Americas Best Value Inn - Chico

This property is located in a sketchy neighborhood. The parking lot is extremely small. The room was extremely dated and in need of multiple repairs. There were cigarette holes in the comforter on the bed. I witnessed a man make multiple drug sales in the parking lot throughout the night. I would not recommend this property.

Major issues with people sleeping in there cars in the parking lot and openly doing drugs in the parking lot too.

We are from out of town, visiting our college daughter. When I booked this hotel, I thought it was probably comparible to a similar value motel--which was completely fine, pretty good even! Boy I was wrong. Our Room was absolutely filthy, the mirrors were smudged with makeup, and spit. The backroom floors had crumbs and dirt and there was old matches that had been lit sticking out of the side of the mirror. The bed was lopsided, and felt like sleeping on a foam pad over a piece of wood. Everything smelled like smoke even though it was a non smoking room, and there were no towels= we had to go downstairs and ask for towels. Awful, would never stay here again. Sketchy people all around, hanging out in the parking lot, and one woman was hanging out on the stair case to our room, so we had to ask her to move everytime to please move her radio, art supplies, and all her things everytime we passed. I'm surprised they don't charge by the hour.

This is an older motel in downtown Chico, so the decor is a little dated and the rooms are showing their age. I’d say this is an OK place, given the price, location and free parking. I had noisy neighbors (until 2 am) above me, but that was just bad luck. Didn’t hear or see other problems with guests. Check-in ws fast and easy; guy behind the desk was very nice.

Overall this hotel is atrocious and no one should stay there, ever. But even the worst hotel (and this is) have a few things going for them, so here they are: 1) location - it is in downtown Chico within walking distance of the university 2) the sheets were clean and the mattress was comfortable 3) the parking lot was brightly lit 4) the front desk clerk was friendly and helpful Do not in any way let those 4 things lead you to believe that this hotel is ok, because isn't. This hotel is DIRTY and DISGUSTING. There was dirty laundry in the closet, a clearly used-for-s*x towel behind the door, the floors were too dirty to walk on, and the real kicker is that the shower and tub were completely unusable. By unusable I mean there was a hole in the wall in place of the contraption that would send water out of the shower head, and there was no plug to use it as a tub. I asked to use an iron, which they gave me, but it was filthy. The ironing board was broken. The cabinet doors were broken. The sink was stained. The mirrors were dirty. I stayed at this hotel out of sheer desperation because my original reservation was lost (either by the hotel or hotels.com, not sure which) and every other hotel near the college was sold out due to"family weekend". I was there to visit my daughter so location was my #1 priority. This hotel is gross. Trust me. BTW - I have spent 30-50 nights a year in hotels every year for 20+ years and have never left a bad review.

No Internet. Having to use the security window early in the evening makes me wonder about safety. Other people's hairs in the bathroom

The ac in the rooms were not good. Me and my kids were really hot all day. Was told room ac worked really good. Hope you guys fix that. Other than that rooms were great breakfast was decent and pool was fun! Great housekeepers and front desk worker was super friendly!

It was awful. No towels. Dead flies all over. I had to leave

Bathroom was dirty, there was hair all everywhere. Bed was dingy and felt every spring in the mattress. Not a comfortable room at all.

Good location, very cold AC, probably the dirtiest motel room I've ever been in. There was a maxi pad on the floor next to the toilet. The floors were covered in dirt, grime, hair, and stains from who knows what. Fridge and microwave worked. The room smelled like mold after a shower, and no soap or shampoo were provided. Overall, way too expensive for how disgusting it was.

This was the worst hotel room I've ever stayed in. There were cigarette burns (holes) in the bedspread and burns in sink and on vanity. The walls were dirty (dirty fingerprints). The bathroom was especially disgusting. Squeaky bed coils. Ugghhh. There was nothing in the shampoo/conditioner in the dispenser, no tissues in the box dispenser (Only white fabric that was stuffed in the dispenser). Could not get out of the room fast enough.

The only thing good I can say about the place was the young man that checked us in. He was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the room, it was dirty. The shower curtain was all dirty and stained. There were no towels. The refrigerator didnt work and there was old food in it. In one of the drawers there was a big dirty stain and used straws. In the closet, the extra blanket was literally just thrown on shelf not folded and there were cigarettes on the floor. The floorl didnt look vaccumed or moped in bathroom. Lastly, the walls were dusty and dirty all along bottom.

Room was not clean Bes sheets and covers for dirty and smelled

Nice check-in/desk guy. Bathroom had not been cleaned before our stay. Dirt on floor and hair in tub. One of two beds had very squeaky springs. Other bed was comfy. TV worked well.

Filthy floors, stained sheets, squeaky mattress. This is a terrible property.

room was absolutely filthy and falling appart

I find the pictures to be very misleading. The room smelled like cigarettes and Indian food, and the comforters have stains on them. There were no towels in the bathroom, and the room was so tiny. You could barely fit two people in it. Is right next to the road and has almost no shade, so once again amazing work by the photographer. There are no chairs or a simple table in the room.

Just lay on your bed once! It squeeks with any tiny move ment. No sheet stays on. The botom sheet was a complete joke.

Nothing worked. The tv, the wifi, my room key and the lights did not work snd i switched rooms and things still didn't work

Great location. Walking distance from downtown. It’s old and in bad shape though. Merely a bed and a shower. Probably a bit overpriced still.

Good location and reasonable price. it needs renovation.

Really great front desk staff. The young man who was a Chico state student was great 10/10. Room was not super clean & it was dated....but what can you expect? Definitely a budget hotel. You can walk to campus within 15 minutes, downtown in 5. Great location

The young man at the desk was very nice and quickly moved me to to another room when I asked. The second room, although having more light, was really shabby. The bedspread (it was a no smoking room) had burn holes and you could feel the springs through the mattress. I was hoping I could attach photos to show you the bathroom! Cracked tile, ugly yellow stains all around the sink and toilet and the tub/shower had awful stains too. It was graduation weekend so I expected the price to reflect that, but $250 a night for a dump like this is outrageous.I do want to give kudos to the two staff members I dealt with- they were friendly and very helpful.

Great staff great people and they go above and beyond to help make your stay as simple as possible.

Expedia canceled my reservation, but the front desk made sure I got a room. My tv wasnt working and fthe front dek took care of it quickly. The staff is awesome which makes this place awesome!

Hippy check in guy was awesome and friendly. The room is what you expect at this price point. It's rough but it was clean and staff seemed eager to assist with anything. Good little place to bail for a night and party in Chico. You can walk everywhere.

Well there is clean and always has coffee and front deck respond asap. We like that we feel important .

The people were extremely nice. But I arrived a little early and they gave me a room which apparently didn’t log it. So at 5 AM there were two people trying to get into my room thank god I had the extra lock in place. Then the shower didn’t work and when I notified them they went in to fix it. So my second morning it still didn’t work.

Room had no soap or shampoo - asked, and they gave us shampoo packs and said maybe in a half hour - we bought our own. No daily cleaning. Check in clerk was horrible. Hair in weird places of shower and bathroom. Unsafe shower/tub. Couldn't stop water in tub for my wife to shave her legs. Overall horrible

Lobby closed had to stand outside of lobby and use a phone while looking at clerk in the office was 39° degrees outside at the time. They gave my $100 security deposit to some random ass person then refused to pay it back.

My night check in manager Patrick did an excellent job getting me in my room fast and efficient not only did he help me get set up but also made sure that I had what I needed for my room The night manager Patrick did an excellent job and I would recommend him for any other position available as he would excel as a leader thank you Patrick for your attention to detail Steve Wilson

Unfortunately, the room next to me was up late, loud banging on door, cops, shouting. I did not feel completely safe. However staff was exceptional, kind, patient and I would recommend them.

Perfect spot to do everything

Some of the clientele was very questionable. The employees were all very nice and even had to intervine with questionable tenants. The location was great for my needs. Next time I'll try the place across the street or around the corner. The door jambs on some of the rooms look like the door had been kicked in, door was fine, but the jamb leaves a question of what happened.

Well there is clean and always has coffee and front deck respond asap. We like that we feel important .

When we arrived the manager at the time, indicated that "we do not have a key for your room".. maybe tomorrow. I told him that we were going out to eat, do I just bother you everytime I leave the room. "Yes". Said the key might be ready tomorrow ( I knew that wasn't going to happen. Website says stay includeds breakfast. No it did not, just bad coffee. Room bathroom was gross. No showerhead, no plug for the bathtub, footprints in the tub. Toilet was disgusting, had not been cleaned in I do not know how long. TV did not work, said the maintenance would be there tomorrow to fix (see above on repairs and keys). Do not recommend.

The ac in the rooms were not good. Me and my kids were really hot all day. Was told room ac worked really good. Hope you guys fix that. Other than that rooms were great breakfast was decent and pool was fun! Great housekeepers and front desk worker was super friendly!

I had to move rooms because the original room I had smelled like cigarette smoked so badly that it was unbearable. I reserved a non-smoking room and was put into another room which also smelled but not as bad. Once in the shower I realize there was no shampoo or soap so I had to stop and go to the office to get both. I was given two little packets of shampoo and two little pieces of soap. The breakfast is not really breakfast.
