The web page made it look nicer than it was and the room smelled. Also the air conditioner was very loud, had a hard time sleeping because it was so noisy.

You get what you pay for

Went for an overnight stay, and that's about as long as I'd ever stay there. Room was really small, but clean. The bed sheets were scratchy and very low quality as well as the bedspread. The TV was old and outdated, it also kept messing up and we had to turn it off and on for it to show the picture. The outlets didn't work except for where the clock was plugged in. I recommend you bring your own toiletries unless you want to smell like generic soap. The roll of toilet paper was also almost out and there were no other rolls to use, thankfully I only had to use it once. And when checkout is at 11am, it's at 11am. They called while we were getting ready to leave, then immediately banged on the door. The owner was sitting outside waiting. It felt very uncomfortable with him there, watching like we were doing something wrong.

HORRIBLE! DO NOT STAY! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

Cons: Poor breakfast, stinky, dirty, bed uncomfortable, poor customer svc., poor parking, dirty carpet/bathroom, dirty towels/old, no continental bkfast, unfriendly owners, no spanish channels
I stayed recently (July 2011) and it's the most horrible experience. Stinky, dirty, uncomfortable beds, dirty bathroom, dirty towels, no toilet paper (used one left almost empty), continental breakfast a joke! one carafe of OJ 16 OZ, dozen mini muffins and one pot (12 cups) of coffee. Owners not friendly (no English) they did not what what I was asking!!! parking a pain (very reduced). Bed was so stinky that I had to go buy a can of Lysol I was afraid of bed bugs or something else. DO NOT STAY! IT'S HORRIBLE!

Experience Review

The Hotel was centrally located near a freeway, the service received from the staff was very good without any problem or difficulties. the continental breakfast started at 8:00 AM instead of at least 6 or 7:00 AM.

Sweet & Simple

This hotel was very small yet had all the services we were looking for. The rooms were newly remodeled and very comfortable. This place was worth the money we paid for it. The front desk person was also very helpful to us. Thanks American Inn!!
