Bad smell, dirty, sink didn’t work, muggy room. Sketchy area and our window was shattered and only “fixed” with tape. If you use Expedia, don’t buy a protection stay plan because even if you have it they won’t offer you a refund. Staff was decent enough but overall a dirty hotel. It’s worth the extra money to go to a slightly more expensive place. It was gross to even breathe in the room

The room I was assigned was an unlabeled room directly next to the manager's office/home. The door was right in front of the bottom step of the stairs. The bed was encased in a bed bug containment sheet, the chair was uncomfortable, the bed was like a slab of wood, the pillows had no fluff, and the sheets had a black stain in the corner. The television was tiny and the speakers were quiet, there was no table or desk, and the refrigerator was disgusting. Furthermore, the bathroom was so cramped I almost couldn't use the toilet and the shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot. I wouldnt even recommend this to a homeless person.

The check-in was pleasant and the location was good, however, the room was muggy and reaked of cigarettes. The air conditioner (mounted high on the wall) never blew out cold (or even cool) air. To stay cool, I slept with a damp towel as a blanket (which definitely helped).

Water and Safety

I don't like drinking water from the bathroom sink. There was only one sink in the room. The bottled water at the front desk was too expensive. And the water tasted like it was tap water.

Upon arriving, no one was at front desk. I had to call out for help and it took a few minutes for help to arrive. He was not friendly at all. I gave him my name and ID, he quickly told me that it would be extra for the two of us because the reservation was only for one. I told him I booked for two , he said I didn't do I have to pay 20 more. I said I can get a better place then this for an extra 20, ( flea bag) I didn't think of pulling up my email and showing him until much later. I told that I don't want the room he said no refund, but I bought the insurance for cancellation. I told him that. He didn't care. Probably be when I filed a claim to get my money back they said they need to talk with hotel owner first. I haven't been refunded yet. It's been 24 days. My itinerary states I made reservation for two . I don't know why it didn't show on hotels reservation, and still don't. Worst time I've experienced thru Expedia. The hotel was a dump. Not one car in parking lot, they needed money and they got for giving me no services at all. I do not recommend this fleabag motel. It's rated two stars for a reason, I should have known better.

Friendly staff, but room for improvement.

The room reeked of cigarette smoke and whatever chemicals they used to mop the floor with. When booking I wasn't given the option of a smoking or non smoking room so I assumed it would be non smoking. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, but a hole in the ceiling where one used to be. There were cigarette burns all over the bathroom sink. The bathroom was very small, when sitting on the child sized toilet my knees were nearly touching the wall, and I'm about 5'7". The shower head was in a wierd place and made it hard to use. The lights outside our room were very bright white LED's which gave the area a prison feel. There was garbage strewn about the sidewalk in front of the dumpster, but someone did pick it up at one point. I was charged $20 cash for adding a friend last minute to my room, as well as a $20 deposit which was given back to me at checkout, but wasn't mentioned when during booking. Despite all of this, the manager was very friendly and easy to deal with, and readily available to help when I accidentaly locked my key in the room. I probably won't stay here again and would gladly spend double to stay at the Sheraton or Hyatt next time I'm in town.

Is horrible you can't call the thing hotel. The place is following down and they said that their not responsable if something happens to you also they don't provide room service so no cleaning in the room no towels the place is in poor conditions lots of drug addicts and they don't give you your money back so you get to stay even do if you don't want to stay. In the app the pictures look like a nice place they lied is expensive I could of go to a real hotel with that money I am hopping you guys do something about this place it should be closed

Was in town at the Golden1 Center for a four day event. For the location and ease of access to the major city places, it’s conveniently located. The pricing was right, and if you are in town for official business and little time to spend at the hotel save for sleeping then this place is pretty a great deal. Carry some cash. The owners (couple) very personable and responsive. Would surely return.

Motel with mo’ smelly problems

I’ve stayed at some seedy motels before and this one takes first prize. From walking up stairs I could smell the urine soaked walls. Walking into the room 1 working light. Floor felt like it was going to give way from underneath, bed was disgusting. I hate doing bad reviews but this motel was a nightmare. I stayed inside of it for no more than an hour. I took a quick COLD shower cuz the hot water wasn’t working and quickly left. I cannot believe this place is 1) in business and 2) offered on hotels.com. Staff was very rude at check in as well.

The office was not too promising, I had to ring several times to get a response, and then he did not seem to know how to find my reservation on the computer. He then asked for a $20 refundable deposit, but I didn't have any cash, so he seemed to let it go. Hard to hear him through the glass window. The room was recently renovated and mostly quite acceptable, though there were no lamps in the room, only very bright overhead lights or darkness. I was there for one night and got a decent night's sleep, my expectations were not very high.

Front desk attendant was nice. The sheets were stained and many of the surfaces had holes in them. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. Part of the room or the bed was either dusty or moldy because my allergies were really bad.

Clean but noisy.

Internet wasn't working, so they couldn't scan my drivers license. They accommodated my desire for a non-smoking room, which was nice, but it shared a door with owners unit so I could hear everything. Very noisy until 11pm.

My goal is not to put people out of business. I just hope that American Inn is haled accountable for the conditions that they expect people to pay for. I caution against going to that place unless they are able to rip it down and start over.
