Americas Best Value Inn- Rome

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms and friendly, accommodating staff. The convenient location near major highways ensures easy access to the destination.

Most of our business was in, around, or north of Rome, but this seemed to be the only reasonably-priced motel available convenient to our travels. PROS: The property is clean and neat. The owners are pleasant and helpful. In the tradition of the past, daily tidying of the room, with trash and used bath linens removed. They were very aware of and pro-active about an unusual outdoor bug issue that is plaguing the entire area, with the bugs (neither stinging, biting, nor dangerous) finding their way into the rooms. Every effort was made to prevent them from getting in, and removing them when they did, on a daily basis. Great guest care! Easy access to the property. At least the nights we were there, everyone was quiet and well-behaved. Reasonably priced. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well every night. Plenty of hot water. Plenty of TV channels to view. Great AC! In-room coffee supplies (although it is the common cheap coffee that always smells old). CONS: No freezer in the in-room refrigerator to keep my water frozen for our hours out in the heat and humidity. None of the USB plugs on the wall lamps worked (had to use a wall outlet adapter) for recharging my phone. None of the reading lamps on the wall fixtures worked. One wall lamp didn't work at all. No (alarm) clock. No iron. VERY minimal "continental" breakfast.

AVOID! Where to start? False advertisement... the place was a dump, woman at front desk want 100 bucks CASH as payment for incidental fees to be refunded on checkout. Told her I didn't have it and she said 50 LOL. Got key to the MOTEL room and opened the door to be greeted by the smell of ****. Went back to her and she said all hotels have people that smoke pot (I am with an 8 year old). She got into a shouting match with my wife about that comment. Called Amex and told them do not pay because we were leaving. This place is the type of place you pay by the hour. And it says they offer a free breakfast, that I would love to see!
