All of the staff was polite and knowledgeable. The room was clean. The pool was open until late (11pm). Which was a relief as I didn't get to the hotel until after 10pm. It was relaxing to be in the hot tub after the long 5 hour drive. The breakfast area had lots of options and was well tended to by the staff.

Great place to stop for the night. The blue-collar staff had a welcoming smile when you came in. The pool was just right with a working jet hot tub. The hot breakfast in the morning was spot on. If you're tired and need to stop for the night this is the place. Has restaurants in the same parking lot.

Had a great stay, the location did a terrific job. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, the shower had great pressure and all the hot water you could handle. The staff was courteous and welcoming. The breakfast was good too. Next time I’m in the area I’ll be staying with them again.

The AmericINN was very clean and cozy with great service. I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to try the breakfast in the morning, but as I walked passed I noticed lots of great options. Will be keeping an eye out for AmericINN’s on my future endeavours.

For the price we paid and being a hotel right off the freeway, I was pleasantly surprised! The beds were comfortable, and the rooms smelled fresh. There's a grocery store along with, restaurant chain options all walking distance. The pool is HUGE and makes it comfortable when others are in it as well to have your own space. We travel 4-6 months out of the year, and it was our first time staying at an AmericInn facility. We will consider this hotel chain again.

It was about 8 30 at night and we sleep early and we were really sick of driving and tired and since we booked a room earlier in the day we were ready to sleep and the receptionist at the desk was more interested at watching something inside in her desk than helping us check in and she just say hi and just takes the id and card and just showed a clip board at us without any confirmation of the price. Someone wrote a review about bed bugs which I was very paranoid about but no bed bugs and everything else was pretty over and we were told it would be 129$ over phone and with taxes and fees and that is our bad for assuming it was 129$ including the fees and taxes but we definitely over payed for the room in the end as we checked out today morning it turned out to be 145$ which is just crazy and definitely make sure you double check with fees and everything. 145$ is not worth the room we got which was very small for that price and the bedsheet did have a few small stains here and there and the chair had dozens of stains too. Check in - 11/7/2025. The breakfast was ok and when we checked out the guy who was there was very nice compared to the lady we checked in with.
