America's Worst Value Inn
If you want disappointment, do not stay at America’s Best Value Inn in Kalispel, Montana. I have stayed in five-star hotels; and while I did not expect this stay to be like that, I also did not expect drapes with holes, stained fabric on the only chair in the room, sockets so loose that they were incapable of holding any plug (and one set of sockets did not have a cover plate), three pillows for two adults instead of four, thin bath towels, sparse towel supply (one wash cloth and one hand towel for two adults), and difficult-to-step-in bathtub with a high rim. Also, the room did not have a blow dryer or a clock, and the sheets on the bed were thin with little cover, although the bed itself was comfortable. It also lacked a basic suitcase rack, and the room sadly featured walls with cracks and chips, and some of the walls had uneven paint coats. There was one nightstand with a lamp that resembled an antique from the 1950s. The room also smelt like stagnant cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. The air in the room was stale, and we occasionally had to turn on the air-cooling unit, which made the room chilly after a while. The air-cooling unit was extremely noisy and made sleep difficult. The one plus mark is that the woman at the registration desk was friendly and loaned us an air freshener. Also, even though it was the hotel’s policy to only have three pillows for our bed, she still kindly gave us another pillow. For $200.00 per night, I stayed at better hotels that offered everything that this place was missing: pleasing room arrangement and furnishings including sufficient pillows, freshness, ample and thick towels, hair dryer, and a suitcase rack. The continental breakfast was okay. It had milk, orange juice, and apple juice for beverages. Also, it had muffins, cereal, fruit, and waffles. The room did have a decent small refrigerator and microwave. The TV and remote worked fine, but the Television Channel sheet was inaccurate. Because this hotel is close to the much visited and picturesque Glacier National Park and because of summer with abundant tourists, the owners of this place feel they can charge more for less. Unless you have no other place to rest your head for the night, I would go elsewhere, even if you might pay more. It will be well worth avoiding the disappointment and aggravation that awaits you if you patronize this hotel. My wife was born and raised in Montana, and she even thought this place was below Montana standards.
