Pros

Cons

Seasonal pool not available year-round

“Americas Best Value Inn Smithfield delivers clean, functional rooms that emphasize value. While the property presents a somewhat dated exterior, the rooms are well-kept, and the friendly clerk can enhance the experience; just be prepared for spotty Wi-Fi and a non-operational pool. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize cleanliness and quiet, this hotel could be a solid option.”
