Americas Best Value Inn Alachua

Alyssa at the desk was bright and checked me in quickly, and at 2:30 am I was glad to find a room at such a low price. The toilet and bathtub were disgusting, and a lampshade was broken and hanging down. Apart from that, things were basically okay or reasonable. The owners should put profits back into improving the rooms. Clean the toilet, replace the bathtub and fix the lampshade, and this could be a great motel. If you're after a very low price and can live with some problems, you could stay here. Bill

The staff seem to be “on something,” and the lobby smells like weed or something related. The continental breakfast had nothing an adult with a brain cell could eat. The motel feels like it's about to die, with a great location but a decade of upkeep missing. The room was nasty too: peeling walls and footboard, holes in the sheets, curtains falling apart, a cracked sink, a dirty shower, and towels that looked like they'd been used to clean something else. How low can a rating go? Less than one.

I couldn't change rooms because they said all the rooms were the same, and they wouldn't cancel my stay on the spot either. I would've rather slept in my car or on a park bench than in that room. I had to get Expedia involved, and they were VERY supportive and helpful. Great job, Expedia! The photos attached are from the actual room they assigned me, and it was significantly different from the pictures online. There was an overwhelming musty, moldy smell, and the dirty bed looked like someone had just slept in it, judging by the pillows. Less than one star if I could.

Filthy dirty place, with a giant hole in the parking lot and missing roof supports. The beds suck, the tube was clogged, and there was no ice machine. The pool is tiny. The TV didn't work, bulbs were missing, and there were no towels. The price was good, but not for this.
