What guests think
At American Inn & Suites, travelers describe an older, no-frills motel with generally clean rooms and a convenient highway location, but frequent mentions of dated decor, musty odors, and various in-room maintenance issues temper expectations.
Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, though some guests encountered locked lobby hours, slow or unhelpful responses, and housekeeping or towel shortages. Amenities are limited: the indoor pool is repeatedly closed and the advertised continental breakfast is typically just coffee or juice, sometimes nothing, though parking is easy and there is an attached Mexican restaurant. Overall, expect a basic, budget stay with tradeoffs between price and comfort.

When I showed up on Friday they booked me into a dirty room and then move me to another room that had no towels why do I said that the pool was open and then the following day they said nope it's close for the season because it's not heated they refuse to give me a refund and I want a refund now this was a horrible place they also had six cockroaches in the hotel room. I asked for more towels at 10:00 at night and she said no they are right there you aren't getting anymore

It was clean and the A/C worked. Pool was closed on hottest days of June. Sign said "Closed for the winter", which tells me they weren't ambitious enough to get it ready by the middle of June. No breakfast, just coffee and juice. I had to turn on the coffee in our second day there. Nice people running the place, but just doing what they have to at this time.

The property is older, but fairly well maintained. However, the bathroom fan was banging against the edge so you would hear a constant clang clang clang when it was on. The water flow in the bathroom sink was ridiculously low and made it very difficult to try to clean up. Also, there was never any cups in the room, making it tough to brush your teeth or take pills. There was a strong smell of Curry throughout the lobby and the hallways from the lobby. There is also no breakfast at the facility. For the little bit of money I save staying here, it was offset by the need to go and purchase a light breakfast elsewhere.

Hotel was fine. No frills. No breakfast. Pool was closed for maintenance. Staff was friendly and super helpful. Good location right on a major road in Boone. Hotel old but kept up OK. Strong musty smell in room when we arrived. We needed a couple air fresheners. Overall, OK but should be cheaper.

First when we arrived the desk clerk was asleep on the couch in the lobby. Next I asked about the pool that was listed when I booked and she said it was closed for the winter…it was an indoor pool and it was October 4. Then when we got up in the morning for the continental Breakfast that was advertised there was nothing and the clerk was asleep again on the couch. I hope someone will make this right or shut that place down.

The hotel was quite expensive for how old and dingy it was and the smell matched. The smell made me nauseous. No breakfast and pool was closed. Would not recommend.

The property was clean but dated. Our service was fine. The "continental breakfast" was coffee/juice and a honey bun from a box. The pool was closed for the season, even though it's an indoor pool. There is a connected Mexican restaurant, which was convenient. The room price was maybe a little high for what we received.

I was not too fond of the fact that there was an old throw-up stain on the carpet and blood splatter on the wall as if someone had been shot up in the room. The fridge and microwave weren't plugged up and working, the tub drain was slow to drain (clogged). The bedding was old and torn in some areas.

The lights were all on one switch so if y shut off the light the plugins did not work. The bathroom had not been cleaned. The toilet was not even flushed. The best thing was the shower had lots of pressure.

Very basic, everything pretty warn-out and old looking. However, they did have all amenities like fridge, microwave… coffee and packaged sweets in the lobby in AM. Despite being old and worn, it did appear clean. We thought the bed was very comfortable. We felt safe and things were quiet all night. I would stay here again - although I think it was overpriced for the age of property.

I was hoping for a better experience for the amount I paid for this room. The young gal checking me the night was very sweet but I got the feeling the room I was in does not get used very often. It did have a mini-fridge and microwave but the fridge was not plugge in or pre-cooled. There was no remote so I called down to the front desk and she brought one back for me and she programmed the TV but I didn't realize the power button and volume control buttons did not work until after she left but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal. The A/C sounded like a jet engine coming through my room. When I went to wash my face, it was rusty water out of the faucet so I had to let it run just a bit. The continental breakfast was coffee and orange juice. I booked this online so was lead to believe it would be better accommodations. Will not stay here again.

Website states that the front desk is open 24/7, lobby door locks at 9:00 PM. Went to shower in the morning and the light in the shower room did not work. Turned on the shower and the shower stream was abysmal. Less than a garden hose stream. It wasn't strong enough to even wash the cleanser off of my face. When I told the front desk at check out the only response I got was that the room was used the prior day and everything was "just fine" as if I was lying about it, or had something to do with it. Don't waste your money, find somewhere else to stay. I tried to add pictures but the app wouldn't allow them to be added.

Very clean & quiet. Advertised "free continental breakfast", but no food or coffee available either morning. Made a reservation for one room, two nights. When we checked in, they said they had two reservations for two nights each & could not cancel one since they were made through a 3rd party site & we would be charged for both rooms. Expedia had no record of the second reservation.

The check in process was quick and easy. The female clerk that checked us in was very nice and friendly. The room was clean but the bed was extrememly uncomfortable. The check out process was very odd. The door to the lobby was locked so we had to ring a buzzer and when the clerk finally answered, he was rude and unhelpful.

Its an older smaller place but the rooms are Very clean and comfortable and the staff/owners are very friendly! I had to move my college freshman home and it was also graduation at ISU so Ames was super expensive and this was conveniently close to campus and much less cost! Would happily stay again when i head back on parents weekend in the fall

Dining
The advertised continental breakfast is very limited or absent, often just coffee or juice. An attached Mexican restaurant is convenient and well liked by some.

It was clean and the A/C worked. Pool was closed on hottest days of June. Sign said "Closed for the winter", which tells me they weren't ambitious enough to get it ready by the middle of June. No breakfast, just coffee and juice. I had to turn on the coffee in our second day there. Nice people running the place, but just doing what they have to at this time.

I was hoping for a better experience for the amount I paid for this room. The young gal checking me the night was very sweet but I got the feeling the room I was in does not get used very often. It did have a mini-fridge and microwave but the fridge was not plugge in or pre-cooled. There was no remote so I called down to the front desk and she brought one back for me and she programmed the TV but I didn't realize the power button and volume control buttons did not work until after she left but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal. The A/C sounded like a jet engine coming through my room. When I went to wash my face, it was rusty water out of the faucet so I had to let it run just a bit. The continental breakfast was coffee and orange juice. I booked this online so was lead to believe it would be better accommodations. Will not stay here again.

Lobby wasn't the most inviting but the room was clean and bed was comfortable. They no longer have breakfast as listed. But they do have juice and coffee.

Very clean & quiet. Advertised "free continental breakfast", but no food or coffee available either morning. Made a reservation for one room, two nights. When we checked in, they said they had two reservations for two nights each & could not cancel one since they were made through a 3rd party site & we would be charged for both rooms. Expedia had no record of the second reservation.

The place was dirty. The hallway was dark I had to use my phone flashlight to put key in the door. Also no light in bathroom where toilet and shower was. There was people in parking lot having a little party (loud). And the advertisement said continental breakfast but No breakfast just coffee.

The property was clean but dated. Our service was fine. The "continental breakfast" was coffee/juice and a honey bun from a box. The pool was closed for the season, even though it's an indoor pool. There is a connected Mexican restaurant, which was convenient. The room price was maybe a little high for what we received.

It was great! We ended up staying 2 nights, the hotel is connected to a great Mexican restaurant and across the street from a McDonald's and Dairy Queen. Very friendly and helpful staff. We didn't use the indoor pool but it looked very clean.

The owner is great, super nice and helpful. The hotel was lower priced because it was.... rough. I would stay again if it was just me, but probably wouldn't stay with my wife again. Bed was too firm for her.

The hallways were pretty warm. We had to turn the AC on when we got into the room. The refrigerator was unplugged, so we had to get it cool before we could use it. Only juice and coffee available. There was a discount on our room card for Pizza Ranch which we took advantage of. Staff was very nice and helpful. I would stay again.
