The staff were friendly. We had a 1 queen room and it was roomy. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. It was a good location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. There was no noise from outside, so we slept well. The breakfast was your typical free breakfast: waffles, cereal, pastries, bagels, coffee, juice and boiled eggs. It was nice for the price. I deducted one star, because the refrigerator was not working. We would stay again.

This is hardly a 5-star room BUT I didn't need a fancy room because I was busy at the SURF DISTRICT & BALLROOM & barely there. I gave this room an EXCELLENT because it offered what I truly NEEDED. 1.A FABULOUS HOT, GREAT PRESSURE SHOWER, 2. Enjoyable free breakfast & COFFEE, 3. PET FRIENDLY, 4. VERY friendly staff. The owners/managers (probably hubby & wife) did everything possible to make my stay pleasant. I have traveled all over the country, stayed in 5-star hotels & dives as well. The shower here was THE BEST I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THANK YOU!!

The staff were wonderful. We got caught in the blizzard Sunday Dec 28. I 35 was closed at the clear lake exit and I booked us a room at Americas best value inn. There was a long line up of people hoping to get a room. The staff stayed calm and polite as one by one they got us all checked in. The next morning there was a lovely breakfast and hot coffee all ready for us. The lady that was doing everything (from what I could tell) was so friendly and hard working. I would stop at this hotel again.
