A work-in-progress, but clean, quiet, affordable.

If you are looking for super inexpensive, this is for you. For less than half the price of a downtown hotel, I stayed in a clean, quiet, everything-works motel. The owners are refurbishing a motel evidently closed for many years; big parts of it are not open and are under construction. Has long term tenants who work construction in the area, it seems. So if working class neighborhood works for you and your budget is tight, my room came with free WiFi, fridge, microwave, TV screen. Free coffee in the morning. I'd stay there again.

Roaches all over the room. I didn’t even stay the full night after one crawled on me. I drove home on 2 hours of sleep after a music festival. The staff was great, the owner has a great personality but the rooms were atrocious.

We had a leaky faucet, a nasty toilet toilet paper roll under the bed nasty used tissues in the tissue box. This place overall not the greatest for the price and wouldn’t recommend it . Also what they don’t tell u is after the price u have to pay for just the hotel u have to make another 40$ refundable deposit for incase you destroy the room or wtv and if u want to check in earlier then 3pm u have to pay a check in early fee and it’s 10$ an hour

you’re a solo female traveler don’t go here. First huge red flag was that I had to send a venmo for my security deposit. I asked if I could go get cash and was told no. I should have cancelled and left right then. Then they moved my room from the second floor to the first which is scarier for me. Then my room number was told to me loudly in front of three men in the lobby that I didn’t know. Then I get to the room and the thing that’s on the top of the door to catch the door if it opens is broken. And the door doesn’t look sturdy. And the door was hard to latch so the wind even blew it open. I left within 15 mins to go to walmart to buy things to barricade the door which is where I decided to just not go back because I didn’t feel safe. They only refunded half my stay and refuse to refund the security deposit even though I left pretty much instantly and never stayed there.

This property was old and had weekly people renting there. There was a humming all night in my room. The room felt stark. I stayed in the back opposite the part that closed down and I felt a bit isolated. The check in area also was small with an old sofa sitting there.

Short staffed; had to wait to check in but attendant tried very hard to process us promptly and pleasantly. Outside sign not lit; wondered if it was still in operation; room was basic but tidy and clean and bed was good. Perhaps many residents are weekly or monthly as this motel has seen better days. But I appreciated the $88 price. Evening and morning staff were very pleasant and helpful and worked hard.

This was cheap…it’s only redeeming value. 45 minutes required to check-in for a pre-paid room? Seriously? No apologies from front desk woman. No-smoking room reeked of smoke.

The train track was right next to the property and was very busy. First impression of the property is they cater to homeless, so they had many rules up front you normally don't see and they required a $50 cash deposit. Some of the buildings were actually condemed. But I must say, as a single older female, I felt safe. However I did bring my bicycle in.

Not in the best area. We understood that they are doing some remodeling in one of the buildings so people working on that were staying there. Took 30 minutes to check in, lady was nice. Upon entering our room we found some type of pill on the chair, and a bed bug on the floor of the bathroom. We told the owner and lady at the check in desk and our money was refunded. While leaving we saw a guy who was going to the same festival as us who was checking in. Saw him the next day at the festival and they rented out our bed bug room to him.

Terrible experience with this hotel. Booked it last May for a rock festival, drove 4 hours after work to get there at 12am and be told they didn’t have our booking. When asked we were told by the front desk she was new and had no idea but the owner said it was an error in the system which made them not receive my reservation. I booked a year in advance. Would not give a number for customer service through the hotel.

One woman running the property when I arrived, per the itinerary check-ins begin at 2pm however I arrived I waited for 10 minutes for them to tell me my room was just made ready at 7pm. They attempted to charge me $10 more than my reservation and the toilet in my room was missing its chain so it wouldn't flush. The bed was also the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever slept on. The guests lodging next to my room were very, very loud both in their room and outside in the lot up until 2-3am.

When I arrived America’s Value Inn told me I needed the exact date for them to be able to look up my reservation. They claimed they couldn’t use my name or itinerary number. I even went as far as letting them have my phone & click around on Expedia. I showed them everything I could from you guys. It took my friends & I about 30 minutes of conversation to get checked in. When we got to the hotel room we looked around & what not & at first glance it was okay but a set of wooden drawers was broken, trash stuffed underneath the left mattress, floors under everything unswept. The list goes on. I wouldn’t stay here again but for just staying because I had my bachelorette party it was alright, I was drunk a majority of the time we was there but still. Expedia did a great job however as they always do

As soon as I opened the door the place reaked like a dog kennel. When I flicked the light switch nothing happened so I had to make my way over to the lamp near the door and tried to turn it on but it wasn't even plugged in. Neither was the ac unit. The ac was completely broken with knobs coming off in my hand the the plug had burn marks all over it. The sheets & pillowcases all had stains on it. The manager did give me a can of Febreeze for the smell & luckily I had brought a box fan with me which helped air out the room and deal with the heat. Other than that there was all kinds of large garbage outside by the stairs and in the hallways. I mean, broken water heaters, mattresses, shopping carts with broken microwaves. The whole place was just a hot mess.
The knobs of this unit weren't attached at all.
