Americas Best Value Inn Geneva

If you're travelling with a pet, the "pet fee may apply" is a bit inaccurate. It absolutely does apply and it's $25 per night. My dog stayed in his crate, we were there 3 nights, gone all day, just there in the evening, I left the room spotless, but the fee is a rigid fee. Yet, people smoke all over the property and it blows into the AC vents from outside plus there is smoke and incense (trying to hide the smoke) in the building. Staff are very nice and seem to really try but the rules are too lenient re: smoking and too rigid re: pets. An extra 75 for my spotless dog was unfair. Usually a "pet fee may apply" when I book (I do this a lot) means there may be a charge if extra cleaning or sometimes means a one time fee for cleaning upon check out. Had the extra 25/night been stated upfront, other hotels would have been in the same price range and considered. Including newer ones without smoke.

I had LOW expectations when I arrived after reading the previous reviews. Many of the things stated in previous reviews were untrue. I had a completely peaceful nights sleep unbothered by anyone or any noises. In fact is was silent throughout the night. Was the room dated and old, yes. Was it the worst room I have ever stayed in, no. The sheets and bathroom were both clean, and the AC worked well. Here is the bottom line, it seems the people who run this place are making the best of what they can. They took over a run down hotel and are making it somewhat less run down. Will I book another stay if there are other option available, no. This was my only last minute option in Geneva and for one night it was acceptable, a little pricey for what it is, but like I said it was a last minute option.
