What guests think
At Americas Best Value Inn, guests describe a basic, budget stay with convenient access to restaurants and stores and easy parking, but experiences vary widely depending on the room assigned and expectations for an older property.
Rooms are often spacious with kitchenettes and comfortable beds, but decor is dated and multiple reviews cite broken fixtures, weak A/C, and odors. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean stays to reports of dirty floors and walls, mold, pests, stained linens, and lingering smoke or food smells. Service is frequently praised, though several guests mention an unexpected cash deposit at check-in and there were occasional lapses such as limited office hours or housekeeping entering without knocking. A practical choice for short, value-focused stops.

This hotel was very clean with food places in walking distances. Also plenty of parking for parking a 40 foot trailer. Will stay there anytime we are in Cookeville for business.

If you are looking for inexpensive, this is your place. Remember, it is EXTENDED Stay, so there are people who actually live in the accommodations. There are cars in disrepair and people hanging out on the balcony and in the parking lots. It was clean and well-stocked. We only needed accommodations for one night and we were on a tight budget. Has a fridge, microwave and sink. Beds were comfortable. Those blankets/bed covers are sketchy, though. Not sure those are washed after each visit so we did not allow them to remain on our beds.

The motel is old, kindof run down, but the location is good and quiet. The bed was comfy and our rooms were clean. Staff was attentive. I would stay again but ask for a non smoking room.

Just driving up to our room all the tenants were outside staring at us go by. I know you can't control the tenants there, but as girls traveling alone we didnt feel safe going to our car alone. Very loud noises in the morning that didn't let us sleep past 6am and our towels had stains on them. The front desk staff was nice though.

This room seemed good for the price and reviews but we were immediately shown differently. First upon check they stated that i needed to pay a 40 dollar damage deposit. This was not disclosed prior and of the 100s of hotels I’ve stayed in I never encountered this. They waived it due to my confusion and stating that I was not aware of it. The room was dirty, the light switch was sticky and covered in black specs. Neither of the bedside lamps worked and there were no plug ins to charge phones except 1 by the kitchen. The toilet didn’t flush and was not bolted to the floor, it rocked around when you sit on it. Our A/C unit smelled like it was burning when we turned it on. Overall this room was a cheap 1 night stay but it is not deserving of the good reviews. This is a low end run down hotel and the owners don’t seem to care about the rooms being kept up or functional. First time staying at an extended stay and will be my last.

Asked for 2 adjacent non-smoking rooms, got separate floors that reeked of smoke. Los of mold in the bathroom, burnt crap in microwave, roaches and spiders, no coffee maker... Trash all around the place. Appears many occupants are there via TN public aid or judicial release programs, hang around smoking, drinking and shuffling between units all day. We used to like staying at these types of drive-ups. No more. The large sign up high over the motel is only a frame with the name/brand completely obliterated out - that should be a warning to turn around and go to one of the many other hotels in the area. Extended Stay and Expedia need to disassociate from this facility. Their management should find a different line of business. DO NOT STAY AT THIS DUMP.

Extremely nice esp. for the price. Roomy, and a real sink for the kitchenette with a removable spray. And a real “fuller” size refrigerator. Very quiet. Very clean. Staff including housekeeping were friendly and great. Don’t be dissuaded bc some of the doors need a new paint job. (Always sand the surface before you paint as it gives a proper base for the paint to adhere to.)

Great people, it was very clean for the price. A steal of a deal. We stopped on the way to the Smoky Mountains, and liked it so much we stopped again on the way home. Had a nice kitchen area too if you needed to stay for a long time.

Room not cleaned when we arrived.Even after cleaning problems remained.My socks still got brown from the floor, there were spiders in the corner of kitchen counter, food dried on kitchen wall, brown stuff on toilet paper,dirty walls. I bought & used disinfectant spray on everything! We left early to get away from skeevy feeling! Will never recommend this place! Too bad because staff is nice.

Unexpected charge upon check-in: was told I need to pay the front desk attendant $40 nonrefundable payment in cash. There was no mention of this extraneous charge on the website or public profile. It was the first I’ve ever been asked to pay extra in cash upon check in to any hotel. It felt sketchy. Also the Hotels.com says that this has 24/7 check-in which is not the case; the office closes overnight. The room was old but had all the essentials. It smelled like smoke even though it was non-smoking. It also was right next to the stairwell and I could hear every neighbor and everyone climbing the stairs’ conversations.

So the price was great, And it's very spacious in size. You get a full fridge and a nice sink. The beds are comfy surpisingly. I got the room late, like 11p or 12am and went to bed. There was no parking.in he front of my room, so I had to park in the middle of the parking lot where it wasnt close to my room, which worried me. My AC did not work that great and the toilet was running all night long, my door Also didn't close unless you locked and then unlocked it, closed the door and then locked it.Also, the checkout time is 11am. It was 10:30 and me and my gf were, doing "our thing" and the cleaning man didn't knock, call, say anything,. Just walked right in on us and it embarrassed us. It was an experience for sure.

When i checked in, the clerk, who was the owner was hard to understand. He wanted $40 cash as a deposit, even though i gave him my debit card. I got a non smoking room, even though i smoke i did not leave my cigarette butts, since i had an ashe tray with me. There were no "No Smoking" signs displayed where i was smoking, except on the room door. The owner told me i could not smoke outside, in front of my room. I told him if there were signs saying no smoking i would not have smoked. There were none. There are no coffee pots in the room or coffee, plus no continental breakfast. They provide you with a bar of soap and that is it. Thank goodness i brought my toiletries.

I enjoyed my stay here, you cannot beat the price for the quality! The staff was extremely friendly and the room was clean! The only thing I didn't like was my shower's soap holder was broken off, which I could see potentially being harmful in case of a fall while showering. Other than that, everything was perfectly fine And that should just be a problem in one room! I would definitely stay again!

This hotel was very clean with food places in walking distances. Also plenty of parking for parking a 40 foot trailer. Will stay there anytime we are in Cookeville for business.

I liked the location of the property. It is close to a huge number of restaurants as well as grocery stores, gas stations and a Wal-Mart.

If you are looking for inexpensive, this is your place. Remember, it is EXTENDED Stay, so there are people who actually live in the accommodations. There are cars in disrepair and people hanging out on the balcony and in the parking lots. It was clean and well-stocked. We only needed accommodations for one night and we were on a tight budget. Has a fridge, microwave and sink. Beds were comfortable. Those blankets/bed covers are sketchy, though. Not sure those are washed after each visit so we did not allow them to remain on our beds.

The motel is old, kindof run down, but the location is good and quiet. The bed was comfy and our rooms were clean. Staff was attentive. I would stay again but ask for a non smoking room.

Just driving up to our room all the tenants were outside staring at us go by. I know you can't control the tenants there, but as girls traveling alone we didnt feel safe going to our car alone. Very loud noises in the morning that didn't let us sleep past 6am and our towels had stains on them. The front desk staff was nice though.

Great people, it was very clean for the price. A steal of a deal. We stopped on the way to the Smoky Mountains, and liked it so much we stopped again on the way home. Had a nice kitchen area too if you needed to stay for a long time.

Asked for 2 adjacent non-smoking rooms, got separate floors that reeked of smoke. Los of mold in the bathroom, burnt crap in microwave, roaches and spiders, no coffee maker... Trash all around the place. Appears many occupants are there via TN public aid or judicial release programs, hang around smoking, drinking and shuffling between units all day. We used to like staying at these types of drive-ups. No more. The large sign up high over the motel is only a frame with the name/brand completely obliterated out - that should be a warning to turn around and go to one of the many other hotels in the area. Extended Stay and Expedia need to disassociate from this facility. Their management should find a different line of business. DO NOT STAY AT THIS DUMP.

When i checked in, the clerk, who was the owner was hard to understand. He wanted $40 cash as a deposit, even though i gave him my debit card. I got a non smoking room, even though i smoke i did not leave my cigarette butts, since i had an ashe tray with me. There were no "No Smoking" signs displayed where i was smoking, except on the room door. The owner told me i could not smoke outside, in front of my room. I told him if there were signs saying no smoking i would not have smoked. There were none. There are no coffee pots in the room or coffee, plus no continental breakfast. They provide you with a bar of soap and that is it. Thank goodness i brought my toiletries.
