The door from the parking area to the motel was unlocked. Safety/Security issue. Breakfast was below par. Place has seen better days. I don't understand why the review has to be a certain length. That's weird

As a men's basketball reporter in East Lansing, I've had the opportunity to stay in many hotels all over the Midwest to cover college hoops and I can safely say the America's Best Value in Bloomington, Indiana is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I've never seen such a combination of terrible service, poor conditions and a repulsive atmosphere... More

I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy your stay. But there are no smells of rotting garbage or curry in the hotel, unless there is a guest cooking with curry. If that was the case when you stayed I’m do apologize. I heard nothing about it from any of the other fifty guests that were on the floor that you were... More

I had the pleasure of staying this week at America's Best Value Inn in Bloomington. I was a little wary after reading some of the reviews on here, but seeing as Kenny is pretty much the only property manager that responds to the reviews, I figured I would take a chance. Check in was a breeze, Kenny himself was at... More

Thank you very much. We do our best to maintain a pleasant environment. We are actually talking about putting a public laundry for hotel guests in the hotel, but the plans for that are about a year off. Thank you for staying, and we look forward to your next stay. More

This is by far the worst Inn I ever stayed. The place is dirty, smells moldy, the rooms are so old,dark and dingy, the furniture is repolsive. There was a piece of metal on the night stands that could literally hurt you in not careful. The room walls are as thin as paper. Managment could not control the vistors who... More

I’m sorry that you didn’t like your stay with us. This place is very clean, yes old, but well kept. There are no safety hazards in any of our rooms. Management, meaning myself, did control the visitors that were creating a disturbance. Upon your call to the front desk, I immediately went to the room you complained about and told... More

No reason to over pay for a place to stay while visiting my son at college. The manager is very involved and attentive. The motel continues to improve. Good value, friendly service. Great location, within walking distance to IU. I plan on using this motel for all my visits.

I do not understand the negative reviews. My stays have always been comfortable and clean. The staff is courteous and friendly. The owners are continually improving the facility, making it an even better value. For the favorable room rate that they charge this is indeed Americas (and Bloomington's) Best Value Inn.
