tried to pull in to the parking lot and there was a line to get in the building to check in or even park. They had one night clerk who was very overwhelmed and dealing with computer issues. Angry crowd of people that had already booked and waiting to get keys. We got there a little after 11pm didn’t get our keys until after 1am. The keys didn’t work and are had to come unlock our doors manually. My daughter immediately came out of the room shaking her head no. As soon as she turned on the light in the bathroom a roach ran across the sink. My room wasn’t terrible...I definitely felt like I could wake up in a bath tub missing my kidney but I was exhausted. I pulled the sheets back and there was hair on them that WAS NOT MINE. The bathroom had mold or something all around the toilet. Definitely thought I’d hover over that toilet. On the bright side...it didn’t have bed bugs. I did keep my kidneys. My kids said fire alarms went off twice during the night but I didn’t hear them. Refused to allow my children to take anything into the room but a blanket. Made them shake it off before they got in the van. I remember the night clerk saying something about “it may not be up to some people’s standards but we just redid the rooms” so many red flags I should have just slept in my van but we were desperate.
