Americas Best Value Inn Grayson

Rooms were not clean, bathroom ceiling fan missing, just a hole in the ceiling. All towels mismatched Carpets dirty Smelled like cigarettes and stale air Run down building in serious need of repair

We booked for 2 nights for a concert festival that was in the area. The facility was dated, the breakfast was okay, & the staff was friendly. All that said, the management and owners really should fix the issues. The room we were in was in awful condition & is by far the worst place we have ever stayed. It had just "had the AC fixed", which sometimes blew cold air, but mostly hot air. The mattresses were dated, & mattress covers very worn with holes but looked clean (no bed bugs). The sheets & towels had some stains (usually doesn't faze me much, but taking everything else into account gave me some pause). The furniture had obvious wear & tear, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls & following my 11 y.o. taking a shower, we found that there were cockroaches living behind the wallpaper. I don't mean just a few either; we killed over 50 of them just in 1hr. My 15 y.o. son, decided to sleep our van after we moved all of our things back out (only 1.5hr after arriving), & because it was 2:30 AM, we slept in the room with only the clothes on our backs, & still found one roach in our van. Thankfully, I had read some reviews & brought Lysol, which served a dual purpose of killing roaches & cleaning the surfaces & air in the place. We thought that it may have been isolated to our room, since the AC had been broken, but upon asking other guests all the other rooms had similar issues. We were refunded 1 night's stay after much hassle & I'm calling the health dept.to report it.

The room size. Being able to have pets

My bed bed spread had dog Trax all over it. The toilet had crap stains on the lid. And the bathroom floors were sticky

We have stayed here several ither times but this time the first room was musty smelling, it had stain on the bed linings, cobweb on the ceiling. The room they changed us too was a little better but they need to paint and get new tubs. A little work to the front rooms like they did the back would be great. The second room did have new matresses and those were good.

It was loud and could see daylight coming thru when you shut the door. Curtains didn’t completely shut. Also steps getting up to the room were falling apart and unsafe.

Our room needed a couple of repairs like a loose toilet seat but it was clean and

Staff very nice

There was no remote for the tv in our room. There was a dirty washcloth lying behind the bathroom door from whomever stayed there before us. It is older and run down
