Americas Best Value Inn

Good location, close to everything. Comfortable bed. Clean room. Not enough parking, my friend had to park his truck on the street overnight.

I requested a smoking room which my confirmation verified, however when I arrived I was informed that they had no smoking rooms at all... not just available, at all!!!! This is very hard on a smoker when you request a smoking room!

At times it was loud with other guests coming and going in the wee hours of the morning and an occasional police siren passing by. Parking not sufficient if no vacancy. Perfect location to local attractions and local ethnic restaurants.

What a DIVE! Guest chairs in the lobby were thread bare. Continental breakfast was coffee, orange juice and a packaged danish. Complimentary newspaper was one shared newspaper in the lobby. Door to the room showed light on one side and under the door. Furniture was old and "distressed". Bathroom sink was new with granite counter top, but installed by a third grader - a half inch gap on the front right side - not level. Faucet loose in the mounting holes, one faucet handle missing. Bathroom floor uneven showing signs of water leaks and damage. Shower fixture wouldn't stop dripping - water ran down the top of the tub onto the floor, hence the water damage. Screw holes in the wall where the hairdryer was supposed to be. (When day manager was asked for a hairdryer, none could be found.) No wash cloths and small, old bath towels. Swimming pool dirty and cold. YUK! Please REMOVE this hotel from your list!!!

What can I say about the America's Best Value Inn that isn't automatically assumed in the price? After finding the hotel, we checked in where the man in the office gave us our key and our tv remote. I can't say that I've ever stayed in a place where they're afraid to leave the remote in the room. The room itself was ok. It definitley needed a deep cleaning. There were ants in the shower and strange white stains on the curtains and ceiling. The biggest problem was the pluming. Right away there was an issue. We went to the office to tell the man that the pluming wasn't working properly and asked if they could fix it or be moved to another room. He said that there was no one around to fix it and that all the other rooms were full. He handed us a plunger and wished us good luck. Being a self sufficient person, I proceeded to try to fix the problem with no luck. We spent the rest of the stay without a working toilet. Both beds were hard as a rock and we woke up with stiff necks and sore backs. I will not stay there again. In my opinion, the biggest problem wasn't the pluming, but the lack of service. You don't hand a hotel guest a plunger and expect them to fix your pluming on their vacation. I am not usually one to complain, but in the interest of anyone else considering this hotel, I must warn you.

The small refirgerator and microwave were helpful.

easy to find off the 101 on sunset blvd.. only 8 bucks to hollywood blvd. Fabulous thai right next door and shops all within walking distance. Being on the main road it was a bit noisy but hey your in LA !! very good value for money.

driving up to the hotel., it looked dirty [*]. when we were cheking in, there was just a huge pile of trash sitting in the parking lot. not a good first impression. The service here is terrible. Absolutely rude and unfriendly. totally not helpful. When we first walked into the room, the lights did not work. we promptly went back and got another room. Room was tiny and smelly. thanks goodness we brought our own blankets because i dont think they EVER wash the bed covers. also, our toilet leaked and they wouldnt fix it. To top it off, we found out that this hotel has the most cheap, uncaring manager/owner that we have ever encountered. What happened? Well, we had to leave a day early because of an extreme emergency (aka our house was broken into!!) and they would NOT refund us for the night we couldnt stay, even though it was before checkout time. they said they already closed the room for reservations and we should have notified 2 days in advance. [*]! how the heck are we supposed to know 2 days in advance that we would be robbed and must leave and of course they could rent it out, they had the whole day.. its called "walk-ins"!! plus, we had already stayed there for 4 nights so its not like they didnt get alot of our money already!! Horrible, horrible staff. i cannot say that enough. DO NOT give them your business! unless you want rude staff, smelly, dirty rooms, and a less-than-stellar location. Shame on you Americas Best Value Inn!

we went to unerversal studio
