We booked this as we were traveling because the pictures looked good. When we got there at 10 pm it felt very unsafe for our family to stay. We ended up finding a different place on down the road.

I never have left a review before, but this place was the worst place ive ever been at. I was afraid to touch everything. Mold, broken pieces, Spider webs, odor. Hair still in tub and shower. No fan in bathroom, AC barely cooled room. Musty, dusty, disgusting. No amenities other than a refrigerator and microwave which fuctioned moderately.

Enjoyed My Stay

Really enjoyed our stay at American Inn Chesapeake- Portsmouth Virginia. I recommend this hotel for anyone that is traveling and needs a place to stay. The hotel was quite at night so you can sleep. Stay there if you get a chance but bring your own coffee if you are a coffee drinker like my husband

Read several reviews before I booked and there was about the same for bad and good. Wanted to try a new place outside of va beach because I’m just here for work. Front looked decent ish. Got to the window to check in and the lady was very nice. Pulled around back and it was another world. Got into my room And just plain terrible. The mold and paint peeling, nasty sticky carpet, 80’s bedding, gross bathroom. I was tired and figured I’d lay on the bed clothed not even taking off my shoes and at least get some sleep. Didn’t feel like taking a shower at that point was a good idea. Fell asleep to be woken up at 12am to no power. Called it then, got my stuff and tried to sleep in my truck the rest of the night. Absolutely no go, I would not bring my family to a place like this none the less let my dog be in this place. Definitely do not stay here, I don’t know how places like this don’t get shut down.

You get what you pay for

Just what you'd expect for what youre paying. No 5 star establishment but if you go in looking for a bed and to save some money its worth it. Just dont go in hoping the 5 second rule dropping food applies here.. I just put a couple air freshners on the A/C vent and wasnt much bothered by anything else.

Stayed here 2 evenings, not too many issues aside from leftover belongings like fake eyelashes stuck in the bathroom, a sock and some hair. Our rooms were non-smoking though one reeked of tobacco when we first arrived. Not the hotels fault that someone smoked in it but we wonder if it was checked prior. Beds were comfy and staff was nice and accommodating to any problems we had.

Nonsmoking room smelled like cigar smoke, large crack in bathtub, mold on bathroom ceiling, person who runs check in was there when we checked in and then disappeared for at least 30 minutes--we needed an additional towel (only provided two and the reservation was for three people), the ice machine was broken, the refrigerator did not get cold, it was very noisy and much use of weed. I finally got a hold of the guy by phone to ask for a towel and to ask about ice availability. He brought both down about an hour later--well after we had gone to bed and repeatedly knocked on the door until I finally gave up to answer it. He apologized and said he was working alone for which I am sympathetic but the place was downright gross. Next time we'll sleep in our car. :(
