Very well worth it! I will never spend too much money on hotels again! I needed a safe place to stay while attending my conference. The hotel where conference was at charged $269 per night. Then I found Americas Best Value for cost of $88 nightly. Initially I was skeptical, but I decided to try it out.
The place is safe. The rooms are well worth the money. Clean, air is clean. Bathrooms are clean. The staff are very friendly. The place is close to downtown. I stayed for 3 days. Upon check out, I felt like I have been handed back over $500 (comparing two options I was contemplating), which I can do so much with! I am usually not so generous with stars, but I thought someone else might be interest on my opinion. Go for it.
If you are Ray Donovan fan. You will be happy to learn that the ending of Season 5 Episode 5 was filmed here. You can see the hotel sign and the CTBC bank building in the background as Ray is leaving.. It is a nice hotel for the money and the beds are quite comfortable. It is in an excellent area near everything.
Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, and amazing staff! We were able to walk to Dodger Stadium and back without any problems! We also left something valuable in our room when we checked out and didn't realize in until later in the day. When we called to ask about it they said they found it and were keeping it at the front desk for us. Thank you guys for being honest and keeping our valuables safe!
I called ahead to see if I could get a room and pay for it over the phone. The gentleman on the line said that they could not do that and to visit the motel in person to get the room. When we got there, another gentleman was there and told us that they could take reservations by phones. Due to the late hour we got there, we decided to take the last room they had. It was a single double bed for 3 adults. The room itself was fine, but the reservation snafu took off 2 stars.
Room was nice and clean. Wasn't very big but fine for our stay. Restroom could use some detail cleaning. Tip: bring your own shampoo/soaps for shower
Better than expected. Recently redone. Up to date, clean and contemporary.
Got in really late after my truck broke down so we didn't sleep much but the man at the counter was so sweet and said if we needed to stay a few hours later to rest then we could (I had my 2 babies with me). He was so generous and polite I really felt welcomed. And altho we didn't stay past breakfast time our short stay was very pleasant.
I booked with Americas Best Value Inn at 811 N Alvarado Street as a last resort as I was initially looking for something even closer to downtown LA in order to better accommodate myself for an event held at the Galen. However, I could not have been happier with this outcome seeing as the staff was super friendly and accommodating, the rooms (although older) were immaculate and recently renovated, the surrounding space (i.e. the parking lot) was freshly paved and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Should I attend another event downtown, I will undoubtedly be booking with Americas Best Value again! Great experience overall, especially because I was not expecting it
As an overnight guest, I had a great experience. Check in/out was quick and easy and the room was very clean. Only issue was that the front desk person would be off doing something and so you'd have to wait for them to return or notice that someone is in the office waiting. Besides that, I would definitely come back.
Looking for a clean and affordable place to stay in the Silver Lake and Echo Park neighborhoods? America's Best Value Inn could be a good choice for you. The donuts and coffee in the morning are also a good choice. The rooms are very efficient, but they will provide exactly what you need--bed and bathroom--without the frills. My one complaint would be the gruffness of the front-desk staff. They seem to be expecting you to screw them over, with either the heavy emphasis placed on the deposit for room damages or the parking situation. But after check-in, you're good to go for a snooze.
