“Worst Experience Ever!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

First of all let me start by saying that I know the difference between a 1 star motel and 5 star hotels. I have stayed in both and know that you generally get what you pay for. I was by no means expecting great things from this stay. I was on a roadtrip and just needed a bed to sleep in for 8 hours before hitting the road again. This being said this was the WORST motel that I have ever stayed in. We checked into the room and it was freezing cold. We turned on the heat and ice cold air came blasting out. Thinking that it might just need a few minutes to warm up we turned the heater onto low. Luke warm air eventually came from the vents. When turned up to the high setting it was Ice cold once again. We called the front desk to ask to be switched to a room with a working heater and was told no and that all the heaters only worked on low.
It was the middle of the night in February and the heaters will only blow lukewarm air. We booked the hotel using a third party website so I called them to see what our options were as far as canceling. The third party representative called the hotel and when she was talking to me the Manager called us back on the room phone and told my husband and I that we needed to "leave and go find a Hampton Inn". We checked out 2 minutes later. Unfortunately I have stayed in other Americas Best Value Inn's and never had this kind of experience but because of this I will NEVER stay at another one.

Room Tip: Go anywhere but here!

“Just right for the night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

Salina is a fairly common over-night stop for us on road trips south, usually checking in between 7;00 - 9:00 PM. We have stayed at several other budget hotels in town but, keep coming back to this one. One drawing card is the pull up to the door, outside entry which we highly prefer over the interior corridor hotels. Keep in mind that this is a budget motel, beds aren't fluffy-puffy foo-foo like the big dollar inn's but, they are clean, fresh and adequate. Bathroom is clean and the rooms are spacious. They seem to be doing some updating over the years and the place looks nice. We have never got there early enough to enjoy their outdoor pool but, the area is enclosed within a rock wall and it looks like a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle. Our only contact with any of the staff has just been at check in and they have always been fast and freindly. We're usually up and out of there early so, we have not tried the breakfast, With some restaurants, c-stores, and strip mall nearby, and considering the cost to value, Salina's America's Best Value Inn is just right for the night.

“What you should expect for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

Staff was friendly, the room was clean. Everything was a little dated, sink had a crack, the dresser had writing and scribbles on it, it needed to be reno'd but for the price it was decent. Just don't expect a 3 star at this price and you won't be disappointed.

“HORRIBLE doesn't even begin”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

Terrible stay - we had to stay for 4 nights - rude and uncooperative owners - nothing fixed - how's this - even the candy bar in the vending machine was covered in mold - gross! Would not recommend at all - even for the inexpensive price - wasn't expecting much and got way less - keep on driving!
