The bed was uncomfortable with springs which poked all night, the wall paper torn, the light switch in the bathroom needs to be re-installed as one of the switches was not flush with the plate, the...

I'm surprised at some of the clean remarks about this hotel because that is not what I found. Maybe it is dependent on the room or whom cleaned the room. Definitely do not stay here if it's a prolong stay or traveling with kids. We needed to obtain a government rate and this is the only place providing that rate,... More

Having lived in the bay area for my entire life, abeit the past 6 years, I drove to the coast city of Pacifica (8-miles south). My GPS showed "Americ'a Best Value Inn". I stopped, and found the price affordable.... More

The room I stayed in had mold around the windows--a lot of it. The heater didn't work. The carpet was badly stained. The tub/shower had nothing to prevent slipping, or to hold on to if you lost your balance. The bathroom was generally discusting. The attendant seemed to pretent that he didn't understand English. The worst place I've ever stayed,... More

Forget the big sign on the front of the building-it's never applicable! Had to telepone the place to even raise a live person! Ridiculous!
