My wife and I had a great experience at Ameristay Inn. Check in was fast. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect..cereal, fruit, muffins, juice, milk, and coffee. Pet Friendly. A/C works great. Right by the highway. Gas stations and places to eat close by. We will stay again.

This property was disappointing to say the least. Room was in a state of disrepair - but at least the A/C and TV worked. Beds were average, but the rest of the room was gross. The “guest laundry” machines were broken, ice machine inoperable, no coffee anywhere that I could find. Would not stay here again, nor any other Ameristay property.

Everything I needed was all there!

It was a great size room for my few days stay. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I forgot to pack a few things to get ready for the day and they were more than helpful to let me use some of their items. If I ever come through town again I will be staying here. Thank you Ameristay for your hospitality!

We didn’t find any bed bugs, so that’s a plus. Room seemed clean but sheets had a few stains and a few rips. Most disappointing part was the “breakfast” had nothing but stale packaged muffins, overripe bananas, cereal but no milk, and chunky floaties in the apple juice and orange juice, like the dispenser machine needed cleaned. Nasty.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bed had seen better days. Was really dim. Lobby and room smelled. Towels were really worn, needed to be replaced, so did the sheets. No coffee in the room. Hardly any water pressure. The only good thing I can say about this place is it was quiet. I wish I spent the extra money for a better hotel. Cheap is not always better.
