American Inn

The room was clean-looking, with comfortable beds, good prices, and a nice hard floor. The restroom worked well for our needs. The bathroom shower and windows really need to be included in the weekly cleaning, though. There was mold on the window, and those issues need attention in the rooms. //A2B//

If you’re on a tight budget and really need a motel, look at the room before you take it. Check that it smells and looks okay, and that you don’t get a bad feeling. If it passes that test, give it five stars. You get what you pay for, folks, so wake up. For five-star service, go to the Hilton.

The rooms are roomy, and management was really nice. Still, I was nervous about sleeping there because the neighborhood didn’t feel great. Homeless men and women were going through the trash cans outside my room, and the people next door were peering into my car windows. I’d only booked a couple of hours to sleep while driving through, thankfully.

We felt like the staff treated my family as if we had a plague, and we practically had to beg them to include our room when they made their rounds. Later, at Wal-Mart, we realized we’d left our food card on the bed and called the caretaker to check. He said it wasn’t there, so we tore apart everything, even the vehicle, looking for it in the Wal-Mart parking lot. We all agreed it had definitely been left on one of the beds. When we went back and told him we were sure, he pulled it from his pocket and said it had been in the trash. Very suspicious.
