Americas Best Value Inn, Twin Falls

This really turned out to be a great place. Very comfy king-sized bed. Roomy accommodation. Nice breakfast. We recommend. Great price.

The Yahoo site advertises it as a Best Western - which it is not. Requested a King room but when I arrived I was told pets can't be in King rooms so I was given a queen for the same price. Motel was deserted when I arrived but then people arrived and were put in the room right next to mine - of all the rooms -put next to mine with very thin walls and three dogs. They should've spaced the rooms by at least one empty. Then, after a restless night I get up to the tub having backed up and I had to clean it (using their thin towels) myself before I could take a shower. Same thing for one more day - but the tub didn't back up!! Not a good experience.

There was some remodeling going on at this motel, but I must have got one of the old rooms. The heat element is located right next to the toilet, consequently the whole place had a smell of urine, and very strong if you used the bathroom. It's in an old part of town. We were provided one 1-1/2 inch by 1" bar of soap and the towels were very thin. Upgrade and spend extra money on a different mote.

I am not one who needs fancy bells and whistles when I am traveling. I want a clean hotel/motel for a place to sleep and clean up. I am out and about doing things all day or just driving through. The bedding and bathroom were clean and there was a small table to eat our cont. breakfast at ( I personally didn't care for the sweet rolls, but the others in my part liked them). We arrive at 9:40, after driving 9 hours, so the hot tub being open until 10 pm was very good. So we quickly unloaded, changed into our suits and relaxed for about 25 mins in the tub ( and no one came to kick us out). The hot tub is small (3 people made it very full). It is enclosed which meant we only had to walk across the parking lot in the chilly weather to use it. The pool was covered, so I didn't use it. The rooms have complimentry high speed internet access. The rooms are hard wired, so you need an ethernet cable. Now, I have wireless card and carry a retractable phone cord, for dial up, so I thought I had everything covered for getting on line. Luckily, the front desk has loner ethernet cables to borrow. The funny thing is that we had a change in our travel plans and came back thru twin falls a week later. They had a room available for that Friday night when we were calling at 9:00 at night. When we arrived, we were given the same room as we had gotten the saturday before! That night, we were hungry and asked the front desk if they could recommend a 24 hour diner, like lyons or denny's. Not only did the women at the front desk have a recommendation for a local favorite, she had a map printed on a 8.5X11 piece of paper that she then drew our route to the restaurant for us. I love it when people are prepared! If I go to twin falls again, I would stay here again.
