Americas Best Value Inn DeRidder

This hotel room was SO nasty! When we first walked in, there were dead termites all over the floor and all over the a/c unit. I put the a/c unit on high cool and it was barely blowing air. We took the two filters out of the unit and it started blowing a little better. The filters were so full of dust that the air could not blow out. All the dresser drawers were broke. The smoke detector was ripped from the wall and thrown into a dresser drawer. All the lamps were rusted and peeling. Then we get to the bathroom. The tub was FULL of black dirt and grime. The toilet bowl had dried poop in it, all over. The toilet seat rim was full of dried up urine, from men using the bathroom. The toilet paper holder was ripped off the wall and laying behind the toilet. The floors were disgusting! We had to go to the store and buy cleaning supplies. My husband scrubbed the tub and I cleaned the toilet. The toilet itself almost fell over when sitting on it. It leaked after flushing. All over the floor and the tub was very slow to drain. The whole sinkand counter top was gross. No one has cleaned that room in a long time. We did have clean towels/washrags. Surprisingly, the bed sheets were clean and so was the comforter. But, at this point, we didn't want to sleep in the beds! We brought our own pillows and blanket, so we used them. I know the old saying, "you get what you pay for" and we usually go for the more expensive hotels because of this, but lesson learned.

It was very quiet, and we felt very safe!!! We asked for a King size bed, but ended up with a double bedroom!!! Even with that it was a good stay!!!!

There isn't a free, or actually any, breakfast available at this place (Expedia's site says there is). The room and sheets were fine. They didn't provide enough towels for 2 people, and one looked stained.
