We decided to go find snow one winter evening, and decided to stay in the Chehalis/Centralia area because of the random snow accumulation. We have passed Americas Best Value Inn many times while driving down Interstate 5 and we have wanted to stay there for a long time due to the view of the lake. Call us crazy, but we... More

We stayed here for 1 night during our 3-weeks-northwestern tour. The Motel is right next to the freeway but wasn´t as noisy as expected when we arrived. There was nobody at the front desk upon arrival. After about 10 minutes waiting and ringing the bell (we already thought about leaving and finding a place where they love to have guests)... More

It was dirty and gross and smelled. Just go into town there is a motel 6 right to the left and it is probably a lot better and the same price. The breakfast was just a waffle maker with no waffle mix. the sign says $45 a night, but that is only during the week and only one person. We... More

We just completed a 5 night stay and enjoyed the motel. The motel is located right next to the freeway off-ramp and faces a nice little lake. This is a budget hotel and worth considering. Sign reads $45.00 a night, but we paid more because of the weekend stay and it being prime vacation time. Breakfast is waffles, Otis's muffins,... More

We arrived around 10:00 PM and checked in. Raj, the man running the front desk, seemed nice at first. After loading into our room on the second floor, things seemed okay, though the floor was a bit dirty. I discovered the door on the other side of the room was completely unlocked. Odd, right? I got a plastic cup to... More

My spouse and I stayed here with friends for one night only. This motel was possible the dirtiest motel we've ever stayed in.

Deceiving photos sum it up. Dirty carpet, overpowering sprayed room freshener, holes in sheets, odds smelling linens, grimy windows overlooking lake and a general lack of attention to details make you wonder what is not so noticeably evident. Pay a few more dollars for accommodation with management who cares and reads the reviews and tries to make corrections. Not sure... More
