Stayed at this motel in St. Mary's in July 2012..The ice tray in the room had black mold, coffee maker was dirty. ( no other ice machine on site) linen was not changed for the 3 days we stayed there, I marked the sheets and they were still the same ones. Carpet was dirty, window air conditioner noisy and not matter how you directed the air , it still blew on you. Room dumpy. Beds extremely uncomfortable. Comforters on the bed are the same as 7 yrs ago when we stayed there, at that time this was a nice motel. Not any more..Would not recommend anyone staying there. There is a Holiday Inn express in the area, we tried to change locations after the first nite and they were booked and I can understand why as this place is a dump. Front desk person was nice however they charged extra $ as we needed a 1st floor room. We are in our 60's and could not carry the luggage up 2 flight of stairs. No elevators. « less

I would like to apologize for your stay. It is not our practice to charge extra for a first floor room. However, if the room type is changed there could be an additional charge. Rooms with one bed are less then rooms with two. We also have on site a large commercial ice maker which is located in the vending room. Our hotel is also dedicated to going green and helping with saving energy. It is our policy to wash bed sheets after the guest’s third night unless otherwise requested. I would also like to take this opportunity to let you know the hotel is now under new management, we are in the process of making renovations on our hotel rooms and retraining of the hotel cleaning staff. We would like to have the opportunity to have you back to try us again. .

“Watch how they raise the rates”

You think you will be charged one thing and then you get there and they charge you a higher rate. The communication over the phone to reserve your room ( using a index card) gets lost and they think you only reserved 5 days when you reserved 8 so then they tell you that you made a mistake and charge you for any time over check out time. You may stay with a group and have a group rate but then when you want to stay extra and use your Choice Plus card they tell you that you cannot and raise the rates. They take your credit card # and charge you before the end of your stay. The rooms are not special. I do not plan to stay here again. « less

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience you had during your stay. I would like to invite you back to our property and try us again. We are under new management and ownership. The index cards are now a thing of the past and we now use a standard Microsoft program. In regards to your Choice Plus card, our hotel is not affiliated with the hotel chain which uses the Choice Plus card, we have our own membership rewards card program. I am sorry if you were charged before the end of your stay it is our practice to pre-authorize the credit card at check in and then charge the credit card at time of check out.

I recently stayed at great value inn & suites in st Marys. Our room was pretty dumpy looking. Nothing like the online photos. For the price I paid (higher seeing it was during big race week) is the same price as a near by hotel. Pool was super small parking lot is a tight squeeze. Staff however was great! « less

While all of us here at America’s Best Value Inn, St. Marys try our best to make everyone’s stay an enjoyable one I would like to apologize to you that your stay was not to your expectation. Our prices here are very competitive with the other hotels in our area and at times can also be less than the other hotels. Our hotel has 64 rooms and 22 apartments on the property, we have parking space for 120 and a large gravel parking lot to the west of our hotel for large vehicle parking.Our hotel is now currently under new management. If you are ever in the area again I hope you will let us try and make it up to you and serve your hotel needs.

We were looking for a reasonably priced motel in the area for a 3 night stay. There are not too many in the local area. This motel was adequate, though nothing special. It was clean and well maintained, and did have amenities such as a microwave, mini fridge, hair dryer and high speed wi-fi. The continental breakfast was very basic; cereals, bagels, packaged muffins and pastries, coffee, juice and milk. The complimentary newspaper was a plus. I thought it might be noisy since it was on the main road, but since the town shuts down at dark there were no noise issues. There are very few places to eat in St. Marys - fast food and nothing open too late, so eat early or plan to eat in a nearby town. Although the motel advertises a "restaurant" on the premises it mainly serves domestic beer and popcorn. « less
