Oil City doesn't have too much to choose from as far as lodging so we stayed at this ABVI. The room was a little musty but after turning the AC on it was better. The bed was good, free wi-fi was provided, small complimentary breakfast was also provided. I probably would stay here again.

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.

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!

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.
