Americas Best Value Inn- Rome

Most of our business was in, around, or north of Rome, but this seemed to be the only reasonably-priced motel available convenient to our travels. PROS: The property is clean and neat. The owners are pleasant and helpful. In the tradition of the past, daily tidying of the room, with trash and used bath linens removed. They were very aware of and pro-active about an unusual outdoor bug issue that is plaguing the entire area, with the bugs (neither stinging, biting, nor dangerous) finding their way into the rooms. Every effort was made to prevent them from getting in, and removing them when they did, on a daily basis. Great guest care! Easy access to the property. At least the nights we were there, everyone was quiet and well-behaved. Reasonably priced. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well every night. Plenty of hot water. Plenty of TV channels to view. Great AC! In-room coffee supplies (although it is the common cheap coffee that always smells old). CONS: No freezer in the in-room refrigerator to keep my water frozen for our hours out in the heat and humidity. None of the USB plugs on the wall lamps worked (had to use a wall outlet adapter) for recharging my phone. None of the reading lamps on the wall fixtures worked. One wall lamp didn't work at all. No (alarm) clock. No iron. VERY minimal "continental" breakfast.
