Americas Best Value Inn Sarasota Downtown

Booked the room at the last minute because of my feeling sick. We got there at a reasonable time and all I wanted to do was lie down. I felt extremely ill and I didn't want to deal with the grouchy, short and arrogant desk attendant or her nasty looks or attitude. All I needed to do was lie down but due to no information regarding their security deposit of $50 we had to sit and add an application to my phone. After downloading the app and exchanging $50 in cash with my girl we paid the deposit and got our keys for the room. We grabbed our stuff and headed to the room and upon entering that room we were overcome with the smell of moth balls and a strong disinfectant smell. OMG, it was so strong it was sickening. Not what we needed or expected. Not happy about the service or the room and we haven't seen their idea of breakfast yet. God help us and hopefully that will make up for the terrible service and attitude from a horrible employee. If not this is a total zero hotel and should not be able to deal with happy go lucky travelers.

What can I say I stayed here for about a week and a half the staff was great they were nice polite and friendly very helpful I really couldn't complain about too much they're cleanliness is decent it may look a little rundown but is it older hotel room they just need to do some updating but for the price you can't beat it anyway from $69 a night 14 depending on the room you want they have a pool each room comes with the TV mini fridge microwave it's in a great location you got Publix across the street Taco Bell and McDonald's you know so on all like I said you can't beat it

Never again in that hotel...

AC in room was awesome. Pool was great! Location was fantastic. The actual building is disgusting. The entire place smells really really bad. The beds were horrible. So so so bad. I worn flip flops in the shower. Pretty nasty stuff. But the pool and location rock! Staff was okay.

The place was filthy, it had a bad foul odor and there were ants in the room. The place ****** and I would never recommend it to my worst enemy!

Service is TERRIBLE! I have stayed twice because it is downtown and cheap but the customer service is HORRIBLE. Just rude people. It is like they don't want you business. I reserved a king bed and they told me because I checked in late they gave my room away and I had two double beds. Continental Breakfast?? LOL! Grab a box of Cheerios on the way out the door. Not even any coffee. Only redeeming quality is the price.

This property is old and has not been well maintained. The lobby smells very musty. The rooms aren’t as smelly. Bed is clean. Bathroom is not. Shower is not hot. Not worth the $180 we paid.

Taco Bell next door/ walking distance. Publix grocery store across the street, also walking distance.

I am extremely disappointed I am requesting the refund I did the reservation with *******. The hotel was extremely dirty. Stinky smells terrible mold we just came received the key when we walked to the hall and went into the room. The smell was terrible. My friend started coughing because the mold was extremely high. I am asking for my refund someone who have to be liable because we paid $210 and we didn’t have a place to stay after all I don’t recommend this hotel for no human being. This is insane.
