Potholes in parking lot. Lack of internet access in rooms unless you can pick up weak slow unsecured Wifi from the nearby Quality Inn or Red Roof Inn. You can't expect much from cheap places but I'd stay here again if they only had internet access in the rooms.

We stayed in here two years ago. They had just finished the re-module and it was clean. Two years makes a huge difference! Parking was a mess. The room reeked of cigarette smoke (suppose to be a non-smoking room!), there were numerous stains in the carpet along with holes in it as well. The door had huge spaces between the... More

I stayed at americas best before in Grand Junction. So I thought it would be cheap with great service. Boy was I wrong. The tenant next door was drunk at 2am, he started pounded the door at 4am. I had no WiFi in my room and asked to be relocated soon after. The cost is affordable at 38.00 but for... More

I stayed there because I was looking for a cheap place to stay, and cheap it was. We didn't have much of a problem with anything, parking was a nightmare! Two trucks had us cornered in! It was a good thing they left early that morning before us. People were outside everywhere, and we heard people talking all the time!... More

We were there for the UGA/Missouri game this past weekend. Everything else in town was booked. If you can find somewhere else to stay you should. That said, I suppose it was affordable in comparison to other motels in the area. If you need something that is cheap, spend more and stay somewhere else.

This hotel is more of living quarters for most unfortunately. Cops where either coming or going. Parking lot and parking was poor. Had a real "ghetto" feel to it. And to top it all off, i got staph infection whilst staying there. Never again will i stay there. Disgusting.
