The people working there were perfectly pleasant. The room had been cleaned recently.
That concludes the nice things I have to say about the AmericInn on Holiday Road.
My room was in an obvious state of neglect. The room door was nearly impossible to open, the vanity light was flickering, the bathroom floor was discolored from water leakage and a spider crawled out from behind the towels.
The cost-cutting measures contribute to a worse stay, and I have a hard time believing anybody who was involved in those decisions has spent any time in this hotel. The room was frigid when I arrived and took *hours* to come to temp. The bed pillows are small and flimsy. It’s another small thing, but the soap and shampoo packets are extremely difficult to open with wet hands. Not even little bottles, packets.
When there are this many problems in one room it’s hard not to come to the conclusion that the hotel has given up on the visitor experience, and is just running on tricking unfamiliar saps like me. If that’s the case, well done. Hats off.
I would strongly recommend that future visitors find a different place to stay, though. At least the other gross hotels are cheaper.
