Americas Best Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 06 Jan 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

While the rooms themselves are nice and clean, the common areas and the rest of the hotel are a dump! The hallways smell of bad fish. The carpets are stained. Wall paper is pulling off the walls. Only one elevator was working in the building I was in. And, that one bounced, groaned and felt like it could go at any minute. The staff all seemed like they were just there to punch the clock.

Positives: The room itself was nice.

Negatives: Only one elevator working, and it felt like it was about to break down. Common areas were NASTY!

I wouldn't recommend that hotel to anyone. It was extremely dirty. I have a 2 year old and I felt like leaving but we got there at 10 pm after being in Disney all day. We were too tired to leave.

Positives: Location was good.

Negatives: It was dirty. My husband and I were itching because of the bed. The bathroom was dirty. It was just bad.

My family would have liked to use the pool, but it was over crowded for our enjoyment.

Positives: Convenient location within traveling distance to the major theme parks.

Negatives: The hotel double as a local hangout for not so frienly looking people.

Visited from July 10 - 20, 2008. Arrived in the early evening and checked in. Surprised that I had to provide credit card for incidentals such as the "free" shuttle to Disney and the safe key. Was charged an additional $3/day to have these features (which we never used while there). There were some guests who appeared to be doing some shady things at the hotel across the hall from where we were staying. People were coming and going to one room throughout our stay. The back door on the second floor of the hotel had a back door that was supposed to be closed for security reasons but was intentionally left ajar several times for people to access throughout the night. The pool was nice. It was heated and there always seemed to be towels poolside for guests. Jacuzzi had some jets that didn't work but otherwise was fine. We needed to use the laundry facilities and they were located in a part of the hotel that wasn't currently open and was possibly undergoing construction. The staff was unresponsive to repairing the ice machine on the second floor after I informed them it was broken. This in no way should have been highlighted as 3 star hotel. There was no restaurant was at best a 1.5 star hotel. We weren't completely disappointed. The disappointment came from the rating the hotel received and what we saw in person.

Positives: Close proximately to Disney, easy access.

Negatives: Uncomfortable beds, shady guests, mold in bathroom, patches on wall.

This hotel should be condemned! They moved us to 3 different rooms, in the last room there was mold growing in the corner of the room, the hot water didn't work, rooms were damp and musty, furniture torn up, we could only stay 1 night out of 4 we found another hotel that morning! We slept in our clothes refused to shower in the nasty tub that the stains wouldn't come out of and didn't sit on anything we used the blankets we had to lay on top of the beds. The only nice thing about this hotel was the American and Hispanic staff! Run don't walk from this no fun spot!

Positives: The view from the rear view mirror as we drove off to another hotel.

Negatives: Everything.

I would not stay here again it was very low quality. But location for Disney was good, that's about it.

I was very dissatisfied.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Jul 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

This hotel did not have a fridge, and the internet was expensive to get on. I don't think this hotel was very good at all.

Positives: Nothing really.

Negatives: The elevator was fast.

When we checked it, they were overbooked. Heard a lot of cursing and had the security guard go to the room. The bugs crawling around the sinks. They gave our connecting room to the people who were drinking alcohol and were loud. The man was working alone when we arrived and they had hardly any towels in the room. Had to leave my room to get what I needed. The room smelled like must, and wet hamper. No wireless internet, but it was available in the lobby with credit card. The night manager stated that I could not enter through the back that they were not going to open the door for me. When I parked my car all away around the hotel, we noticed people coming in and out of the hotel using their cards! Why would he tell me I had to use the lobby? Was not happy with this hotel.

Positives: It was centrally located near Disney. However, it was not a safe place to be.

Negatives: The fact that they separated our rooms, the bugs crawling on the sinks, the paper thin walls.

We went to hotel expecting the worst, but was surprised. Our room was very clean. Yes, this property has some age and wear on it, but overall, all the public areas and our room was very clean. There was some small blemishes on trim in bath and drain plugs in sinks were missing, but we didn't expect this place to be the Ritz. The front desk check in was slow. But I think this is due to a clumsy front desk management software program that runs slow and is out of date. The front desk person was very frustrated with the program as it made check in take about 20 minutes. But overall, I would rate this hotel a good value for someone who wants an inexpensive night of sleep after theme parking all day. Don't expect it to be luxurious, just clean and affordable.

Positives: Location was great. Close to Disney.

Negatives: Front desk check in was slow.

Upset about the checkout surcharge and wasn't impressed with the large bee hive in the wall of the hotel near our balcony. It appears they are trying to upgrade the older Ramada Inn and one of the wings of the hotel is completely gutted. The room pictures show fridge and microwave but they weren't in the rooms and picture of pool is either from the past decades or makes it look over twice the size it really is. Looks like they are trying but still upset with the room surcharge.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Large Bee Hive in hotel wall next to my room and surcharge to check out?

The water of the sink was running to the carpet. The door didn't have a good lock. The TV has to be operated by pressing a hole where it was supposed to be a button. The carpets didn't smell good. We didn't stay in that place.

Positives: This place should be closed.

Negatives: The location is excellent but the conditions of the hotel are poor. Nobody should stay there.

The front desk clerk was friendly, helpful, and a native English speaker. His name tag had a faded Ramada on it, so I'm guessing this place was unloaded by Ramada recently. The hotel was easy to find with GPS, and there are restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance. This is a non-smoking hotel, and the only person who had a problem with that was a guest who has been there for the past 15 months. There is a bar/lounge on site, overlooking the pool, hot tub, volleyball court, putting green, and playground. I didn't feel unsafe, the public areas were clean but dated, and the bathroom facilities were acceptable.

Positives: It was cheap, and there were hot showers. The guy at the front desk was nice.

Negatives: It was old, and one guy had been living there for 15 months.
