Clean, comfortable place with some solid character

The american inn is a simple, modest, cinderblock building that's been decorated with a down-home touch that speaks to pride in the area, and a willingness to support other businesses in this small town. From the wagon wheels under the main front arch, to the creative cattle-brand artwork in the halls, it feels like there's more to this place than just a clean, well-run business to these folks. The rooms were clean, and everything in our room looked to be custom-built by someone who knows their way around some carpentry -- simple, but comfortable and built to last. The usual amenities were there (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and you can have trouble finding those in properties that cost way more). The decor was definitely a page from the owner's own book, the classic El Camino out front and the other vintage project cars just show a bunch of style and a bit of wry humor. I'll also call out that the mattresses had nice, zippered protectors on them, and it was all hardwood floors, both of which go a long way in making me feel like the owner cares. I'd stay at this place over one of the big chains any time.

This had an excellent rating but it was an old building, very simple furnishings. No coffee or breakfast offered. I don’t believe it deserves that high of a rating!

We came in late for a long day of travel. Our room qas quiet, exceptionally clean, and i am picky trust me, beds were new but too soft for my back. My family slept like babies, and i did too o ce i fell asleep. Check in was a breeze! Lobby and grounds were very clean and inviting for a small western town!

The motel room was very clean. If you are looking for an upscale motel this is not for you. If you want comfortable, affordable and clean this is a great place. The lobby is open from 4 pm to 11pm nothing fancy just friendly staff.
