Great property. Staff was helpful and friendly. Very convenient location to food and entertainment, and also great location to drive into Des Moines. My only complaint is the bathroom. The bathroom had no fan for ventilation which was very inconvenient. Great place to stay will stay here again

Stay at the AmericInn
Our experience was not good. We were supposed to be there for one night and did not even stay the night because of how uncomfortable it was. We came into the room and found dirty sheets, smelly towels, the room smelled of mildew, dust particles hanging from the ceiling, and the headboard being smeared with what looked like grease. The shower was not clean and neither was the shower curtain. We had asked for new sheets which we had got, but we were still uncomfortable staying in the conditions of our room. We will not be staying here again.

Hotels.com lies directly to me
There were issues with reservation between hotels.com and the property. Both entities lied to me about changes I made before deadline for changes. I have never had such awful customer service and do not recommend using hotels.com ever again.

Not the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Our tv did not work the entire stay. The front desk was alerted right away and their answer was point the remote at the lamp. What?? We asked house keeping to give us clean towels and take out the trash. We got fresh towels , but they didn’t not remove the trash which had piled up as we were traveling with children. The hotel was fine for what we paid, but I am not sure we would return.

Not best experience, but not the worst. What I did not like the most was the breakfast. VERY little to choose from!!! Then, the warmers are turned down so low, the food was luke warm! The coffee was just one pump server and not even in the breakfast area! The sign in the room said if you were staying more than 1 night (we stayed 3) that the bed linens would only be changed every 3 days. But, they never even came into the room to clean or just make the bed!!!! Not at all impressed by this hotel!

The rooms were very dirty and the pullout bed in both rooms, we had to switch because the other smelled so bad, were dirty like they had never been changed from previous guests. We ended up going to another hotel. Awaiting refund I will likely have to fight to get. The lady at the front desk was very overwhelmed with all the nights issued but handled things calmly with myself and other guests while talking to her manager. This place definitely needs some work to compete for the same price as a new hotel.

Review
The room was clean and comfortable but the customer service I had received was horrible. The lady ask me for my credentials and i gave them to her and she did her job then slam them in front of me and mentioned we needed someone to be 21 or older. Then I gave her my mom’s and then proceeded to make a facial expression unpleasant. Then we got our key cards and left. She never mentioned breakfast times. When we got to our room it wasn't working so we had to go back and ask for help. She did help but it looked like she could use better service towards the visitors.
