I stayed here for work. There was a convention in town and this was the only place available on such short notice. NEVER again. 1) Next to a landfill. Not a messy place--literally, a landfill. The TripAdvisor reviews, with all the pictures of the blooming gardens and well maintained grounds neglected to show the huge landfill next door. 2) People... More

Thank you for your comments and sorry for your trouble. We have a heated outdoor pool and do not open it until memorial day. Also we do not have a sign regarding flying ants. Are you sure that you have the right hotel? More

I have to travel to Madison for business conferences about 2 times a month and having been using American Best Value Inn since July. It is easy for me to get to I90 from there. The staff always seems friendly to me and the rooms are clean. I will definately be staying here many more times because it gives me... More

The hallways are tiled so bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper staying in a higher traffic area. For the money it provides what you pay for, a comfy bed, a hot shower, some amenities, nothing noticeably unclean. When possible we travel with pillows from home as we seldom find any we like when using budget travel options... More

A careful read of all the "positive" reviews of this hotel (by reviewers who have written only one review, and all in very similar writing style) convinces me that all of them are being written by the owners/management of the hotel. I have traveled the country in my part-time job and am very familiar with cheap hotels. I would rank... More

Sorry for your trouble. If you would have let us know about the dirty mattress we could have replace it. Since you were staying for a month, you were put into an extended stay room. These rooms are discounted since they are not yet updated like the daily rooms. Extended stay room rates average about half the cost of a... More

Not sure why this one is ranked up. We weren't expecting much, but didn't get that. The AC was blowing (in October) and couldn't be controlled; we just unplugged it. The free wifi didn't work. The ceiling in the bathroom was bubbling up. The halls are tiled, which might appeal to some people, but it does nothing to muffle sounds,... More

Thank you for your review. If you would have let the front desk know of your problems with the a/c and the internet not working, they could have moved you to another room. Normally on a sell out night, if the internet was not working the front desk would get several complaints from several customers. The front desk could have... More

I spent two nights in this place and when I arrived the first thing I noticed is the area smells because it is set next to a landfill. As I checked in I could see the common areas where very old, warn, and dirty, but nothing a little hard work and paint couldn’t fix. The rood was not very clean... More

Regarding the incident with employees: I did some investigation and found the front desk clerk that was working at the time of your incident with the employees eating in the breakfast area.

This hotel is older but hard to find a good value for the money these days. The bed was very nice and cozy with contemporary triple sheeting with comforter. The breakfast was very special including cook to order omelets. The room was very clean with nice plank flooring. I will be back.

Very nice stay. Although the hotel is older, it is very clean and comfortable. The beds are very comfy and nice, and the plank wood flooring in the room is clean and modern. The breakfast is amazing. I don't remember the last time I had a free full hot breakfast as nice as this. I will be back. If your... More
