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.

You get what you pay for...
We were looking for a more affordable place to stay and this fit the budget. Photos on line looked ok. Upon arriving, in the evening, the receptionist was outside hanging with friends. Seemed odd, but she came in right away to greet us. When entering the room there was a "cologne" smell, probably from the cleaning solutions? We had a "window" to the pool - and we had no children. The curtain was stained or moldy at the bottom. Most likely from the air blowing & the pool? and the furniture looked like a dog had gnawed on it. With that being said, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was good, the space to get ready was spacious. Breakfast was okay, but we weren't really looking for that when we booked the stay. Most likely won't stay again. Hotel just felt run down.

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.

The hotel smells musty, and the air conditioner was old. The window was rusty and the shower drips non-stop.
