I stayed here at this hotel and since they are in the process of remodeling part of the downstair building, I asked to see the new room and was amazed to see the upgrades.  I checked in to the new room and what a comfortable bed it was. I was instantly able to sleep.  New furniture, free wifi, new bed, new lighting, new 50-inch television new curtain, new bathroom shower, refrigerator in the room - what more do you need as a business traveler.  A whole new room for just the right price. 
 Ashley is the property manager there and she is wonderful and friendly, in fact, the whole staff is friendly.  I met with the new owner there whose name is Gill who is an extremely nice, very helping and friendly person. 
I am very picky about the non-smoking room being allergic to smoking smell and the new room was just perfect for me.  I travel a lot to East Peoria and I will be staying here whenever in the town here for sure.  I am looking forward to seeing the new lobby which is about to be finished with the renovation.  I will definitely give them full 5 Stars due to my great experience even though they are still finishing up renovation and I definitely recommend their new rooms for anyone.

Newly remodeled rooms are great

Has the basics: beds, bathroom, wifi, tv, a/c. That's about it and that's about all we needed. Would have been nice though to have a mini fridge and microwave. Places on the other side of the river seemed pricey and since it wasn't too far, decided to stay at Americas Best Value Inn. As it was raining the day I checked in and there's quite a bit of walkway in the lobby to get to the stairs, I feared I was going to slip and fall because the floor was very slippery. (Shiny, bright, clean.) Discovered there's another entrance on the other side of the building much closer to my room so I kept using that instead. Carpeted halls helped prevent falls. (Not as shiny or clean looking.) Side entrance wasn't locked. Room smelled smoky for being a non-smoking room, to the point I worried the hotel would think we smoked. Started talking with the staff as I was checking out as I don't know the town but was trying to find some places; staff was super nice and printed out a map for me.

Just enough comfort for your needs

The room is not the worst I have ever stayed in. But it is definitely not worth the charged room rate. It it so small you need to go outside to change your mind. There is no table on which to place anything. There is a small stand next to the bed under which sits a refrigerator.  Another small nightstand on the other side of the bed has a microwave on top. There is no closet or clothes bar to hang clothes. The bathroom is okay with a sink and tub. As I said it's not terrible.  But for the price, you can do better in East Peoria.

Not terrible but not worth it.

worst hotel EVER!!!! FROM ants all over bathrooms and soap, to the roaches or scary Beatles all over the headboards. I wanted to throw up... I travel as a part of my job, been in thousands of hotels and probably have reviewed at least 1k of them!! But this masterpiece takes the cake, Just disgusting behavior unfitting of a manager just for starters. This man threatened to charge my neighbors extra because he thought the children were playing too loudly. They really weren't that loud... And A few doors down, I overheard him harassing the three disabled gentlemen with two service dogs. he was charging them based on them having animals, and they were quiet as hell too. he tried to charge us for the broken air conditioner and the unworkable television. ohh and when I looked it up, I found those guys with the service dogs can't be legally charged for dogs. working dogs are considered medical equipment, and can not be charge as normal pets. well, I assure you, we let know they were being taken advantage of!!! to the parents of the kids in three different rooms too!!! The manager literally wanders the halls night and day, and yells at patrons, or threatens them with added hidden fees!!!! this has GOT TO BE ILLEGAL!!! Anyway, it's a dirty 1 star hotel, all decent reviews seem to be him, just posting them from his desk In the lobby. All the other hotels in this vicinity, I can say, are worth a stay. especially the best western plus in peoria or the redroof around here somewhere. But this one doesn't even have queen mattresses that can fit 2 adults each. out of 4 of us, one had to sleep on the cold hard floor. negative stars for this one, guaranteed!!!!! added a picture of my plant slummin' it here with me. God I wouldn't give my worst enemy this hotel or it's shifty staff. ohh yea, continental breakfast is ONLY CHERIOS, hope you're a fan of stale cherios!!

constructive crit now- hire a real manager, the man running the property had all the guests severely on edge with threats of fees and overhead charges/hidden fees.

a good manager and good face in front helps but the best foot forward in the hotel business. Repeat clients are everything, make their stay a great one, and you'll have more revenue from overbooking than from charging criminal hidden charges to your consumers.

good luck, do better before we come back to review again in a few months. we'll be looking for positive or negative changes that have or have not been made or addressed. ♡

This was a Hot Mess full of hidden fees, bugs, and especially moldy carpets that never get to dry!!

People talking and smoking cigarettes all night outside the windows, including the front desk attendant. Lots of slamming doors and extremely loud tvs. Beds are not queens as I was told but doubles. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Terrible

I can honestly say my experience at this motel was literally unbelievable. I booked this motel based on the price and its location relative to where I was going to be for several days.  I arrived around 1100 PM. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw a sign indicating something about remodeling. There were several dumpsters in the relatively empty parking lot. After wandering around to find the lobby, which apparently had to be re-located, I could not believe the stench and the overall run-down condition. There were stains on the carpet to the point of in certain areas one would not be able to determine the actual color!  Hoping the alleged "remodeling" was actually improving things in the rooms, we found our room upstairs and went in. The odor was even worse! It smelled like there hasn't been a bit of fresh air in that room for decades. There were clumps of hair (human I think) strewn on one of the beds,  The sheets were simply pulled up, as well as appearing to be very old and worn.  (Oh yeah, the drug dealer was standing outside the door when I arrived too.)   
    I immediately went back to the lobby and canceled my stay.   I cannot believe this establishment was not closed and torn down DECADES ago!!!  It was beyond bad.  
 I cannot stress enough how run-down and disgusting this building was.

Beyond belief!!

In the vein of "you get what you pay for" our stay at the  America Best Value Inn in East Peoria was an experience. If you're looking to meet local meth addicts, well this is the place for you! We were greeted at the door by an amped up gentleman in his 30s who was nervously talking on the phone about two hot women he works with (those lucky gals). As we were checking in, he came in (still on the phone of course) and asked the poor woman at the desk why there wasn't more complimentary coffee (I mentioned he was amped up, right?). She informed him it was 8:00 p.m. and there wouldn't be more coffee until the morning. It was then that I noticed he had a teardrop tattoo near his left eye. At that point, I was just hoping my son and I wouldn't become tattoos 2 and 3.
After debating whether or not to drive the three hours back home, I decided there was a pretty good chance of not getting murdered in my sleep, so we headed up to the room. I don't know what was more charming, the multiple stained carpet or the aroma of years of illegal pot smoking.

I had not eaten, so I left my son who wanted a shower to make a run to Chipotle. "Don't open this door for anyone....got it?!?" He nodded with an eye roll.

"He's had a good life," I thought to myself.

I came back with my dinner and turned the TV on. The TV had a high pitched whine that only my son could hear (he's part canine apparently), and he asked me to turn it off.

"Why didn't you shower while I was gone?" I asked.

"Dad, go look at the shower."

I walked into the bathroom to find a shower stall that looked like it was being held up by  mold. "Hmmm, yeah, I wouldn't walk in there either." I thought to myself, stifling my gag reflex.

After getting ready for bed, I walked to the bed and stepped in something wet. As the carpet in the room matched the carpet outside the lobby, this wasn't a surprise. I will not speculate as to what the liquid was, but I assume my sock will be subpoenaed in a future court case.

I will say this--surprisingly the bed was comfortable, and we both slept well.

Yikes

This motel lists several landmarks in the greater Peoria Area that are simply NOT true.  It is MILES away from both Bradley University and the Peoria Zoo (it's not even called the Glen Oak Zoo anymore).

Check the facts about proximity

Cheap yes. Safe absolutely not. Signs everywhere saying not responsible for stolen items, be sure and lock car. Room carpet was gross, so dirty, dead bugs on bed linens, bathroom gross didn't want to take my shoes off. Man pacing all night on his phone outside along the building screaming into his phone. Wrestle royal in the room above us. Fire, police and ambulance there when we returned from eating supper and had went to Bass Pro to buy a knife to protect ourselves because the doors and locks not good. Room smelled like smoke.

November 4, 2017

I only booked this motel because some of my international family and friends had already purchased their rooms in this motel and I wanted to stay near to them. 

I arrived at 7 pm with my 9 year old son. 

Things I could have lived with, because I knew it was a cheap motel:

- the maid running the front desk
- low, sunken in beds with ragged bedspreads
- an 1990s box television
- paying for WiFi

Things I could not live with:
- an opened, broken window with no screens
- an empty bottle of vodka in the table drawer
- a locked fire extinguisher in the hallway

In short:We left! 

I drove about 10 minutes up into Peoria and was greeted by and absolutely AMAZING Motel 6. It was cheap, clean, comfortable, and had free wifi. Go there!
