What guests think

Across recent reviews, AmeriStay Inn St Joseph draws consistent criticism for poor cleanliness, strong odors, insects, and widespread maintenance issues like broken locks, dim lighting, and faulty fixtures, alongside reports of rude service and surprise cash deposits at check-in.

Some guests instead found rooms acceptably clean or quiet and described staff as friendly. Breakfast is commonly described as very limited or unavailable, with concerns about juice quality and a lack of hot items. The location is convenient to the highway but can be noisy, and a closed pool appears in multiple reports. Expect very basic accommodations with significant compromises.

We chose this location because it advertised a gym on site. Evidently there has not been one there for about 5 years! Please update the listing. Breakfasts was also very disappointing, everything was stale.

I overlooked the bad reviews about the cleanliness and broken locks (which were correct) because of the location convenience for us and the fact that it had a pool for our kids...the pool was closed down. We are really frustrated that they advertised a pool and didn't actually have it in working order. Definitely not worth the $120 for the night and not fair to advertise and have people pay for it and not be able to provide, bad business in my opinion.

Property not as pictured, or very old picture. Shared parking with smoke shop, massage business, and mexican restaurant. As there had been snow just a day before, ice hazards in parking lots. Coffee pot in room, but no coffee. No TV guide in room, to know what was local channels. Room was sufficient, but did notice that the headboard attached to wall, was very dusty. Unfortunately, there was a problem with a backed up sewer the next morning, so coffee only in lobby.

Had to pay extra for my husband when we rented a double room that sleeps 4 people but our reservation was only for one person when I booked with hotel.com. The room was not clean walls looked like they had stuff smeared on them. The bathroom had black mold growing in it. The bathroom door had duck tape holding it together and couldn’t even shut the door all the way. None of the electrical outlets worked properly the one by the tv had a short in it and wouldn’t stay connected. This is definitely a pay by the hour hotel would not recommend staying here again

The room felt like an old Motel 6 and stunk. I held my nose and would have gone to another motel but had driven 12 hours and needed to sleep, there was a large space in the door that I could see street lights coming through so I can only image what insects would be making their way in. The sheets were old and didn’t look like they had been changed, the price was double of what I had paid for a Ramada Inn the night before 500 miles away and deserved 4 stars compared to this motel.

This place should not be listed as a hotel. Strictly a motel and should charge far less. Problems with security - broken door lock latch; cleanliness - an easychair that should not be in room but in a bonfire; comfort - paper thin sandpaper towels that surely were used by Abe Lincoln and facility - shower regulator that was to fall off. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The room seemed clean enough, what we could see. The lighting was so very dim; it was still dark in there with the lamps on. The lock on the door was broken where someone from the outside had tried to break in on someone. It left us feeling unsafe. We had an issue with our billing, but we had screenshots, so the attendant didn't make us pay again. There was no warm breakfast items. Toast, cereal, and some packaged mini muffins. The milk was in a carafe; we didn't know how old it was. One washcloth for the two of us. Don't go to this motel.

Room was very uncomfortable due to front door barely closed at the bottom allowing bugs to come in. Bathroom faucet was a struggle to turn on and off. Refrigerator didn't work so I wasn't able to store bottled water or drinks in the fridge or my leftover food to stay cool and fresh. And you could hear traffic coming and going all night at the location of the Hotel. I regret booking to stay at this Hotel. It was a Hotel from Hell for me. Thank God I survived the night.

This was a very poorly maintained property. For a handicapped room, which was not what I needed, just the only king bed room they had. They did a fair job of cleaning. The bath tub drained slow, & hair came up out of it when we turned the water on. We should have left when we checked in, but we had been on the road all day.

Room was clean but a little rough. We checked in late (dark out) and it was hard to find a light that would turn on when we came in. The switch by the door didn’t work. One lamp wasn’t plugged in and we had to unplug the refrigerator to be able to use it. The toilet paper holder seemed like it might fall out of the wall. The door had a deadbolt and we felt safe but the safety lock at the top of the door was broken/couldn’t work. We were too tired to ask to change rooms but ours could have used some attention.

Even though there is a policies section on the Expedia website, they fail to disclose that they require a $ignificant deposit ON TOP of what Expedia already took out for the room. And while you have to provide this deposit immediately, they tell you it could be 3-5 business days to get it back. So unless you budgeted for having an extra wad of cash laying around doing nothing for a week, you're pretty well screwed.

Do not patronize this establishment. I booked a room for my girlfriend to stay for a night. When she tried to check in the staff told her that there was $100 CASH ONLY deposit and would not let her check in. Hotel.com has horrible service too... Hotels.com stood before their shady business partner and refused to offer a refund. Now I have to dispute the charge on my credit card. What a disaster. Thanks @Hotels.com and @GuestHouse.... you both receive ZERO STARS... do NOT recommend.
