I Fled With It Paid THROUGH TRIP
I had three more nights booked and left I felt my life was in danger perhaps the bullet hole on the door and the broken security latch had something to do with that.

Would not recommend this place for anyone. It’s directly next to a busy highway so if you’re planning on sleeping at all, good luck. Refused to give a refund when we realized we didn’t want to stay there. The rooms were terrible, tv was broken, bathtub was god awful, the fan in the bathroom sounded like a broken car running.

Dump but a bed to sleep on
They redid the rooms but stopped at bathroom, moldy wall, vanity light didnt work, our door didnt close well and was so loud to open. Also the room cleaners didnt speak english so they had to use app to tell them not to go in our room. And paid a deposit to secure room and then when got there they wanted another $50 cash deposit, and had to ask for it back at check out cause they acted like didnt give one. Was convenient for the location but prob wouldnt stay here again

The hot water in tub would not turn on. Tub was filthy. The hotel is right by the on-ramp to interstate and was very noisy all night. There was no restroom to use until we got checked into our room. The manager was not polite about it either. After traveling across the country, this was the worst hotel we stayed in. It was the only hotel that had no breakfast available. They had us pay a $40 cash deposit and would not give us a receipt for this. They were very unprofessional and I would never stay there again. They turned the elevator off that evening and could not get it turned back on the next morning so we had to carry our luggage down 3 flights of stairs. I’ve got health problems and this was not an easy task.

My daughter and I could not stay at this hotel. It was the worst place I’ve ever seen. And I couldn’t get my money back This “hotel” should not even be on Expedias website. The room was disgusting. There was a punch hole on the bathroom door. It smelled of dog and smoke. It was dirty and unsafe.

Truly the best value
I enjoyed my 1-night stay and the room truly was the best value I could find in the perfect location for my trip. The staff was helpful and held on to my bags for me on my last day. I had to leave a $20 deposit for nonsmoking room, and they gave it back to me when I checked out. The hotel is older, has some issues, but is being refreshed. The new owners put in laminate floors, painted, new bedding, and are fixing up things. Some things still need attention, like cigarette burns on the toilet seat. My room looked like the picture. Although the hotel is right across the street from the 5-star Fairmont for +$400/night, they are both next to the busy freeway overpass, and the area in general is kind of sketchy. I would not walk farther north of these hotels. The arch is about a mile south through the touristy area.

DO NOT STAY HERE. We arrived thinking we could survive a cheap stay but left after 10 minutes. Barbed wire, sketchy characters everywhere, almost under an overpass, room wreaked of smoke with cigarette burns in the bedding (in our non smoking room), and there were stains everywhere… pay the extra hundred bucks elsewhere

Do not stay!
The look of the building was so uninviting that our guests would rather drive the 3 hours home than to stay. The pictures online made us feel like the hotel was more comforting.

OK for the value
The bed was super comfortable and a relief after a long day. The main living space nice, but the bathroom really needed upgrading & deep cleaning. The toilet leaked & the shower clogged. Lucky the bathroom door shut to kept the noise out. Sadly not the noise from the other guest outside. The staff was super nice & helped with my luggage to my 3rd floor room because the elevator was not working!

Review of Americas Best Value Inn, St. Louis Downt
Cleanliness was average, however, getting a good night's sleep was very difficult - it seemed that there was a lot of conflict between other guests throughout the 2 nights I was there. These fights were very audible and annoying, and woke me up several times. Finally, I had to change my travel plans and check out one day early. I asked the desk clerk if he could refund me for that unused last night. He then asked me for a tip, which I promptly gave him. He printed out a refund confirmation, however, no such refund has been applied to my credit card (as of today's date - 5 days later).

Quite run down...
Maybe it was good at some point in the very distant past... Hotel is in terrible condition, the pictures are staged, so don't even look at those. Coffee in the morning? Forget it! Cleanliness? Forget it! Holes in the carpet? Sure! The walls with peeling and damaged paint? Sure. While it seems that amenities are there and the room has microwave and refrigerator, I didn't even open them, just based on the other things... Granted that hotel location is in downtown St. Louis and in great proximity to highway entrance plays in its favor, I can't possibly recommend this to anyone. The only exception is if you are passing through and concerned about price, you can stay there...
