Americas Best Value Inn

For the price, this was a good value if what you want is a comfy bed and a shower. Breakfast was skimpy but adequate.

Nice place. Friendly staff. Good rates. The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars was breakfast was a little sparse, but then the room rate was great so not complaining.

I love small towns. So quaint, so downhomey. So when I took a trip to Osceola from the big city of Phoenix, I wanted a nice clean room centrally located to where the action is. Thankfully, there is one strip of road where the action is in Osceola, so finding a place nearby is not too difficult… ha.

Room was clean, very clean. I did not expect to get any toiletries in a small, little town value inn, but I was surprised with shampoos, conditioners and soaps to lather my body up as I raced down the hallway naked in excitement. After the chafing subsided from soap residue, I was able to rest my body on the bed… fairly comfy for the value, and I did sleep well. In all honesty, that night I was up until about 1am with my best friend drinking and being an out-​of-​town-​asshole…
When I was told we were getting up at 6am to go have breakfast buffet, my task of getting enough sleep seemed daunting. I awoke at 545am, head very much fuzzy, but room quiet and clean. I was a tad late, but the close location was helpful. I came back and got some more sleep because I was super ripe and hungover. I actually left past my expected checkout of 11am… but housekeeping never knocked, with the «Do Not Disturb Foo» sign up. Good job you win! Staff is also very kind here. A nice Indian woman took my reservation and advised me to leave my key in the room, no worries all paid up.
~The Bad~
Only negative is this lingering smell. It is the chosen smell of the tenants, I am sure. I literally… literally. still to this day can not describe the smell. It just was not working for me at all… AT ALL. Bad smell guys, why not just go with Axe Body Spray on a timer? That would have been more pleasant than the smell that wafted throughout the place. I also had a hard time with the tv. The remote was not working very well. I am sure that those staying in this small town really want to watch TV badly. Haha… doubt it. So it really does not hit my radar, but I guess I can knock a quarter of a star off for that.

Go on
and book this place if staying in town. The rates are decent and its a really nice stay. Bring some Glade Plugins and the room will smell fine after an hour… haha. Enjoy your time in Corn Country, USA.

More than fine place if you’re traveling through Iowa with a large pet. They have no weight restrictions on dogs and no additional fee. Bed was comfy, linens were nice. The place was a bit chilly and damp. Front desk was very nice and helpful. We’d definitely come back here if coming through the area again.
