I have never been more upset and terrified staying in a hotel.
I am a female driving cross-country alone to bring my mom's ashes home. I have had good experiences at other AmericInns in the past, and mistakenly trusted the brand.
Immediately, twice, two unauthorized people were given a key to my room and tried to open the door. Luckily, I always keep the chain locked. Shortly after, the same front desk guy who checked me in asked to know what my name was, because the "system" forgot to check me in the first time.
I gave him my name and told him no one better touch this door again.
A few hours after that, at around 8:00pm, the cops were called on the room directly next door. A physical altercation involving law enforcement and my next door neighbors was happening directly in front of my door. Banging, yelling, punching...
It was quiet after that, finally. However, at about 4am, the same room next door broke out in another verbal altercation.
Needless to say, you are not safe here at all. Do not book.
In addition, it is the most run down AmericInn I've visited. Mold in the bathroom crevices, the front door did not shut properly, and required special attention to latch. Paintings stolen off the wall. Chipped paint, dirty windows.
Not a reedeming quality in-sight for this property. I think I'll head out early and skip the free breakfast. I don't want to risk being near a fist fight for eggs while someone else has the opportunity to break into my room.
