Steven
Nice, clean hotel. Room was just what we needed. Definitely a great stay
Brian
Breakfast wasn't good. Check in staff wasn't responsive.
Jane
All good value
David
Dated but not worn out. Amazingly clean. Reasonably priced. Quiet. Kind of a no frills unicorn. Most basic places I am concerned about the sleeping on the sheets and in the bed. No such worries here.
Joshua
We spent one night here and went to Kinnick Stadium. We were able to Uber 5 people there and back for less than it cost for parking at the venue. The hotel was somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable enough for our stay and expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast hit the spot on the way out the door the next morning.
Charlene
They were very nice to me respectful.And I got a heck of a deal.I really needed to stay.I'm homeless and i'm disabled so I wish I can get some free nights and I have tremors too and I was shaking around back today but I got through it all and they were good
Nancy Z
The staff welcoming was fine- he actually helped because I had forgotten a phone cord a he had one I could borrow. We walked into room and the bathroom had tissue or toilet paper on the ground. The beds were hard. The pillows were awful and I slept terribly even though I was exhausted from a very busy day. We arrived for breakfast at least 40 minutes before it ended (which was 9am on a Sunday) and there was almost nothing available. No waffle mix, a few “pastries”, cereal but there was about two tablespoons of milk left. Yogurt, fruit (apples and bananas), and bread. That was breakfast. Very disappointing. Pretty sure the data center craze in CR has left hotels unwelcoming for regular travelers. This will not be a place we choose again.
Sherri
Property was less than clean. Overflowing trash, the worse though after being happy for a comfortable bed and sleeping all night was finding a used bandaid in our bed that was not ours.
Elizabeth
We were able to check in early, which was nice. TV and bathroom were outdated. There were two of us. I had to ask for a second room key and there were exactly two of each towel. Seemed a little stingy—a bit inconvenient if you want to take more than one shower. But it was fine for one night.
Danyelle
Staff were amazing!
Rich
Check in was amazing and the staff were very helpful with our accommodations!
Jen
Would not stay here again. The gentleman who checked us in was extremely nice. That’s about all this place had going for it.

The room we had with the king size bed was very spacious, which included a couch and a desk. Everything was clean and the staff was nice.
Peggy
The room was pretty small and the breakfast could have better options and been more fresh
Karen
Greeted very kindly by staff
Manuel
We've stayed here quite a bit over the past few months. My workers enjoyed it a lot. Clean and tidy.
Christopher
Older property in need of some tlc, but what stood out was the attention the staff gives to both the property and their guests. Every time I left my room there was someone cleaning in the public spaces on the property, room a bit dated but comfortable enough for a night.
Nicole
Room was as advertised. Clean, no smell and great for a quick stay before an early flight.
Steve
Good for a night's sleep
Manuel

LaTanya
Because of the location of the signage I went to the Hotel in front of the property. Otherwise it was a nice hotel.
Cassandra
There is no pool so that should be advertised. Also thought it odd they wanted to charge extra per person for the room. The room slept 4 and there were 3 of us. I’ve never had a hotel do that. Maybe just me.
Bret
Clean and upgraded affordable hotel. Staff was great and close to so many restaurants. Great for a 1 night stay on the way through.
Jennifer
It worked for overnight stay. Wouldn’t stay longer then that
Dawn
The only problem I had was when I went down for breakfast at 8
Michael
Pleasantly surprised
Very nice room, beds, and overall great hotel. Breakfast was a little limited but best value on a 6 day trip
Tiffany
Nice for an overnight stay
We made an error when making our reservations. We arrived after midnight to check in. The gentleman working quickly assisted us in correcting our error, so we could check into our room.
Maggie
Fine for a cheap stay
Breakfast wasn’t even worth having and the room wasn’t as clean as I think I should have been but staff was kind and the hotel was quiet.
Jeff

Great experience
Shannon
We have stayed many times at this location, always friendly and clean.
Patrick
Great lil hotel for the price range. A few dining spots walking distance. Only negative, somwhat rough neighborhood nearby.
Karen
Rooms were clean beds were comfortable. Reasonable price
Joanne E
Good for an overnight. Lots of fast food nearby.
Todd
Everything thing was great. Room 119 needs to look at the toilet. Very loose at the floor.
Marc
Good hotel
I had booked the room because I thought I might over indulge at the Cedar Rapids Kernels and didn't want to drive home. The hotel sent me an email so I could pre check in which I'm guessing sped up the process. The hotels.com advertised an iron/ironing board available in each room but mine for whatever reason did not have an ironing board. Not a huge issue for me as I just used a towel on a table if no ironing board available. I was actually happy that my ps5 connected to the hotel wifi as they can be difficult to connect to WiFi in most hotels. My main complaint was I did not see an elevator to access the 2nd floor(my room was on 1st floor) so if you have issues going up/down steps you may want to seek a different hotel. The breakfast options offered were fairly straightforward nothing special. Overall it's a decent hotel for the price I would stay here again.
Phillip
Friendly, clean and good value.

Nice place. Pretty well maintained. Hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. The only negative, breakfast was a bit sparse. Not much to choose from and some of what was to be there was empty and it appeared as though it was not going to be replaced anytime soon.
Michael
Large neat and clean rooms. Nice little breakfast area. Nice staff
Angie
We checked in an immediately left… the room was smelly/dirty and the locks didn’t work.. we were literally the only people in the hotel and it made my teenage daughter and I very uncomfortable. We ended up staying at the Holiday inn across the street instead
Randy
There was no Saturday breakfast provided or sign with the reason why, however on Sunday there was breakfast provided. No pool access, again no sign for reason why just cardboard over the windows.
Alan
Friendly and fast check in Lighted parking lot Clean room Lots of dining options within walking distance
Michelle
Staff was extremely helpful and customer focused
Kent
The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful
grace
place was clean & staff was friendly was able to get a extra hr for a late check-out so that was super awesome
Sonja
This location is one with several lodging accommodations. I didn't see a lot of restaurants. There was a Perkins. However, I was there for one night, and the weather was below zero.
Taylor
Great stay
Julie M
Rooms are spacious and kept in good repair. Very clean rooms and management helps quickly with any requests

Was there to visit family so didn't spend much time in motel but while there everything seemed clean and pleasant. staff was helpful
Patricia
It was very clean and comfortable.
Craig
Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. The room I selected was supposed to have a couch but did not. Only place to sit was a desk chair that would lean back too far unless you pushed it up against the wall. Otherwise, comfortable, clean room for the night.
Darryl
Nice property. Clean. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced.
jay
I was quite pleased with my one night stay. Check in was easy; front desk person was helpful and friendly. Our room was great with a huge, comfortable bed. I recommend this place at the reasonable price I paid. I'll be staying again.
Mary

Clean hotel, nice beds, clean shower. No elevator, although only two floors. Only ding was breakfast. Lots of people, no place to sit, probably only three tables. Food was pretty much all gone at 8am. No employees around to restock. After waiting 10 minutes we just left. Everything else was good.
Robert
Quiet, well maintained, close to airport and comfortable deluxe bed.
Thomas
They did not provide the complimentary breakfast at advertised hours
Anthony
Great Value.

Good customer service bad bed
Beds were uncomfortable and that was my biggest problem the tub was a little small...the lady that checked us in was very nice and welcoming
Arlan
Beds were great, very comfortable. Price was OK
Angela
Good breakfast, good price for just passing thru. I’d book again but the room could have been cleaner, the bathtub in particular and the fridge smelled terrible.
Verified traveler
Okay for an overnight stay
It was okay, clean, check in was okay. Super friendly staff! Tv didn’t work initially, after the front desk came up and did whatever, it started.. worked okay until turning it in the morning. Then stopped working again.. Shower/tub drained super slow as did the sink. Very limited choices for the continental breakfast. Overall it was okay for a one night stay, doubt I’d stay again
Stephen
Clean and friendly.
Mike
Pleasant stay
Thank you

James
Very nice location for our needs. Easy access in and out. Comfortable clean room.
David
The breakfast was very light on variety. Had a toaster but no bread for it. Waffle batter was empty.
Elizabeth
This hotel was in a good location, it was clean, and it was a decent price. The breakfast was a little lackluster, but otherwise, The American Inn served our needs well.
Gregory
Not great, not terrible. It was fine. It is an older building that could use some updates, but staff was friendly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked. Breakfast was very basic. It think it is fine for what it is.
Erin
There was nothing special about this motel but also nothing bad either.
Cliff or Robin
King bed room was clean, very large and roomy. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom had a strong fan to easily remove steam.

Recent reviews of this hotel are misleading
I not sure where the people who posted the most recent stays for this hotel stayed, but it wasn't here or they looked past the glaring deficiencies in the hotel. The room I stayed in was musty smelling and needed updating. The desk chair was gross as all the leatherette material was peeling off. There was a place for a sofa that was missing. The outside and interior of the hotel was most definitely NOT recently remodeled. I would never stay here again.
Jackie
Disappointed
We picked this hotel because it advertised a pool and no pool. Towels laying in every entrance
Julie
Room was very lsrge, updated. No couch in king room, lots of open space. Nothing was mentioned the pool was out of order and looking at the pool area, will NOT be open any time soon.
