"Overall, our stay was exactly what we needed. Family (14 total) stayed overnight for a wedding and basically needed a place to change and sleep. More importantly, the kids wanted a pool to swim. The location, pool and breakfast in the mornings were perfect. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Everyone raved about the black out blinds. Traveling, we aways forget or need something, and Walmart was right across the street among the myriads of fast food places including DD and Starbucks and even a Menards. The greatest strength of this hotel IMO was the staff. They are OUTSTANDING. I had to call numerous times to confirm, change and cancel reservations due to sick children, adding rooms, etc. It all was handled with friendliness and ease. They were very accommodating in early check-ins and late check-outs. We travel a lot. This AmericInn was the least fancy and not upgraded as others. I think it was a Motel 8 prior, but the staff made it a great experience, plus it was economical for our entire family. The Wi-fi is a little touchy and I needed to call down to get password. If I really needed it, I would have investigated it further. It initially said I had to pay unless I signed up for some points thing. Ummm no. There is only one vending machine on the first floor and ice machine was not working. But again, there is a decent size mini fridge (not college dorm size) and microwave in room."
