Americas Best Value Inn Bowie

The pillows and sheets were worn out. Bedspread was dirty. Tiny bathroom. Hard to turn around. No extra towels. No breakfast even though a large sign advertised breakfast. We won’t be staying there again.

Bed was bad enough that we could get much sleep. Shower is of an "aggie-ish" design--front section is fixed, so you have to get in it to turn water on and get hit with cold water. Ice machine doesn't work; why provide ice bucket. By the next morning the bathroom light didn't work.

No breakfast- I guess COVID is still their excuse but I’ve been to a lot of places where this is no longer a factor. Not much tv at all- supposed to be 48 channels (which were very poorly selected) but a bunch of them (12) were unavailable. The tv set itself was not HD and quite fuzzy. Just not a good experience. I have stayed at several ABVIs and they are all on the lesser side of things but this one was the most disappointing.

I got a better rate dealing directly with the motel but the attendant seemed to have problems finding my reservation-but it all worked out. The property is under renovation and so breakfast is not available, the ice machines don't work, and the lobby was in disarray. The attendant did bring a ziploc bag full of ice which was thoughtful, I guess. There was only a single bath towel in the bathroom but it was a single bed room, so i guess that was OK. The room was clean but quite sparse. Fridge and TV worked fine as did the plumbing. Probably you get what you pay for.
