If you read nothing else, read this: COCKROACHES. I booked this hotel because it was rated favorably on Expedia. When we walked in, I noticed that the pool and hot tub were out of order. Disappointing. Then we got to our room. The first thing I noticed was the musty, disgusting smell, then the cockroaches. We found them on the walls and the floor before we even had a chance to set down our luggage. In addition to the cockroaches, there was a large brown spider and some small black bugs on the wall of the bathroom. We immediately went to the front desk and asked for a refund. They said we had to contact Expedia. I did. Expedia called the front desk and asked for a refund, which the Americinn refused to issue to us because it was “not possible.” No explanation of why. We went back to the front desk to ask why they denied our refund. They called the manager, who does not speak English well, but only kept saying that his hotel is clean. I assure you, it is not. After about an hour of back and forth, we finally left, $150 poorer. Expedia was not at all helpful, and I will never book with them again. This hotel should be shut down. You would be better off sleeping in your car.

Nice place. Terrible hospitality
This property is well kept and clean. Breakfast is middle of the road. The management however is unfriendly and unhelpful and without social skills. We stayed 4 nights. On our second morning I was awakened by knocking on the door at 9:00 am. The man that had checked me in was at the door and wanted to come in to service the room. I told him I need 15/30 min. He told me no. I then asked my husband if he wanted to go ahead and leave. I told the man we would leave in a couple on minutes and shut the door. I went in the bathroom and the door was closed. The man came into our room anyway and nearly opened the bathroom door on me. I was livid. I yelled out and told him to get the Hell out. He left. Then when we came back. We had to go to the desk because we had no towels in our room. We needed to do laundry. I went to the desk and asked if I could get quarters for the machines. . Told me “No”. I asked how long the wash and dry cycles were. Got a shoulder shrug. I’m not sure if the manager and wife are owners but if they are they really need to work on their social skills if they want to succeed in the business of hospitality. Our experience was not hospitable at all. Neither one of them ever greeted us, smiled or acknowledged that the even saw us in passing by us in the hallway, lobby or breakfast room during the course of our stay. Our daughter live near Parker’s prairie. We’ll try another hotel next time

Trouble checking in
The room was clean and roomy. Bed was comfortable. Nice long counter in the bathroom. Skimpy with the soap and shampoo. Check in was a little shaky as hotels.com charged our credit card but their payment to the hotel errored so we weren’t able to check in until they straightened it out with the hotel front desk. It took awhile to reach hotels.com but once we reached them they told us to pay the hotel the whole bill and they would reimburse us.

Rude staff
Not sure why the manager found it necessary to pound on my door at 9am, wondering if I needed help checking out. Check-out is at 11am (it says so right on the sign on the wall), so why the rush to get people out of there? Next time, I'll drive the extra minutes to Alexandria, and stay there.

We won’t be back
This hotel has gone downhill since it was a Grandstay. We won’t be back for several reasons. Arrived late (11:40 pm, called to let them know) and was told no rooms available on the first floor. We’ve never stayed on any other floor. I asked where the elevator was and was told they don’t have one. We had a cart full of stuff since we stayed for 5 days. I’ve had 2 knee surgeries so not thrilled. Apparently they are trying to save money as the common areas/hallway was not air conditioned. It was stifling. Lamp did not work, had to ask for a light bulb. Cut back on breakfast (didn’t even bother). No eggs, no meat, crock pot with dried up gravy for biscuits. Pool hours are 9-9 instead of midnight on weekends so not able to swim. Shower shelf was scummy so obviously not cleaned thoroughly. I couldn’t understand the front desk clerk (he had an accent). No ice machine on 2nd floor. This hotel used to provide Bath & Body Works products for shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Now it’s a packet that would in no way work for my long curly hair (glad I brought my own). Like a ketchup packet. Kleenex were like wafer paper so had to use a minimum of two per time. Went through an entire box so doubt they are saving money by going cheap on supplies.
