I know that this was not a 5 star hotel, but I didn't expect the Americas Best Value Inn in West Monroe, LA to be in such rundown condition. The bottom of the door had 2 spots in which you could see daylight easily. That really made me uncomfortable. The handle on the commode nearly fell off several times (it sort of dangled) and you had to flush carefully or the water would keep running, and the faucet in the sink wobbled when you turned the water on and off. The thing that bothers me most was the open space to the outside on the bottom of the door. I detest insects, and was concerned that something would crawl through the holes and into the room. I stuffed 2 small towels into the opening at the bottom of the door to deter any varmints. I only took pics of the door because it was the worst part to me, qnd the pics are showing that you can see daylight at either end of the bottom of the door, and the last picture shows the outside of the door and the kick plate at the bottom is about to fall off. This was my first and last visit at an American Best Value Inn.
