Marking this place as a "stay again". Everything went off without a hitch!

Our family has stayed at the AmericInn in Detroit Lakes many times, usually over Christmas.

It is a great hotel overall. It is very clean, and the staff is very nice. The continental breakfast is very good. They also supply free soup in the evening.

The only problem I encounter regularly is noise. The AmericInn advertises its quietness ([-]). But despite the technology, there are still problems with noise. I never heard people in the rooms next to me. However, I heard the trains going by, and in the morning, when breakfast started going in the lobby, I heard people talking and the alarm on the waffle iron. Also, mysteriously, there was a lound slamming sound at 4AM as if a large door was closing.

Most hotels in Detroit Lakes are near the train tracks, so I assume you would be able to hear the train from those hotels as well, but I am not willing to give up a good thing at the AmericInn to find out.

This problem is minor, and I am willing to run the fan to get a good night of sleep. You may want to bring a pair of ear plugs. Our family will likely stay at the AmericInn next Christmas.

Stayed at AmericInn one night because of a funeral. Room was clean and convenient. Noise level from the train whistle was lower here than other hotels in the area. They need to spend money on new sheets and better beds - both were rough. The staff was friendly, self service breakfast was OK, rates were reasonable.

We needed lodging for one night in order to attend a funeral. I called directly and they said they would offer a bereavement discount, which I consider very generous.
We arrived from the Twin Cities and found they had our registration form prepared in advance. Nice to have all set when we arrive tired. The room was warm, nicely decorated, modern and CLEAN. (I am an infection control practitioner and appreciate cleanliness.) The breakfast buffet was more than adequate. My family also appreciated that the TV was wall mounted so you have more counter space. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this facility to others.
