Americas Best Value Inn Gaylord

Online pricing is not accurate. Location is only convenient as it’s right off the highway but that being said depends on the side your on as well, as you’ll probably hear traffic all night depending on how busy it is.. I can’t really tell you how well the service is as I only stayed for night’s rest after work. But did have to wait for someone to show up to the desk. Room wasn’t what you’ll expect 100% as I have pictures of bad paint job, repaired holes in wall, painting/picture covering wall plug, lamp/s not plugged in.

It's a decent place to sleep and was $8

I chose this hotel because I was traveling with my dog, and the other hotels in the Gaylord, MI area did not allow pets. The good news is that the fee for my dog was $10.00. The bad news is that the hotel had several issues I found to be of concern.||||The first thing I noticed was that the outside doors were open to the public with no keypad for locked entry. This hotel is directly located near the entrance to Rt. 75 and has a lot of traffic through this area. It was alarming to me that anyone could enter the hotel day or night with no issue whatsoever. The room door had a deadbolt, but no additional lock at the top of the door to prevent entry. ||||Cleanliness was another area of concern. Although I saw no bugs in the room, I did see a large number of ants in the hallway. Although the sh

Good family run business. Nice room. Newer remodel. Good bed. Hot water. Decent minimal breakfast. Decent TV and netflix. Toilet needs rebuild kit. Over fills, I did minor service to tank but needs new kit.
