Americas Best Value Inn & Suites

Nice clean place to stay. Some noise from highway. Would definitely stay here again.

I come to stay at this hotel every year with my grandma for Memorial Day. Our original reservation was for a room with one bed, but we were hoping to switch to a double if possible. When we got to the hotel, the woman working was VERY helpful and understanding and within just a couple minutes had a new room for us, and was incredibly hospitable. She was very cheery and didn’t seem the least bit annoyed to fix a mistake that WE made. (She also offered us the wifi password right away haha) Our room was non-​smoking, and I couldn’t smell any smoke in the halls or anywhere near our room, which can sometimes be a problem at small hotels that offer smoking rooms. I was disappointed to find that they have recently replaced the pool with a game room, but seeing that I was only here for the weekend, it wasn’t a big deal to me. The room was clean, but the fridge was not working. The TV had SO MANY channels; I’ve never been in a hotel with that many free channels. The beds weren’t the most comfortable I’ve slept in, but I slept through the night regardless. The complimentary breakfast wasn’t very substantial, just some cereal, toast, coffee, orange juice, and waffles. All in all, definitely a good place right off the highway, good for a night or a weekend, definitely worth the low price.

This hotel is perfect for someone looking for something off the highway in the middle of the night, which is exactly what I needed. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the rate was reasonable especially considering we were in the middle of nowhere. They have a continental breakfast that I skipped in order to go to the caribou coffee next door, but it didn’t look bad.

I’ve stayed in worse, but I’ve also stayed in better. We had limited options (the Best Western was full up), so we took this one over the Super 8. It’s near a truck stop, so if that makes you wary, you may want to keep going.
In terms of the room, it was surprisingly clean. It stunk to high Heaven with some sort of perfume or air freshener, but the beds were clean, as was the rest of the room with the exception of the carpets, which were a bit sticky.
The sink had a crack in it, but nothing major. The bathroom door wouldn’t close all of the way and the shower curtain really needed to be replaced, but otherwise it was acceptable. We heard the breakfast wasn’t to great, so we skipped it and went to the Cracker Barrel in St. Joseph.
So, if you’re in desperate need for a place to stay, this one works and it’s on the cheap. Pretty clean stay.
