I chose this because it was the cheapest option. I did not expect much, but the room looked like there'd been no updates on the room (aside from DIY repairs) since the 70s. It looked very dirty in the bathroom (where there is no counter) with mold on the walls (likely because there was no bathroom fan. Also, paprr thin walls and venting lets you hear EVERYTHING nearby. If it was a little more private and clean, this place would be awesome.

The property is an old style motel, with rooms arranged around a parking area in the shape of a C. The rooms are heated by a wall mounted heating and air conditioning unit. My room was cold when I arrived (early February) as if the heat had not been maintained recently, and it took all evening and all night for the room to warm up, with the setting on 78 degrees. Although the room had ducts in the floor for HVAC, it was apparently not functional. Better to stay here in the spring and fall.

The room we were assigned was dirty, the floor was covered with leaves and the toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks it was full of nasty looking water. Will not stay here again!

Never again

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. On checkin I told lady I had an online order. Was treated like I had came in for a room. Charged $20 more than what I agreed to. The heat sucked and was off when I arrived even though the temperature was 24 degrees. Sheets had cigarette burns in them. Couldn't lock bathroom door and it wouldn't stay shut so if I was going to the bathroom and you were outside you could see everything.

Got my money's worth.

Cleaner than most older motels. Small but was more than adequate for an overnight stay on a hunting trip. Heat/air unit was quiet and there was a good sized TV to watch. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

My stay at American Inn

My room and bed were smaller than I expected. I thought the bed would be a Queen instead of a Full. The office staff were strange as they didn't seem used to American customs yet. The office was closed without notice as to when the person would return. There was also some loud music coming from another room after 10:00 pm. I didn't call to complain, but I thought this would be more appropriate place to address this situation.

Not worth the price

I got there a little early than check in time, she told me she was waiting on my sheets to get done so she could make the bed, not a problem she checked me in and I went to go get something to eat, bed was made room clean but dated not a problem with me, going to bed I pulled the comforter and sheets back, the comforter had stains and so did the sheets, went to work next day came back room clean but only 1 cup left for coffee for Wednesday, not a problem thought they would put more in when they cleaned again, much to my surprise came back from work room was not even touched, the rest of the week didn’t clean or empty trash and not even the sheets or anymore towels or coffee until Friday, emptied trash gave towels no coffee and didn’t even change the sheets, I’m glad I booked on line I would no pay the 50 dollar charge if you just walk in, even booking on line was still a little to much for there. Good location for restaurants though

Ample parking area, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. Not on the main street, so there was minimal traffic noise. Nice clean rooms and clean bathrooms. Large TV screen, and ample room to put luggage and move around. Comfortable bed and pillow. Much needed air conditioner kept the temperature just right!

State Fair Stay

Checked into the room which was very small and couldn’t get rid of the flies! The bathroom toilet lid and seat would not stay up to pee and when you sat down the toilet seat cover was hitting your back! 😬
