It served it’s purpose of a place to sleep but not somewhere I would ever go back to

The room was somewhat run down but everything was clean and I had hot water for a shower. For the price I rate it four out of five stars.

I very much loved the beds and pillows, they were so comfortable! Room was clean and spacious. I liked the fridge and microwave also. The front desk was super friendly, I just felt bad having to ring the bell. I thought I might be disrupting family or personal time. The outdoor side doors did not lock which concerned me slightly since anyone could enter, but I felt safe enough with deadbolt locked. Overall pleasant stay.

First we tried to cancel 1 of our rooms because our friend that was supposed to stay also is a first responder and was hurt responding to a fatal crash. They told ua since the room was already paid for there was nothing they could do. The bathroom in our room had holes punched into the door and wouldn't close and latch. The door knob didn't have working conection to the door frame. You had to straddle the sides of the shower because if you stepped in the middle it felt like you were going to go thru it. The toilet was so short it only came to about mid calf. No water pressure in the shower at all. I definitely wouldn't recommend this site for a stay to anyone.

One night stay and room was clean and quiet.
6.0 / 10.0
Honestly, for $60 a night this place was not bad at all. Obviously staying in a motel, you’re not going to have the nicest room, but there are no complaints other than the red stain in the shower which was a bit frightening but i just ignored it. The bed at this place is honestly amazing. It’s big and extremely comfortable. Not sure if they washed the sheets or not so i brought my own. But extremely comfortable, nonetheless. Overall, i had a good experience here. Probably won’t come back though because I'm definitely going to stay somewhere nicer in the future.

So the place is kind of crappy. There was poorly cleaned writing on the wall of our room. There were apparently outdated pamphlets in the room. The thing in the room said the breakfast was from 7-10:30, so we went to eat our free breakfast at 10 and the lady working said it actually ended at 9. Didn’t say a thing about the times changing before. So we missed our free continental breakfast even tho that was one of the reasons we chose this place. I feel like almost $70 for one night there is way too much especially because we didn’t even get the free breakfast. The only thing good I can say about this place is that the bed was comfy. Needless to say I feel ripped off.

The drain in the bath didn't work so taking a tub was impossible. The key cards stopped working the second day.

They definitely need new mattresses-as they are a bit saggy. They mop the bathroom floor dirt into the corners, and the vacuuming was ok. The breakfast was better than I expected as there were make your own waffles. Otherwise, some fruit, cold cereal, coffee, toast, and yogurt. Overall, I have stayed in worse, I’d stay here again if I had to.

Clean and comfortable. Property is in rough condition. Poor parking lot. Bed too soft.

This was our experience:
1. We were given keys to the wrong rooms and when we opened the doors, there were people in those rooms.
2. When given the keys to right rooms, our key did not work. The desk attendant then gave us what he called a master key. I question the wisdom of giving a motel guest a master key.
3. The sheets on one of the beds were full of hair. They obviously had not been changed since the last guest.
4. Breakfast was promised but very poorly stocked. No syrup for the waffles. Little cereal available. No fruit.
This was an extremely poor experience.
5.0 / 10.0
The motel was easy to find and check-in. The beds were comfortable and a breakfast was provided the next morning and a Mexican restuarant was right next door that had very good food. The price for the room was very reasonable. Overall, we were very happy we chose this motel.

Key card/card reader problems.
Ceiling light functions on and off.
Sink plug not functioning, not able to plug drain.
Sink and tub drain very slow.
General lack of maintenance.
Lobby/common areas very cold - 60 degrees according to thermostat.
Awful smell of curry throughout common areas.
Very limited selections for breakfast. Common use milk jug very susceptible to tampering. No juice. No yogurt. Only white bread. Common use jam/jelly containers, susceptible to tampering.
I’ve utilized this facility several times over the previous 25 years. Not again! And not an “Americas Best Value Inn” again with no other choice.

The bed and pillows were very comfortable and clean! The staff was helpful when the key did not work and when we forgot something in the room, letting us back in to get it.
The property needs attention. No security on outside hallway access door... anyone could walk in. Lock on our door did not look like it would hold up to much force. the whole property was VERY run down.
Complentary breakfast was late. Hubby went down for coffee, like 7:30 and it was not going yet.

The motel had a funny smell when entering the lobby. The room appeared generally clean as well as the linens. The lighting was very dark at the sink area - couldn't see to shave. The shower control needed repair - spewed when filling the tub. Seems to be a very old property.
4.0 / 10.0
We are fans of the America's Best in Clear Lake, Iowa so we gave this place a try. It is a good place to stay and we will be back.
Our quibbles are small - maybe larger bath towels? And it was not clear to us if we had on-site recycling for cans and bottles. But the staff was great, room was very very clean and we loved having grab bars ibn the bathroom as one of us is disabled. and we loved the restaurant - very good food and great staff.

Great Value. Very Clean and comfortable.
