Americas Best Value Inn Alachua

"This is the most disgusting hotel I have ever stepped into, totally gives off Gordon Ramsay Hotel Hell vibes. I was traveling through Florida and needed a place to stop in for the night because I could not continue my drive because of the weather. I checked in around 1:20am and checked out at 1:25am. Upon opening the door the room had a musty smell. I immediately checked the sheets, as I do with every hotel I check into. Looks like it wasn't washed in years. Stains everywhere of all different shades of the rainbow. The bathroom was filthy. Stains in the tub and toilet. Unidentifed matter splattered on the walls. Dust and hair on the counter tops and the top of the microwave. Definitely a health hazard! To stay in one of their rooms you need to wear a hazmat suit. I understand that it's more of a motel than a hotel but they are definitely risking their guests health by allowing them to use their accommodations. It should be shut down immediately! Days later I am unable to get my refund. The staff on site on check in was really friendly and accommodating. Apparently the manager is supposed to issue the refund. I was unable to get a hold of him for days. I booked through a third party and asked them to help with my refund. They said they got a hold of the manager but he was "incredibly rude and hung up the phone." I would not recommend that anyone stays here. I wish I could give this place zero stars! DO YOUR JOB AS A MANAGER OF A HOTEL! THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AMERICAS BEST VALUE! DO BETTER!"

"I was reading reviews from other guests and most of the bad reviews just seemed not to be true. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Of course this is not a five star hotel, and to all the people giving it bad reviews I just think your wrong. This place is a motel not the Ritz Carlton so stop acting like it should be. Like I said Great Staff, fairly quiet considering it's close to the interstate and busy 441. If I'm ever in the area I will not hesitate trying to book a room here again. Thank you to the staff and owners for making my stay pleasant and enjoyable."

"Been staying here with my wife and four kids most on the time I’m at work and wife out dashing we’re barely at the room other than night. Well we been getting hassled about having us through r trash in the dumpster around back to not use there trash cans cause they always overflowing which in are case maybe one small Walmart bag r two is from use but still they want use to do it I Reyes telling them maybe they should empty them once a day but obviously that to much for them they only do it once r twice a week. Then when comes to room service one week they say they gotta do it once a day and another week lucky to get them to service room once that week we had good comments that we keep room clean but like a said they can’t maintain a schedule always make it inconvenient for us now once we get home are early and the morning we gotta go do there job for them and take r trash to dumpster.. just that when paying for a room there was accommodation that’s hotel we easily make ur problem . Only good thing it’s it cheap and not far from my work. Poof and just like that they kick me and the kids out in the rain for this review."

"Do not waste you money nor risk your health staying here. This “hotel” was DISGUSTING. There were roaches crawling all over the walls, out from under the AC vent, on our BED, the furniture was broken when we walked in. You can also tell there has been water damage to the room. I took pictures of everything and went back to the front desk to ask for a refund after I was charged a “$50” deposit to ensure the room was not damaged upon my departure and then another $95 to stay in the room. I went and talked to Christopher and asked to be move to another room or my money back and there was nothing he could do because a manager was not there. This place needs to be shut down. It is unsanitary and uninhabitable."

"We got two rooms for three days because we had a hurricane come through and we needed a place to stay. The frig didn’t work but the freezer did and there was a can of beer in the freezer so when they cleaned the room they didn’t check the freezer then we checked out a day early because our power was back on. This was august 312023 and I still have not gotten my security deposite back or the money for checking out early. I will never stay there again especially not being refunded for my room and security deposit! And when you call the hotel you get hung up on because their phone system is messed up."
