I heard from SomeGuy and SomeGirl that the Americas Best Value really sucked. They were having breakfast at the Comfort Inn with Joe and I when Mike said "you see we really aren't staying at the Comfort Inn" :roflblack:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Cindy & I stayed at the Best Western. It was reasnably priced, had the indoor/enclosed pool and hot tub, and all the other standard amenities.
There was one thing though that I took the time out to fill our the motel survey only to comment and compliment the little girl, Sylvia, who took care of the breakfast room. That little girl was a "working machine". She was constantly cleaning, resupplying food and just over all outstanding attention to the people who ate there. I would not hesitate hiring her to work for my company. She represented Best Western very well and I let them know. (Plus she was cute as a June bug)

I agree, GreenStay was a nice hotel
We stayed at GreenStay also and were impressed with all but the crushed foam pillows. Nit-picking for sure. We will bring our own pillows next year and stay in the same place. Good breakfast, nice clean rooms, gym and laundry. Oh, and the people were really nice and friendly. We had a nice place to retreat to.

Chris, her sister must have been working at the Comfort Inn because we had a "working machine" there too. She kept offering to refill our coffee cups which I thought was going above and beyond.

Just tossing my 2-cents in--
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on St. Louis Street- just not far from Pitbull Powersports. I think we were the ONLY Spyder Owners there which was sad as it was not conducive to meeting others and talking and making friends etc., but this hotel was very very nice. Free USA today each morning- clean- I mean walking on the carpet with white socks, didn't even turn black! (always nice to know) Free breakfast daily, very clean, very nice, and quiet. Free Wi-Fi- etc., Well maintained and no defects detected, not like some of what you all are reporting from the other hotels. Hearing some of this, I am glad we stayed where we did!
Just FYI- for Spyderfest 2014!
I was at the Comfort Inn and the staff was very accommodating and the room was OK, about average for a Comfort Inn. I spend a lot of time in hotels, sitting in a Comfort Inn right now. I like HIExpress, I'm Platinum at Holiday Inn 60+ nights/year and Choice Motels. I always stayed at the HIExpress in Rolla, MO during past SF's. Always get a good clean room at a HIExpress.

Shawna at Comfort Inn took care of the breakfast area. She too refilled coffee cups and juice glasses. Even brought more food and took away used plates etc. Now I'm not a hugger but she insisted on giving each one of us a hug before we left Sunday. And I swear I even saw a tear on her cheek as we were leaving.

Thank you o much for your comments. Rest assured Len and Mogang will look into this and our recommended hotels will be checked out before they make our list. For 2013 America's best was still a Motel 8 when we visited them and we did not see what you experienced. I apologize and we will o better for 2014

top tier motel: holiday inn express, hampton inn, they become quality inn/days inn and such after a while, then those become econolodge, americas value inn. comfort inn fits somewhere between top tier and days inn/quality inn(much closer to top tier) and do build their own buildings but there are some that are around bit too long but 98% are good. best western are hit and miss yes but more hit than miss for the price.
only motels i don't look inside room first before i check(i travel A LOT) in is holidayinn express, hampton inn and comfort inn.

:agree:
Guys, you have no control over the places to stay. :bowdown: You can block the rooms and it is up to management to set the rates. You can let the management at the America's Best Inn know that it did not live it's name, but informing us on the avaliable hotels is enough work for you guys. I think we can voice our opinions to the management of our respective hotels and hopefully their service/accomodations will improve for next year! Thanks again for your AMAZING work!:thumbup:

Stayed down the street at Days Inn. Won't stay there again. Lots of little maintenance issues in both rooms we were in. The first room let the Friday rain in, through the ceiling. Evening desk clerk showed no interest in knowing what the issues were. Fact he got a bit testy when I offered to list them. I can only imagine his attitude when he had one of the other Spyder couples evicted after a somewhat spirited exchange when the occupants, quite rightly IMHO, refused to plunge their stopped-up, overflowing, toilet themselves or mop up the mess.
