While the rooms were spacious and the staff was very friendly, I couldn't say that I would recommend this hotel to family or friends. It was a great price especially considering that there was a huge car show in town this weekend, but the room we had wasn't all that clean. There was a definite odor of dog and it didn't appear that the carpet had been vaccuumed or the bathtub cleaned.
It's possible that the hotel was just overwhelmed by the amount of guests they had, but I think I'd try out another hotel rather than giving this one another chance.

We have stayed here several times and this was the last time. No rooms ready until after 3:30, door to room did not lock well, carpet was dirty, breakfast was "always" out of some juice and it took "forever" to get it refilled. We stayed 4 nights and it was like that every day. The TV in the room was really unwatchable and the sound was just as bad. They were going to replace it every day and never did, Front desk people did not seem to care about anything. We were stuck because we had prepaid the room and were told no way to get our money back. I am sure there was a way but we were in town to see friends and just did not want the battle. This place needs a major remodel before we stay there again. We normally like AmericInns and stay in them often -- not this one. The hotel was non smoking but the smokers stood right outside the outside doors and you had to walk between them to get inside. I asked why they smoked there and was told they had no other place to go. The parking lot was huge -- lots of places to go.

My boyfriend and I made a reservation for this hotel based on the website information, it looked like a decent hotel and the rate seemed reasonable. We are from Flint, so we were familiar with the area. When we arrived at 3:00pm which is there check in time, we were told the rooms were not ready yet. When we asked when we could expect to check in the front desk staff said "I have no idea". Wow, I think that's good customer service. We came back about 45 minutes later the room still wasn't ready. When we did get in our room the TV would not work, the phone would not call out, the jacuzzi tub drain would not stay plugged. In the pool area there are no food or drinks allowed. I think what I would rate the worst isthe attitude of the staff. They were not friendly, considerate, or even said"I'm sorry" for any inconvenience.

We spent over a week in this hotel and I was very impressed with both the staff and the rooms, considering how inexpensive it was. Their hot breakfast was indeed hot whether I got there at 7 or 9:30. Waffles, bagels, muffins, yogurt, string cheese, eggs, biscuits and gravy, 3 kinds of cereal - I felt spoiled. We had a slight problem with the room and the staff was very QUICK to respond and to resolve the issue!
The only thing I would change would be to add a small refrigerator in the room.
