What guests think

At Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Atlantic, travellers often find friendly, accommodating staff and a convenient location near Walmart, restaurants, and fuel, with many noting large rooms and decent value, though the building shows its age in places.

Cleanliness is mixed, with several reports of musty or moldy odors, dampness near the pool, and occasional housekeeping lapses alongside many remarks about tidy rooms. Rooms are generally spacious but dated, with bed and pillow comfort varying widely; the large indoor pool is popular yet sometimes closed, and breakfast ranges from hot, satisfying options to limited or poorly maintained. Overall, expect an older stay with generous space and variable upkeep.

The hotel was quiet and clean. An outside door didn't lock all the way so it was easy to get into the building which could be a safety issue. All in all, it was a very pleasant place.

The room was clean but definitely dated and could use some updates. There was no elevator, so carrying luggage up the stairs was a bit of a hassle. On Sunday morning, there was some kind of ceremony by the pool that was very loud around 7 a.m., which made it hard to sleep in. The bed itself was okay, but the pillows were very uncomfortable — I actually ended up buying one at Walmart. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are definitely some things that could be improved.

This place was fine for a stopover night. Kind of old and smelled like old smoke in some areas. Had a decent breakfast and pool area. Walmart was right across the road, so that was convenient. Not sure if the sheets were clean on one of the beds, because there were some crumbs in the bed. otherwise the bed was comfortable and the room was good sized.

We really liked the indoor pool! It has a a "north woods cabin" ambience. Wood paneled walls and ceiling, and indirect lighting. Very homey. The water was just the right temperature and the pool was unusually large when compared to the "postage stamp" pools you get at the big name chains. The guest room was huge! The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was updated and clean. Our only complaint was that the room had a musty odor. We didn't complaint because we were tired and didn't want to change rooms, so I don't want to "ding" the management. (There was a paper asking us to report problems to the management rather than giving a bad review. We tried to do that, but there was nobody at the from desk when we left.)

The room was unnecessary dirty and it could be seen that vacuuming was not a priority between customers. The cleanliness of the toilet was unacceptable and disgusting. Additionally, it was difficult to determine if the bedding was changed between customers as there were various strands of human hair under the mattresses and under the blankets. The wall in the bathroom looks like there is urine on it along with other residue. I am very disappointed to see handprints along the headboard in a suggestive manner as this was a family trip. I have worked at this hotel when I was younger and know that these conditions are unacceptable and were not tolerated whatsoever, which makes this experience all the more disappointing.

Rooms

Rooms are often very spacious with decent amenities and, in some cases, fast Wi-Fi and quiet A/C, but decor is dated and comfort ranges from excellent to very hard or worn beds and pillows. Some rooms near the pool experience extra humidity or noise, and a few had temperature control issues.

We stayed in a room with a King-size bed and were almost startled at the size of this room. Very nice to have that extra room. Ice cold refrigerator. Large High Def T.V. Internet was fast and reliable. Plenty of outlets at the desk area which is often a pain point (but not this time). A/C was quiet and efficient. HOT HOT shower! Iron, Ironing Board, and Hair dryer provided. Breakfast included waffles and biscuits and gravy. We have stayed here before and will again when in Atlantic. No need to look around. The only thing to mention is that any room right next to the pool can be a bit damp...if that bothers you, but other than that we really liked it. Our King-size bedroom had a "recently upgraded" look and feel.

The mgr. Laurie was so helpful when I had to check out. Knows her job. I had the time to visit with each employee the 8 days we were there. Brea, Doris, Tammy, Kim, Virginia. Kinny too! I know I have left out someone and sure didn't mean too. Everyone was great. Loved our stay!! Only one night some workers with no English-speaking blocked a doorway with music and beer. Brea took care of that chasing them to their room. I highly recommend this this hotel. Walmart & gas right across the street. Plenty of resturants too. They take care of you. Breakfast was top notch. Price was worth it too.

Restroom for the public was dirty. Food used to be good now it suck. I let them know they were out of bacon they didn’t have no more really seemed like they didn’t care. They didn’t keep waffle making full and my have let it set out all night. We were charged for meeting room for our family get together (most of us renting rooms) Air conditioning was not working we told the front desk they said they would let maintenance know they never showed up. It was ready hot didn’t cool down no refund. Used to be a great place now it’s like they don’t care about customers service anymore.

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious and clean with great amenities. Staff were helpful and the breakfast was yummy with waffles, eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal, bagels, and more. Our only complain was being placed by a conference room where a group was meeting. There was a sliding glass door into that room from our room. While the glass was heavily frosted and had blinds, we still felt uncomfortable having it there. The hotel might want to wall that off sometime soon. Other than that minor complaint, everything was great!

Average room, bed comfortable. Tv fine. Bathroom needs updated – nowhere to put soap or hair products. Carpet and floor needs cleaning. Shampoo and soap that was provided was below average. In fact soap was so thin that it would only last one shower, which didn’t work for two people staying in the room. Went to breakfast at 8:30 and there was no coffee and no one came to make anymore. Breakfast was average – cold cereal, yogurt, ability to make waffles, biscuits and gravy.
