I was there on a business trip and everything was going wrong on that particular trip when we had nowhere else to turn lo and behold the staff came in and rescued me it was awesome treated like family it was outstanding highly recommend them
Clean and comfortable. Staff was professional and gracious. I knew this hotel in the 80-90s, 100% turned around. Small details are an issue but the price location and cleanliness out shine those issues.
I was able to relax in comfort. My room was clean enjoyable. I will definitely be staying at America's Best the next time I visit the Longview/Kelso area.
Staff friendly, service reliable, rooms comfortable and clean
Front desk woman was super helpful and very upfront and honest. Rooms were as clean as they could be for an older motel. The price was great. Would definitely stay there again
This place is wonderful. I stay here quite frequently and the manager is just a wonderful person. Always making sure that your needs are met. Love this place
The room was clean, and had a Flat Screen TV, Microwave, and a decent sized mini fridge. The hot water didn't work in my shower.
Above and beyond. The lobby smelled freshly mopped. Very clean rooms, no stains on the linens. Excellent customer service, front desk was very polite. My wife and i will most certainly be staying at America's best value inn in the future. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a Quality room on a budget.
