What guests think

At Americas Best Value Inn York, travelers describe budget-friendly rates and a convenient location near the freeway, but also aging rooms and inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, including worn furnishings, lingering odors, occasional pests, and broken or finicky locks and fixtures.

Service is often friendly, but several guests reported communication issues, unhelpful responses, or early morning door knocks. Parking is convenient and well lit, yet amenities are limited; the pool seems closed and the simple breakfast draws frequent complaints about minimal options and quality. Some rooms face road noise or have loud air conditioners, while others found beds comfortable for a short stop. Overall, expect a basic, budget stay with variable upkeep and service.

The key never worked. The (dad?) came and helped the son(?) look at why it didn't work. He said they would need to put a new battery in the lock in the morning. When we came back from breakfast, the maid let us back into our room. The recliner chair was dirty and very worn. It needs a cover or replace the chair. The parking was great! You could park right next to your room. The location was very convenient and not out of our way of travel.

The lady who checked us in was friendly and pleasant. We had 2 rooms. The first room was clean, but there were so many gnats in the bathroom, around the sink, and around the lampshade. The second room did not have that issue. It was a simple place with dated rooms, but for the price it was to be expected. Parking was convenient. Breakfast included a waffle maker, cold cereals, and bagels. I couldn't recommend the coffee or juice, but the milk was fine. The gentleman at the desk for check out was also friendly and pleasant. Overall, it was a decent stay, and if you're on a tight budget it would be a good place to stop in overnight.

Decidedly filthy; on opening the door rubbish i.e. nail clipping on the carpet, towel in refrigerator collecting water one end into a trash can, bad musty mold smell. Had to spray the room with my car antibacterial. For the money, 1/10 and unhealthy. Avoid.

I was so pleased with the cleanliness of my room! The beds are so comfortable and the water for the bath gets HOT! It was like soaking in a hot tub without the jets. Big soft towels, extra blankets, an ironing board and iron, built in blow dryer, shampoos, body wash, you can almost leave your carry-on in the car! I slept so soundly! The staff is just great, and the fact they are pet friendly is a bonus! I highly recommend!

Room had dead cockroaches in it. At least they were dead. We checked the rest of the room and it was clear. We kept our bags in the car just incase. I told the owner and he said he would spray the room AGAIN. Also the breakfast area was let’s say, needs a good make over. But the room was ok otherwise. It was just dated and we were surprised it had such a good rating and also the cost was high. It should be $50 a night, not $80.

Very Old nothing maintained.....Dirty evidently wasn't even vacuumed I picked up coins bottle caps off the floor. The toilet seat was loose almost coming off. Towel holder fell off wall. Thank Goodness I carry our own blankets so we just threw the bedding in a corner of the room. If we hadn't drove 12 hours that day arriving that night over the 4th of July Holiday we would have cancelled the room and shopped for another Motel. Hands down worst room I have ever stayed in, We laughed calling it the Money Pit everything you touched just fell apart. I do NOT recommend this motel

First off, this property is about a mile from the freeway, and gas stations, dining options. Still easy to get to. For price point, this place was great. And 5 stars for this price point. I had 2 negatives. 1st, my room faced the main road, and I could hear the traffic. Not a big deal, I sleep with ear plugs. 2nd, I went to step in the shower. One foot on the towel mate the other on the rubber shower mate, which was not secured. Both moved and I slammed my leg into the tub. Water pressure is good. Bed is a little firm. By far, a great value all in all. Breakfast is an easy pass. I’d stay there again.

Our first stay at an ABV inn - and probably our last. Room was clean, but very shabby. A/C was so loud we had to shut it off and sweat all night to get any sleep. Sign said ‘hot breakfast’, which was an exaggeration. They had a waffle machine and cold cereal, mediocre coffee, and bad OJ. No toast, bagels, fruit, pastries, eggs or anything else.

We have stayed at Palmer Inn many times over the years. Back when this was the Palmer Inn, everything was great. When ABVI took over, things started downhill but were tolerable. Now that Sonesta is involved, it's no longer a nice place to stay. Rooms are very dated. Toilet wax seal leaked when flushed. No other King bed rooms available. Paint flaking off walls. Door lock key card reader did not work consistently. Housekeeping gave us clean towels but never changed the bedding. Shower fixtures were calcified and corroded. We will never book there, again.

We ordered our stay through Expedia. When i arrived with my family late in the evening , it wasn't in their system. Needless to say, i am not happy when i received the email from Expedia asking how the checkin went. I ended up having to go directly through the property to get the room and glad there was a room available -- hoping i don't get double charged.

I reserved a room when I was on the road about 90 minutes earlier. I checked in after 10 pm. The fairer half of the apparently live in management couple was cordial at check in. However, the other half of the couple was visibly annoyed when I came back to get help with the keyless door system. He was able to use the magnetic card effortlessly to allow me in my room. When I demonstrated my technique, I was once again unable to gain entry. The male manager simply said, you’ll be here all night if you keep doing it that way. I gave no indication, in my mind that I had learned to use this obviously simple system. I was disappointed that, despite the late hour, he didn’t make sure I could regain entry to my room. This caused me to leave my door open when I unloaded and reloaded my car. In the morning, I left my entry door ajar when I went for the free breakfast. Needless to say, I would have felt more comfortable and welcome if the manager had managed a small measure of hospitality for my circumstance. The meaning of hospitality is the ability to make your guests feel comfortable and at ease. Unfortunately, this visit failed in that regard.

Definitely not the 7.5 rating on the reviews as I had read to begin with. From the second we walked in the room, it smelled awful. Mold in the bathroom ceiling, mold in the fridge/freezer, room had 2 roller desk chairs and a filthy stained fabric chair which was all way too much for the small space, bed sheets were to small they didn’t even fit nor stay on the beds. Oh and it listed breakfast. It had a waffle maker but no waffle batter at all. The only thing offered was stale cereal. Definitely will not be staying here again.
