Americas Best Value Inn Anderson, SC

It was clean, but we didn’t choose this place and wouldn’t have picked it ourselves. The bed felt like a stack of cardboard, and the pillows were flat, hard, and wouldn’t scrunch up. The bathroom was tiny too, which would be uncomfortable if you’re a bigger person.

My friend was the one staying there, though I spent several hours in her room. She left for another hotel once her husband and son arrived. They were in town for her father’s funeral, and she didn’t want her son there.

A decent place to get a cozy room if you’ve been driving all night and just need somewhere to stop before hitting the road again. The rooms were fairly clean, though the tubs had stains.

After booking online, I arrived to a woman who seemed pretty annoyed. She kept offering me a smoking room, and I didn’t realize places still had those. The room had a urine smell, though I couldn’t tell if it was from a person or an animal, mixed with a smell like Indian food. It really needs updating.
