AMERICAS BEST VALUE INN

We drove down to Detroit Lakes for a concert. We pick this place due to its location and cost. This family run hotel is clean and everyone was very helpful. Our room cards stopped working and were replaced very quickly. It is a basic room with a few updates. Being pet friendly was a factor for us. The breakfast room is small only three tables but we never had a issue. Lots of food and coffee available all day.

I had a great stay here back at the end of July first of August. It was perfect. Clean room and facilities. The people here are extremely friendly and helpful. The owner is a great guy who is willing to interact with guests. Paul was great to interact with. I was there by myself and hung out in the yard area. The room was very quiet and comfortable. I needed to rest and was able to do so. Probably got the best sleep I've had at any hotel. The value for your dollar is extreme high here.

This hotel had good ratings so I thought I'd give it a try. But I stopped my online reservation process abruptly. I had entered all my information but paused to read the fine print. Good thing I did! In the fine print was a notation that my charges (for a room where the rate was less than 75 dollars) would include $33 for "tax recovery charges and service fees," making my final bill above a hundred dollars. I canceled my reservation process immediately and took my business elsewhere.
