The hotel was clean, the room was really nice. At check in and out there was no front desk staff present, unless you rang the phone. Otherwise I would recommend this hotel to others.

not so good

the room was very clean, beds were comfortable. Had to get our own towels,took our trash to the front desk, then they were out if clean towels. Covers did have stains which made it look dirty. The loud guess that stayed up way passed midnight drinking in the lobby, kids running throughout the hallway. we were on the second floor, right above the front desk /lobby. we were there for 2 nights stay, was there for a state volleyball tournaments, which our daughter played in. and it was tough to sleep with all that , then the 2nd night, more people drinking, if my family wasn't so tried from the all day tournaments, we would have left and drove the 2 +hours.

Room amenities are scarce. No ice maker or coffee machine. No glasses. When I pulled out the hide-a-bed there was a dirty plastic cup and no sheets on bed. No extra sheets or pillows in the closet for the bed

Huge mistake staying at Americ Inn.

Tv, and refrigerator were not working later to find they were not hooked up after remodel. Phone wasn't plugged in. There was a light switch that didn't turn anything on. No toiletries available. Very little provided for breakfast including rotten fruit.Desk help wasn't sure of breakfast hours nor were we asked how our stay was. Parking lot was a mess with construction supplies. Very unlikely i will ever stay in any Americ Inn again.
