What guests think

At Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Williamstown, travellers highlight the unbeatable proximity to the Ark Encounter, generally friendly staff, and budget value, while noting an older, outside-corridor motel with mixed room quality, noise, and maintenance quirks.

Many guests found rooms clean, but recurring complaints include damp or musty smells, mold, worn flooring, and occasional housekeeping lapses such as missing towels. Breakfast is a simple continental setup—waffles, cereal, pastries—with a very small, often crowded dining space; the Mexican restaurant next door earns frequent praise. The outdoor pool is generally kept clean, but Wi‑Fi reliability and HVAC performance vary. Expect a basic, no‑frills stay steps from the Ark.

Kind of an older motel but it was very clean very comfortable no bed bugs or any kind of critters that I could find. The hotel staff was exceptionally friendly helpful. There was a Mexican restaurant in the parking lot that was also exceptional not very expensive and great service. Overall I give the entire place a thumbs up they have a beautiful pool well maintained air conditioned worked excellent. Parking was free and right next to our room. If I had a complaint it would be that we went at the wrong time of the year and that was out of their control because the pool was too cool and not heated sure wish it would have been.

It's an old motel with outside room entry. You can hear people walking past your door and the walls are thin so you can hear conversations in the next room. The breakfast is decent, though, for the price. Conveniently located next to the Ark Encounter. No road noise from the highway. One Mexican-style restaurant located next to the property.

Outdated hotel. Access from outside only, no elevator to second floor. Limited options for breakfast. Too crowded to accommodate the visitors. Limited restaurant options in the near area. Would recommend staying at the Hampton Inn next door instead.

The front desk was very nice. The bedding and the pillows were nice. The whole place was totally rundown and old -many of the fixtures and lighting fixtures were broken, noisy loud. The worst part about the property is that it smelled and it was nothing that you could get rid of it comes with age it just smell like mildew. It’s hard to get past. I would never stay there again, but it was a good value. I would not recommend. you could definitely live with the broken old fixtures, but you can never get past the smell it is that bad every room had it.

This property is very close to the Ark Encounter and was full. We must have arrived last and was forced to park no where near our room. The room was small but clean. The bed closest to the AC was comfortable but challenging to sleep in with the air conditioning blowing on your head. Also, not wired to accommodate all the charging needs of a family.

The room was outdated, some walls looks like cheap repairs were done. TV is old and the worst was the AC noise. That noise was just compared like to had a generator inside the room. Breakfast was excellent.

The lady at the service desk really didn't want to be there. She wasn't friendly or helpful at all. I asked for extra pillows, without a word she went into another room and came back out and said, she'll get them. The other lady came out and said, they're over there,( pointing to a room across the parking lot,) you can go over there and I'll get them for you. Did I mention, I'm disabled and noted that when I booked the room. I followed her over there and got the pillows. Only 2 usable outlets in the room. One in bathroom and one next to bed. There were kids and adults loud and running up and down the walkway until 10pm.

The Ark Encounter was on my bucket list. We chose America's Best because it was very close and the Creation Museum was maybe a 25 minute drive from there. Close hi-way access, but very quiet. The room was simple. The bed was comfortable. Service was excellent including the continental breakfast. The Mexican Restaurant next door was really good too! We considered swimming in the pool, but didn't because it was unusually cool for the end of August. Would definitely recommend.
