Funeral travel
Nice place. Pretty well maintained. Hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. The only negative, breakfast was a bit sparse. Not much to choose from and some of what was to be there was empty and it appeared as though it was not going to be replaced anytime soon.

We checked in an immediately left… the room was smelly/dirty and the locks didn’t work.. we were literally the only people in the hotel and it made my teenage daughter and I very uncomfortable. We ended up staying at the Holiday inn across the street instead

This location is one with several lodging accommodations. I didn't see a lot of restaurants. There was a Perkins. However, I was there for one night, and the weather was below zero.

Cleanliness is important
My main concern about a motel is always cleanliness, & I was not disappointed at American Inn. Also, check-in was very quick! I would stay here again.
