American Inn Motel Canon City

The owner was very accommodating, even letting us check in at noon and handing us cold water bottles when we left the next day. The room has an old-fashioned feel, with shag carpet and a metal key, but it and the bathroom were spotless. The water pressure was great too. A really good stay for the price, and I’d come back.

I used to own and manage hotels, so I notice when a place is well maintained. This motel was clean and quiet, and the owner clearly takes good care of it. I was impressed by both the cleanliness and the hospitality.

It’s an older motel, and that shows in the worn carpet, paint that needs work, small TV, and mismatched furniture. The beds are firm, though, and the rooms are clean. I’ve stayed here a few times, and the owners have always been friendly and helpful. It’s fairly priced and within walking distance of downtown, the park, train, restaurants, and more. Once the lights are out, those little dated details matter less.

We’ve stayed twice because we have family in town, and this is our first choice. The room was very, very clean, and management was friendly, kind, and courteous. It’s a great place to stay.
