What guests think

Across reviews, Americas Best Value Inn Mount Vernon draws frequent complaints about poor cleanliness, strong odors, and pests, while a smaller number of guests mention friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a basic place to sleep for a night.

Rooms are often described as dated with broken fixtures, weak water pressure or AC, and TVs or cable not working. Service feedback is mixed, from helpful and accommodating to unresponsive with refund or check-in concerns. Breakfast is often minimal or stale, though a few guests were satisfied, and the location offers nearby dining and a generally quiet overnight stop. Expect a very basic, budget stay with notable compromises.

This place is in a sad state. From the moment you walk from your car to the front desk you will see that there is little regard for the presentation of the hotel. Dirty, things broken, dirty entrance. It continues in the room. Dirty, things broken and haphazardly repaired and generally not inviting. When I checked in there was a not on the desk where you sign in that the phones and tv's were not working due to a "repair and back ordered parts". I would have immediately left but there were no other rooms anywhere in the town unless you wanted to spend 3x what this place was,

There was litter all over, went in the office and it stunk, noticed a sign that gave you 10 minutes for refund if you did not want to stay there, we made it by 4 minutes. There was a busted up air conditioner in the parking lot and when we walked in the room which stunk and a guy came over and looked in too, just weird. We asked for a refund which he did and went over the comfort suites. Cost for the room was about the same, it was the pet fee that added up. I didn't care about that anymore. Expedia should really take this one off the list. JMO

Many features didn’t work like the shower and tv. However the worst part was pulling up the bedspread and seeing dirt and hair all over the sheets. Gross. Never again.

Very unsafe property and there were live and dead roaches in the room… including in the room’s refrigerator. Expedia is attempting to get a refund, but the hotel staff hang up and/or don’t answer the phone when they call. DO NOT STAY HERE

You CAN'T call that breakfast!!!

The room was a room. The bed was okay, but the 2 pillows were completely flat. One bed side light did not turn on. The shower had a big black spot right above the shower head. The ceiling was chipping in some spots. The room was okay to sleep in, but I wouldn’t stay here again in my opinion.

We had a late check-in and when we arrived the open sign was off and we called to get someone to let us in the office to check-in. The room then was tiny, and not what we'd requested, but there was a bed, fridge, microwave and coffee pot in there. The floors were not clean but it had snowed the night before. The bathroom was tiny and they never did tell us what time was breakfast. We found out it ended at 9am, and were they kind to let us take a few scraps since there was no coffee except decaf available. For what it costed it was not the worst.

They did not offer full cable at the time, which is not mentioned on third-party sites. However, a sign at the check-in desk mentioned that they would not offer refunds once the reservation was made. This is good if you want to stay for a night, get a shower, and be out the following day.

The hotel was clean. The rooms need some updating. It looks like it has been a decade or so since any updates have been made. This hotel was an average value for the money.

Great discount hotel. One of the best designed rooms I've stayed in. Immaculate with many conveniences: fridge, microwave, computer desk, PLENTY of outlets. VERY clean bathroom. And a very convenient moderately priced Mexican sit down restaurant across the parking lot

Not the best even for a cheaper motel- Toliet paper dispenser falling off the wall- large burn holes in the comforters- one room smelled of smoke - other of animals (it was an animal room but didn’t smell like it had been cleaned). Breakfast was literally toast, cereal, and grits packets. Beds not bad and they had clean sheets that smelled nice (under the burnt covers).
