The room were a pit, sheets were stained with God only knows what. The other clientel that were there were very scary people. The managers, were nice... More

Just needed a place to get some sleep and the price was ok. Guy at the front counter was friendly. Asked for non smoking and the first room they gave us smelled like a bar. They gave us a second room but the heat was off. Carpets looked like someone changed their oil on them. No toilet paper in the... More

They must have thought so too because there... More

Upon late afternoon check-in, my husband was given a room that was not ready; the bed was unmade and there were dirty linens in the bathroom. They did give him another room but after making him feel like the other room should have been OK. The second room was cleaned (?) but had cobwebs around the ceiling and no baseboard.... More

The Mason City Thrift Lodge is now called America's Best Value Inn. Being budget travellers on a cross country trip, we have to make every penny count. I got a 1 Queen Bed Room for $39.95 + tax. This is half the price the rest of the known motels in the area. Of course, you get what you pay for.... More

After sleeping in this hotel I now believe that cars can be comfortable. This hotel will make you wish you had rather slept in your car. The beds here will make you believe that the floor has got to be more comfortable. The hotel is located next to a major through-fare in town which means that you will here road... More
