The hotel was $20 over the $32.99 they offer according to the big sign out front. Bed spread had burn wholes. Smelled like smoke. Nasty room.

This motel should be shut down. It was filthy, worn out and homeless people were sleeping in the hall. If we had gotten in early enough in the evening we would have looked for another place and happily forfeited our money. We would have bought a jacket at Walmart and stayed in the car.

Lots of broken glass in the parking lot and no soap in the room, but you get what you pay for. I just wanted somewhere to sleep, wasn’t expecting the Ritz.

The room and building was very dirty. There was trash in the halways and elevator. The room hadn't been cleaned after the last occupant.

Pulled in very late due to road construction detouring our drive. As we approached, there were people all over behind the building, and what appeared to be some sort of homeless encampment. We drove through the parking lot and decided that the American Inn wasn't anywhere we'd feel safe parking our minivan, let alone bringing five kids to sleep. My bad for booking (and paying for!) the cheapest hotel I could find without thoroughly reading the reviews. Can't speak to the condition of the hotel or the cleanliness, as we didn't make it in the building. Drove across the road and got a room at the nearby Holiday Inn Express.

The staff was friendly. My balcony door was broken so i notified the front desk and itvwas fixed immediately. The problem was the bathroom was nasty , i had to clean it before i could shower. There was a lot of homeless people in the parking lot but security did run them off each evening.

Rooms were terribly dirty. Took way too long to check in. First room we got was “non smoking” but smelled terrible. Bed sheet were stained and had cigarette burns and the door to the balcony was broke and stuck OPEN! Second room was a “smoking room” stunk like stale moldy cigarettes, bed sheets were white and very obviously stained with yellow grossness. Third room was “non smoking” still stinky, bathroom was disgusting and the door to the bathroom was broken. But at least the bed sheet were not stained. We literally just had to tough it out as the other hotels in the area were out of our price range.

The images online were a bit misleading- this hotel is in pretty rough shape. Actually, it’s pretty scary. Broken windows, cigarette burned comforters, and the checkin process took 45 minutes because they still run this hotel with paper cards, not software.

Sorrounding by drug addicts homeless young people. Extremely unsafe.

Location is the only positive thing about this place. Other than that it’s dirty, smells horrible and there was even trash underneath the the bed. Please look else where!

Dirty pillowcases and comforter. Room above us had a leak and ceiling came down and soaked the carpet. Cobwebs and burn holes

Walked in to our room with the TV on and one of the beds messed up with part of a quesadilla laying on the night stand. Had looked like a maid had took her break there and could care less to clean up her mess much less any other mess in the room. The door to the room was sketchy as it didn't latch completely and had the look as if it had a crowbar taken to it before. The "free" wifi was lucky if it worked half of our stay there. Lots of drug addicts and homeless people roaming around everywhere on the property that the staff seem to just completely disregard. The place was cheap, but I'd pay double to never go through this sketchy kind of stay again.

next to major highway. To noisy- traffic. Staff was friendly.

I reserved a non-smoking double bed, but all they had was a smoking king. Sticky floors. Burns every where. Broken furniture. Somebody tried breaking into my room at 2am with and under the door tool. Rude staff.

When we arrived we were informed they were sold out and did not have a room for our reservation. There was trash and dead bugs on the floor in the lobby, and several people came to the desk to complain about dirty rooms and bugs in their room.
2.0
Both Check-in And Check-out staff were rude. Room was damaged, outlets didn't work, TV was broken, not all the lights worked. We also had a homeless guy come to our door and knock on it, he stood out there for about 5 minutes, just waiting, then he left and we saw the same guy just hanging out by our car when we were leaving. We were checking out and the guy was sitting in the back office, so we called for help and he didnt answer us the first time, so the second time we said "Excuse me" and from the back office he rudely said "What!?" and waited for us to answer before walking up to the desk to help us. Would never stay here again.

This property was terrible. Smelled like a smoky casino. There were cockroaches and our bed spread was extremely dirty. We ended up leaving the same night

There were so many homeless people around this motel. It was disgusting and so unsafe. We didn’t even bother to check in, and had to spend a bunch of money to find a safer place to stay for the night. You should remove this hotel from your website. Absolutely disgusting!!

This is a Motel, and most people will use it as a convenient place to spend the night while driving through the Denver area. So it's not expected to be a resort. That said, it could still be better than what it is. Our "non-smoking" rooms smelled like smoke. One of our rooms had no shower curtain, no tissues, and only two towels. I liked that there were sliding glass doors to help air out the rooms. I didn't like that it was necessary to do. The shower water pressure in one of the rooms was fantastic, in the other room it was just average. The whole place really needs a renovation.
One big plus: It has a pretty huge parking lot. There's room for plenty of cars, and also plenty of oversize vehicles.
Be aware that one of the things that's not up-to-date about the motel is that the front desk isn't computerized-- all of the rooms and room assignments are on paper cards. The staff at the front desk was great though.

Luckily I showed up to check in JUST AS they were trying to give away my prepaid reservation.

Sandy (GM) was genuinely nice and responsive. My room was ok. This is a low budget motel, so don't expect anything fancy. Some of the front desk people were borderline curt, but still helpful. Homeless people in the area, at night, were an issue. Motel staff did their best to monitor. Security guard was vigilant and approachable. There are several fast food places, but limited dining options, and only one bar. Nearby - Target, a dispensary, and a transit (RTD) station about a mile away. I used LYFT to get around. They were prompt and efficient.

This place should be condemned. It is beyond filthy, to the point of being a serious health violation. The carpet was back and sticky, the table leg fell off onto the floor when I set my purse down and the chair legs were held on with multiple layers of duct tape(I am serious). Stains and holes all over the blankets, sheets and mattress. The bathroom floor was grimy with filth on the toilet, which didn’t flush, the tub didn’t hold water, and the shower curtain had filth and salmonella growth caked on the bottom of it. The balcony screen was torn off and laid aside and the balcony floor was littered with trash and broken glass. The sign said rates are 39.99 and up. My room was almost 90$. I would be terrified to see what the cheap rooms look like.

Well i liked that i could have a smoking room..the older staff woman was quite rude and unprofessional..lets just say it's not The Hilton

Upon checking in, the first room had dried blood on the walls. Staff moved us to another room which had a completely clogged and disgusting toilet. Third room at-least had a working toilet and no blood on the walls. The two female employees were great, and horrified at the room conditions but the male employee was rude and condescending. Will NEVER take a chance on this motel again
