Americas Best Value Inn Gainesville, TX

I really appreciated how warmly the staff welcomed me. The rooms were remarkable, and my stay was exceptional. If you're looking for somewhere comfortable to sleep or freshen up and relax, I'd recommend this place.

We stay here for a festival because the savings on the room leave more in the budget for food and beer. It's not a five-star hotel, and we're not expecting that. The rooms aren't flawless, but they're comfortable enough for sleeping and showering. The mattress has a full protective cover, and they've added shampoo and soap dispensers. Dax and the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. They may not always know when a light is out, so check things when you arrive and let them know. They'll fix it.

This is an affordable, low-budget two-star motel, and the room gives you a safe, comfortable place to shower, watch TV, and sleep. It's air-conditioned and clean, with a microwave and mini fridge. If you want more amenities, pay more for a pricier motel. I've read some of the negative reviews, and expectations should match the rate. Toilets clog and bugs exist everywhere. I recently stayed at the four-star Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Tulsa and found a bug in the bathtub. I turned on the water, watched it go down the drain, and went to play blackjack. I didn't write a bad review or accuse them of an infestation. I don't judge a motel by the discrepancies I find. I judge it by how management responds when I tell them. The people running this place work hard and are dedicated to accommodating guests however they can, to give them a quality experience. Darren Ross Lewis

The room worked well for us, housekeeping was great, and the area was very nice and quiet. I have relatives who stay there regularly, and the property manager was very nice. I'll stay there again when I'm in the area.
