We likely won't stay here again. It used to be a nice hotel - not anymore.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is convenient. The hotel is fairly soundproof, as hotels go. Check-in staff was kind. Mattresses were comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel is looking sad. Tile in the bathroom is dirty. Furnishings need to be refreshed. The smell of the room was not fresh. The A/C and heating were fickle. Day staff did not keep an eye on the breakfast bar and several items were out and not refilled at 8 am. The front desk staff sat on phone while we ate. The water cooler water was moldy-tasting and nearly empty. The pool was closed.

I personally would not stay at this particular location again.
Pros:

It was relatively close to the fairgrounds

Cons:

* The room smelt of smoke and cologne
*When we arrived the toilet was plugged, and never was unplugged so we were unable to use to without having to use a plunger and pray it flushed
* the site told us we would have a king bed and a twin bed. But the twin bed turned out to be a pull out couch that was bent, and your feet would go higher then your head and when pulled out it was covered in grass/hay. Along with a grass/hay mess behind the couch.

Pros:

Location to our venue.

Cons:

Facility was not updated to today's competition. Bedside lamp broken,lighting horrible,bed swaying to the middle,pull out sleeper/love seat-not even negotiable for a toddler. Sleeper/sofa old,worn/frayed arms,shower heads non adjusting, no accommodation for toiletries in the shower. Breakfast area dark, bad lighting, not appealing or fresh looking. For the price AmericInn should be embarrassed. Do better.

Pros:

Close to fairgrounds.

Cons:

I was supposed to have a smoke free room. My room definitely smelled like someone had smoked in it. Pillows were flat and small.

Cons:

I extensively attempted to contact the facility to clarify my situation for need of change of stay and was sent in circles, I got no help, or direction, the web site did not work for me either, it would not let me cancel until attempt #5 2 hours later. I was just wanting to speak to someone at the front desk, and I got NO ONE.!

Pros:

The room was very nice.

Cons:

The fan in the bathroom wasn't working and for 4 people showering it was not good. Later when we opened the fridge and there was a bug in it. We killed it but had leftover food in there so wasn't comfortable eating it.

Will not stay again. The counter guy could care less. Very impersonable.
Pros:

Cancelled room

Cons:

Extremely musty smell! Couldn’t stay 1) Allergies 2). Horrible smell. Poor customer service did not help the matter. . He was fully aware of the smell. There was a fan running in the lobby and a dehumidifier in the hallway. Very obvious there was a problem! Instead he tried to put me in another room. To appease him, I checked the other room he assigned me. Same as the first one. The second I opened the door, the smell assaulted me!
