Americas Best Value Inn - Birch Run / Frankenmuth Area

This is actually a pretty nice hotel. We have stayed there in the past and the prices for rooms are very good especially because the rooms are clean, have wonderful beds and excellent wifi. The breakfast was also adequate although when you're near Frankenmuth, there is so much to choose from to eat that I don't spend much time on the hotel breakfast. So why not a a 5 out of 5? Well this time I thought it would be nice to have a little bigger room and actually a larger fridge so I booked the room with the kitchenette. Now as mentioned I was planning on eating out most of the time so cooking was not really planned but if I had wanted to cook, this room offered no more options than a regular room except for cabinets filled with nothing. Yes technically there was a little room that looked like a kitchen as it had cabinets but it only had a mini fridge and microwave. The cabinets had no dishes or pots and pans so if someone was planning on cooking this would be useless. I will stay here again but I won't bother with a kitchenette room as a standard room is pretty much the same. One other thing, there is no elevator so if you need to avoid climbing stairs be sure to geta floor on ground level.

The bed a clean and we had all the simple amenities one could expect in modern travel. There were some issues getting the tv to work, but it he staff was more than willing to come correct the issue for us. The bed was comfortable and we didn’t hear much ambient noise from other guests (granted the parking lot wasn’t packed, but it wasn’t empty either). I would definitely come back, the online booking made it easy to find a room and reserve it.

An okay place. Had issues with first room but the hotel remedied the situation by moving us to another. There is no elevator so be aware of that. The hotel shows it age. Showers need repainted, a lot of flaking. But to their credit they still worked fine and the water was hot. Lots of towels and TV had a variety of stations. Breakfast is waffles, toast, muffins and ceral & fruit. Coffee & water 24/7. Adequate breakfast area. Location is only about 8 minutes from Frankenmuth. Whirlpool only. Fridge & Microwave. A/C was nice and cold. Would consider staying again but would price shop first.
