We have stayed at many America's Best Value Inns and been very satisfied with our experience, but our stay in Starkville, MS was deplorable, and if we had never stayed at this chain before, we would certainly never do it again! Our experience included: electrical outlets with no covers that had to be jiggled to access electricity; shower faucet was reversed with no indication of the discrepancy, which resulted in not having hot water for showers; coffee pot was in room but no electrical appliance to brew it; no alarm clock; continental breakfast consisted of stale muffins and cereal and was not available until 7:45 am on our second day; trash, beer bottles on the grounds; broken marble slab lying on ground; tiles were hanging from the ceiling and the metal frame they were to fit in was bent so they could not be reinserted; Value Club membership was unfamiliar to staff and not honored; wireless internet did not work first night; room cards were rekeyed in our absence even though we were still residing there and staff had to be contacted to get in. Our experience speaks for itself--a very poor representation of this hotel chain and management.

This hotel is a DUMP!!! We checked in with 4 other families for a football weekend trip. Our room had garbage under the bed, under and in the sleeper sofa, and behind the dresser. And it had roach droppings in the sleeper. And I had to ask them twice to clean it up!! AND ours wasn't even the worse room - one other couple had a used condom on the floor in their room!!!! (they did switch rooms, but they were all dirty).

We had no other choice but to stay here since it was a busy football game weekend so everyone went to the Dollar store and bought our own sheets to sleep on.

I will definitely never stay in another America's Best Value hotel again - anywhere!!! There is no VALUE in sleeping in nastiness!!! This owner has no concept of customer satisfaction!!! Therefore, I will not give them the satisfaction of making another $$ off of me!!!

P.S. I see at the bottom of this review where I could attach pictures....had I known that this weekend I could have taken pictures that would definitely turn you away from this hotel!!!

DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU JUST REALLY ONLY CARE ABOUT A CHEAP PLACE TO SLEEP!!!

I stayed at this hotel because the only other one near MSU that had any vacancies was outrageous in price. I realize there are some bad reviews and its obvious that hotel management has taken everything into consideration and is doing renovations. Our room had been recently painted. It was clean and had a fresh clean smell to it. I would suggest that they get new linens or atleast change detergent because the linens were scratchy. I did not get much sleep because the bed was extremely hard and needed new pillows. Overall the experience was okay and served the pupose of a cheap, clean hotel for a one night stay to drop my daughter off at MSU. The front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful.

This motel is old but that does not bother me. The fact that it is not kept up is what bothered me. It needs paint, it needs outside maintenance. It would be a wonderful place to stay if it just had a facelift. It is right across the street from Harvey's and close to the University. The bathroom was really nice! I just wish the rest of the motellooked as good. We asked for extra pillows and they were waiting for us when we got back from dinner. The staff was very nice. We were told that breakfast would be ready at 7:00 but by 7:30 we finally left and went to Shipleys as there was only dry cereal and packaged pastry, no milk, no coffee. All in all I think this would be a great motel if they would just spend a little money and add some little touches like, clean the furniture, fitted sheets........Because it was graduation we spent $151.00 for this room, a bit overpriced if you ask me!
