I arrived here at 630 pm. I was assigned a room, went to the room, and found it was occupied. I returned to the front desk, and was told there were no rooms available. That was it, no attempt at providing an alternative. Expedia came through and provided a refund, but I’ll never make a reservation with AmeriInn again.

I liked the fact that there was breakfast. It wasn't the best, but it does the job. The staff is nice and respectful. There was no tv remote in my room so i didn’t like what. Other than that my whole experience was 4/5 considering the price and everything else.

The fridge in the first room we had didn't work. My room card kept deactivating so had to bug the front desk at least once a day. Beds a little stiff. Stagf super friendly. Very clean. Quiet and safe area, was a female on the first floor. If I go to Iowa again I would consider staying here again.

We stopped for one night—arrived late. The young man/clerk was wonderful. Unfortunately there was no elevator and our room was on the second floor. He saw that we had a number of items and found a room on the first floor-actually an upgrade. Hotel has a great breakfast, nice pool area. It was clean. Behind car dealership, but safe and quiet. Not real far to dining.

There wasn't much to like. The carpeted floor was wet, with water dripping from the AC unit. The smell of mold was pervasive. We had to leave, because not only was it disgusting, my grandson was having difficulty breathing.
