I was traveling in from out of town for a funeral and when looking online, this seemed to be the best option. I do recommend getting a hotel from a neighboring city/town before booking here, truly. Parking is on the smaller end, but close to the entrance. The location was okay, there’s nearby gas stations and stores. The gentleman running the desk was polite. As for the hotel itself, it’s MUCH nicer online than in person. Upon climbing the steps to the second floor, there was a large AC unit laying on the floor from the time of my arrival (6pm) and it was there after I checked out (8:30am) - which isn’t a huge deal, but with the issues I had, it adds to the list of showing the upkeep of this hotel. Upon entering my room, there was dirt tracked on the carpet throughout the space. The shower head has not been cleaned and has a great deal of build up on it, and if you enjoy a hot shower - you’ll be disappointed. Personally, I don’t like hot showers, but I found myself turning it as far to the hot side as possible and still finding it a bit cold. The top of the door frame has some residue on it and before you suggest rust, it was not - it was a sticky substance that did wipe off when I rubbed a napkin along a small part of it. My sink was not properly cleaned and had damage to it. Plus, a plethora of other things. My room was genuinely dirty - like someone got food on the walls and door frames and it was not cleaned off. My pillows were stained and smelt - which led to me being uncomfortable with sleeping in the bed. Anywhere I looked, there was something to notice. I truly don’t expect above and beyond when getting a hotel, they’re not brand new and I keep in mind THOUSANDS of people have stayed in the room I’m in. I usually book a Holiday Inn and have never had any issues. But everything from the dirty walls and floors, the dirty pillows, the bathroom being a wreck - this was genuinely the worst hotel experience I’ve had. The room next to me was a family with children and one of the children would knock at my door then run to hide, which the father and mother made no effort to correct and on his second time doing so for that morning, they only told him to “Hurry up” so they could “go to breakfast”. I would say their behavior is a reflection of what kind of people stay at this hotel.

On the plus side, the woman at the front desk was very sweet and friendly. The shower in our room had great water pressure and the bed was comfortable. Sadly, the rest of the story…”back” door to the hotel didn’t lock. Reported to them and they confirmed that there was no lock. What? Several towels were stained. Pull out bed hadn’t been pulled out in I don’t know how long. Filthy. There was confetti in the pullout and no bedding. We cancelled a future reservation. AmericInn used to be a place we could count on. Very sad.
