subject: Americinn Hotel Ames Review [print this page] Each AmericInn is built with solid masonry construction and the highest sound rating in the industry to allow you the experience of a quiet night's sleep.

Other amenities include oversized pool area with vaulted wood beam ceiling, comfortable lobby and specialty suites.
We have stayed twice in another Americinn in another city and were very satisfied. Less so with this one. The maintenance and cleanliness of the room could have been improved. The first thing I did when I came in the room was pick up a gum wrapper off the floor which led me to believe that it had not been vacuumed.
The room itself looked "cheap," small TV, worn carpeting, etc. something I'd expect in a motel which had a lesser rate than this one. Vanity is outside the bathroom and the bathroom itself is tiny. On the plus side, the internet access worked well, and the front desk clerk was helpful and accommodating. I wouldn't stay here again, however.
The first think I noticed when I walked in the room was the smell (we got a non-smoking room). The smell was sort of a mix between a dirty sock and a moldy basement! Second thing was our door to our room. It took us 10 minutes to get the door to close properly. I believe that the door lock was faulty. Next, was the TV. All the channels did come in; however, the picture was very snowy. Then there was the heating/air condition in the room. It only worked if it was on really hot or really cold! And the last thing was the bedsthey were hard as a rock.
