“Satisfactory quality and service. Great boardwalk to watch surfers.”

We chose this one knowing it might be a sticky wicket, having read other reviews. We got a top floor room. It was clean; the linens were good; the bed was comfortable; the carpet was fine; there were no issues. The walls appeared to be freshly painted. The bathroom was clean and functional. We stayed one night for a trip down the coast. From a woman's standpoint, I would have liked a second large towel for myself, but can certainly make do when necessary. If the hotel can acheive this level of cleanliness in the rest of the rooms, the manager will do fine.

“Awful Experience...Unsanitary, Unprofessional , and Rude!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

We had a reservation for a single smoking room. After we checked in, we brought our bags to the room and took a quick look around. In the corner there was a pile, literally a pile of spit/loogies/I don't know what in the corner of the room. Very gross and unsanitary. We went to the front desk and let them know that housekeeping must have over looked it and asked for another smoking room. He said there was another room but would not give it to us because it was two queen beds instead of one and would cost more...not our problem. Also found it a little suspicious that the guy's business card only had his first name, not his last. Would never recommend staying at this location. Totally UNPROFFESIONAL!!!!!

“Yuck”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2010

On March 22 my family and I stayed at the Americas Best Value Inn at Pacifica, California. The Inn supposedly got a 4-check rating, as shown on the brochure. Instead, we discovered accommodations that were substandard. The carpet was not only dirty, but was unraveled badly and needed to be replaced. The bedding was torn and looked old. There was lots of mold/mildew around the windows and on the shower curtain. And the place had an odor to it. The "breakfast" the next morning was a joke. Considering that we had just stayed in another hotel (in the San Francisco Bay area) the night before that was a lot nicer, not only in condition, cleanliness, and amenities for $20 less, the name "America's Best Value Inn" seemed a misnomer, at best.

Based on what we experienced, we will avoid this chain in the future.

“Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2010

ROOM 201
Yes the price was right but the money I saved I had to spend on Alot of laundry soap,Doctor Visit,medicine's,bed bug rid products & alot of water used on all my laundry & bedding when I got home to prevent the FEAR of bringing them home with me..
I was up all night long, feeling like something was on me, when I got up in the morning I jumped up, went to the bathroom & there were so many bites coveringmy body & face.
I was attacked & feasted on like a smorgasbord!!!
I had the feeling of getting bites for 2 days,I was creeped out & grossed out!!!
A lesson I have learned after researching upon getting home, always look in the seams of the mattressess for any eveidence of Bed Bugs..

Our stay at Americas Best Value Inn was truly a best value! Our room was thoroughly cleaned once a day, and we never worried about room or vehicle security. The staff was always ready to help make our stay as pleasant as possible. We will definitely stay there again when we go back to Pacifica or the Bay area!
