“Billed & had a Cancellati​on #”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

was going on a trip to GW09 and booked this motel a few months ago and then an other geocaching event came up in Cincinatti OH and I desided to go there :) Well I canceled my Americas best resveration on 4-11-11 and have a Cancellation number from them ! but yet they billed my credit card on the 5th of July.So I called them and they took all of my info and said someone would call me saturday or monday,well no one called me back and I called them tonight 11:00pm and the lady was very rude to me saying they were busy and told me not to call back again ! ! Well I deside to let my credit card company dispute the charge with them since I used the same card and was 600 miles away at an other motel in KY and have a cancellation # from americas best. I will give this plase a thumbs down just because of the service I had on the phone with them(manager).Look for an other Oil City motel and watch the charges to your credit card if you deside to stay in this place.

“It is a Best Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

We travel to this area yearly to ride our bikes on the various Rails to Trails in the area. This is our third stay at the Americas Best Value Inn. It is set in a charming location right along the Allegheny River, The rooms are standard, but clean, and our room with 2 beds was under $100/night. The Inn provides a small continental breakfast along with a coffee maker in the room. We were able to enjoy the river front pool this time as the weather was perfect. The front desk was very accomodating with my questions about dinner options in the local area. Also, there is a full service restaurant and lounge in the Inn which we did not dine at this year, but have in the past. We will return here next year, no problem!

“This hotel was great, meeting all our needs and in a very pleasant downtown location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2010

person found this review helpful

America's Best Value Inn and Suites has been a hotel chain we have used once before. Both experiences were very good. In Oil City we arrived after a drive which began in CT....a very long day. It was a pleasure to find an excellent restaurant in the hotel itself...no going to Mickey D's or casting about for a suitable eatery! We ate there both nights. And the breakfast buffet! The waffle maker was the best we've encountered--that alone will bring my husband back! And there was a fine variety of toastables, cereals and fruits.

The room was generous in size--two double beds, fridge, table and chairs, plenty of room to set up our computers with no cumbersome access codes. Our dog was very happy to have plenty of room for her bed too under the generous extended vanity counter outside the bathroom

. The hotel is set adjacent to a lovely park at the side of the Allegheny River so we were able to walk in very pleasant circumstances with the river and sculptures on our route.

Being downtown we were in walking distance to many historic buildings from the period when oil was discovered and we enjoyed the present uses of some buildings--National Transit building as an artists' enclave with studios and shops and the old post office a science museum. We will plan to return to the in with it's very pleasant and attentive staff on our next trip to visit relatives in IN.

“Pretty Decent Hotel for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

My wife, 2yo son, and I were travelling to visit friends in the area on Labor Day Weekend, even with a late booking, we were able to get a room at this hotel. Location is pretty good, there is a McDonald's next door in case you don't want the hotel restaraunt or breakfast (we never tried either, just due to timing). Granted, this hotel wasn't the Ritz or a resort, but for being a pretty cheap hotel, it was not a dissapointment. Rooms were quite clean, didn't have any problems with neighbors, staff was friendly when we dealt with them. I can agree parts of the hotel had a "musty" smell...namely the elevators, which are old style, wood panelling. I didn't have an issue with the smell, but my wife who was pregnant had to hold her breath a little. Hallways had an odd smell to me, but that could also be because half of them are outside, half enclosed, but the doors to the enclosed part are left open.

The only negative I can offer is the toilet flushing was kind've weak, so you had to flush multiple times.

We were just looking for a room to stay in, so our expectations weren't too high, but this was certainly better than most non-chain hotel/motel places I have seen. The price was definitley better than most places to stay in the area.

“Good hotel, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Having read some bad reviews of this hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. Our room had a beautiful river view, overlooking parkland. The price was possibly higher than warranted, but I could not fault the room--large, clean, with comfortable beds and furnishing. The bathroom was equipped with excellent bars fto assist the disabled in the bath, though the one by the toilet was unstable and possibly dangerous if needed for full support. Dinner and service in the restaurant were outstanding, and continental breakfast very good, with good choice, including waffles. Whatever we requested--extra pillows, towels, etc., we received willingly.There is obviously an upgrade going on, but disturbance minimal and result good. As a disabled visitor, I found the sets of double doors, with no automatic openers, very difficult, even though I had someone with me. The owner was not helpful in this regard, although he was usually sitting at the desk; he appeared oblivious to our plight. A wheelchair traveller on his own could not manage in the hotel as it is. All in all, I would recommend this hotel as a good experience. The owners are obviously determined to improve and upgrade. Well done.
