When I first booked this motel at such a reasonable rate I was a bit concerned - BUT nothing to worry about. Really one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in at any price. Friendly staff. Room laid out well, air conditioning / heater worked fine, not rattles, etc. Super clean room, same for outside. Nice pool though I did not use it. Walls seem well insulated. Large TV, worked well. Instant hot water all times of the day. Highly recommended.

A clean hotel makes all the diference.
After a long day on the road-14 hours, it was nice to stay at a place that was clean, quiet and right off the highway. Good breakfast- actually the best hotel eggs i think i have ever had - not off a menu. Would recommend this hotel highly.

The beds are horrible (so hard you might as well sleep on floor). Pillow were flat no stuffing they matched how horrible the bed was. The air conditioner did not stay running unless you kept pushing the temp down. It was so hot in our room. Ugh so disappointed 😞

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.
