What guests think

Reviews of Americas Best Value Inn - Brownsville portray a budget motel with a convenient east-side location, delivering simple rooms and modest value but with mixed experiences across service, cleanliness, maintenance, and air conditioning.

Guests mention issues like roaches, dusty rooms, wet floors from AC condensation, clogged tubs, and broken fixtures, while others note clean, comfortable rooms and quiet stays. Service feedback ranges from friendly, accommodating staff and quick check-ins to reservation problems, extra fees, towel restrictions, and occasional rudeness. Breakfast is very simple with limited variety, though a few guests enjoyed it. Expect a basic, no-frills overnight stop.

The mirror had a crack in the room, the remote was sticky and nothing would clean it! I had to go buy clorax wipes to wipe down the room and spray Lysol for the smell. The ironing board cover was filthy with some brown stains. The towels smelt horrible……. The property had repairs and the debris was still near parking area so we had to be careful when loading and in loading our car. We had to be careful not to step on broken tile or counter tops as we walk to surrounding restaurants……

Worst Hotel we have ever stayed at. Had a horrible experience from check in to check out. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Room smelled like cigarettes even though it was non smoking room, hair dryer did not work, restroom door did not close since knob was broken, tub water would not drain .we were not allowed to get clean towels till you returned the dirty ones. Pool towels not provided had to go buy at a store. Only given 1 room key and was not allowed a 2nd one. Was questioned like it was a 5star hotel..lol... all around worst hotel ever!!

The first thing we noticed was the floor was not swept/mopped. It was real dusty and the fixtures, bed frame etc were extremely dusty. The room had a musty smell that did not go away even after the AC was on. The ironing board had wires sticking out damaging my clothes. The mini refrigerator was dirty and the freezer was over iced. I was not expecting a five star hotel here, but I was expecting more.

This was one of 6 hotels we stayed at on our recent trip. It was the least expensive. I was the only place with a full fridge and freezer. There was a fully functioning AC and was the only room with a ceiling fan as well. The room was a good size and the cleanest of the 6. This isn't a resort... it's a motel. You're here to sleep and this place does great at doing what you need.

Saw a roach upon entering the bathroom. The smoke detector was off of the wall snd had no battery to put it back on the wall. The comforter had burns in it. And the breakfast options were very limited. It didn't seem like it had been cleaned between customers and the soap dispensers were all empty.

The staffer could not find my reservation. He wanted to charge 10 bucks for 10min early check in. When he finally found my reservation he stated he only have smoking room and I will need to pay extra for non smoking double bed. I showed my reservation for king non smoking. I ended up paying 25 extra for double bed non smoking. AC made loud noise. Maintenance to replace unit. Towels were used and thread was unraveling. I went to buy towels. Sheets had holes. Upon check there wasn’t anyone. Doors was locked. No receipt. Oh yeah tub was clogged and bathroom door handle was falling off. Only reason I stayed was because I was too beat from the sun and medical conditions.

Room was ok, we were too tired from our travels to complain about splatter substance on the ceiling, facial hair all over the sink, a noisy AC that kept waking us up in the middle of the night and used zip ties found on the nightstand. Didnt know whether to be scared or laugh 😔 Breakfast offered was cereal, watered down orange juice drink, water, coffee, fruit punch, toast, and packaged muffins and bananas/apples. We chose this place cause of the breakfast included. Was hoping for at least a waffle bar.

The rooms were clean and nice but when I went to take a shower the faucet wouldn't close properly so it leaked all night I couldn't sleep. Then I woke up at one point during the night and the floor was wet i slipped. Apparently if you lower the a/c the floor sweats and becomes grossly wet and slippery.

When I booked the property, they said they had three rooms available. When I got to the property they only had one room left and it was a smoking room, which never said anything about a smoking room when I reserved. There was leftover food in the refrigerator from the previous guests. There’s no soap on the soap dispenser in the shower and no shampoo or conditioner and soap dispenser so my daughter and I ended up showering with only water in the front desk. Attendant was a rude, and not helpful at all. I hope and pray I never have to stay in a place like this again horrible experience. Definitely not even worth a dollar.

We booked a reservation and when we called to confirm our booking. The hotel personnel told us we didn’t have a booking so we had to go somewhere else last minute. However, they charged us a no-show fee. Never experienced this from a hotel ever. Will never try to stay there again.
