Effingham Illinois is where Interstate 57 meets Interstate 70. I have found it a good place to stay when driving cross country since I can make weather related decisions while I rest here. Right at the crossroads is the America's Best Value Inn. This was my first stay on this property and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and... More

This America's Best Value Inn is quite acceptible for a night or two. My room was clean and quiet, and featured some surprises like a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, a comfortable bed, decent quality TP (I get so tired of lack of decent TP), and breakfast which included waffles. I felt safe in this location, and know exterior... More

The room was pretty clean, no smell. Bathroom could use some updating, but wasn't too bad. We were looking for something inexpensive and this sufficed as a place to rest for the night on our long trip. Bed was comfortable except for the plastic mattress cover (which was easily removed) Conveniently located right of the interstate. Would stay again on... More

Stayed here from 9pm to 6am while on a long road trip. Check in staff was friendly. Rate was best in area. Bed was more comfortable than any we'd had since we left home 8 days ago. Morning staff was friendly and complimentary breakfast included jot waffles, coffee, juices, milk, cereal and pastries. Would stay there again if passing theo

This motel is an easy on and off of the interstate. It is a former Howard Johnson. The motel is clean inside and the outside as well. It is near gas stations and places to eat, both fast and a little restaurant. The room was immaculate and had a refrigerator and microwave. The desk staff was helpful and extremely polite.... More

Dont expect much. After all this is not a five star hotel. But we didn't pay for one either. They allowed pets which was nice.

Again, another motocross trip. Last minute arrangements that always depend upon the weather. All of the other hotels were fully booked because of a track and field event going on in the area. We booked this hotel two days prior to arrival. The best thing about this hotel was the caretaker. He was very kind and friendly. The rating is... More
