Its a basic hotel with a basic breakfast, but works for a quick stay on a road trip. You have to drive through a car dealership, which had 2 car alarms going off all night. The only thing thats walking distance is a QT across the road.

Great desk guy!
I’ve been traveling for a couple of months and have stayed in several hotels during this period. The guy who checked me in at this hotel was hands down the most courteous and friendly of all the people I’ve encountered. Everyone should feel as welcomed as I did at every hotel.

Disappointed
A/C was leaking all over the carpet which made the floors wet. There was a distinct smell throughout. Everything was just old and worn down. I paid for two nights, but left after the first night. I couldn’t handle another day in that room.

Someone tried to break into our car. We notified the front desk and they didn’t do anything. We felt unsafe and told them we would be checking out. The hotel didn’t charge us for the room, but Expedia refused to refund our money. We will never use Expedia again. Safety is obviously not a priority! Definitely don’t book this place!!!

This was not what we expected for an AmericInn. Front desk was super friendly and helpful but it went downhill from there. Just an overall 'yuck' feeling the moment we walked in the door. Run down, headboards were slimy, hair on sheets, the chairs in the room were disgusting - worn out and filthy. We will not stay here again.

I got a room on the first floor by the pool. I mostly didn’t mind the pool noise/voices except at 2:00 a.m. one morning when 4people decided to play in the pool. When I called, the manager got them out quickly. The curtains in the room had a 5” gap over the sill so there was a lot of light at night from the pool and the parking lot beyond. I don’t know why there needed to be such a big gap. The bottom of the tub was slippery like an icy sidewalk. Maybe there should be a suction bathmat or some kind of non-skid appliqué or paint. The bathroom was very clean and the hot water was great, but I was seriously afraid of falling. Staff was great. I really appreciated that. Thank you.
