Americas Best Value Inn Story City

I reserved a king sized bed. We got two queen sized. But everything else was great.

Key card/card reader problems. Ceiling light functions on and off. Sink plug not functioning, not able to plug drain. Sink and tub drain very slow. General lack of maintenance. Lobby/common areas very cold - 60 degrees according to thermostat. Awful smell of curry throughout common areas. Very limited selections for breakfast. Common use milk jug very susceptible to tampering. No juice. No yogurt. Only white bread. Common use jam/jelly containers, susceptible to tampering. I’ve utilized this facility several times over the previous 25 years. Not again! And not an “Americas Best Value Inn” again with no other choice.

Ok for the price.

On site mexican restaurant.

Ok place to stay on a weekend trip when we just wanted an affordable place near our final destination. Definitely no-frills.

It is a convenient place to stay, rooms clean, and the staff is always friendly.

The bed and pillows were very comfortable and clean! The staff was helpful when the key did not work and when we forgot something in the room, letting us back in to get it. The property needs attention. No security on outside hallway access door... anyone could walk in. Lock on our door did not look like it would hold up to much force. the whole property was VERY run down. Complentary breakfast was late. Hubby went down for coffee, like 7:30 and it was not going yet.

was economical hot water took a long time

We are fans of the America's Best in Clear Lake, Iowa so we gave this place a try. It is a good place to stay and we will be back. Our quibbles are small - maybe larger bath towels? And it was not clear to us if we had on-site recycling for cans and bottles. But the staff was great, room was very very clean and we loved having grab bars ibn the bathroom as one of us is disabled. and we loved the restaurant - very good food and great staff.
