Americas Best Value Inn Polson

Americas Best Value Inn Polson

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic view of Flathead Lake right from the room which had a wall of windows to view through! The lake is right across the road (main drag so if sensitive to traffic noise, you'll hear it at least if in the bed closest to the road, but it didn't bother us at all. We also heard the pitter-patter of small dogs in room above, but they didn't bark so not a problem. We were on the end of the building and had no one in the room next to us on the other side so can't comment on whether noise would transmit from there. The room was very nice - beds comfy, linens/room very clean, +Keurig coffee/maker (w/decaf too/no real cream:-(), +fridge (no freezer), +microwave, +tv (unused), nice tub/shower combo w/toilet in 1 room, sink across in the main room. Free parking right outside, free cont brkft (only protein: hb eggs, yogurt, cream cheeses, (+bagels too); toaster, breads, waffle-maker, 3 cereals (cheerios, raisin bran, corn flakes). Very pleasant and helpful staff. Well-run, clean, relaxed place."
