I loved staying here!! It is RIGHT NEXT to the police station of Council Bluffs and walking distance to 3 convenient stores, a Hy-Vee and 2 exits away from Henry Doorly Zoo and Lauritzen Gardens. Clean, quiet and nice staff
On a solo motorcycle journey, I booked this while on the road. The hotel was fine. The staff was attentive. I would like to stay there again if I were passing through.

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was great, breakfast was delicious, staff were super friendly. The only thing I did not give 5 stars for was maintenance. The reason is because there was a patched hole in the wall in our room. It was very sloppily done. There was another door in the hallway that had some damage that was slightly off putting. Otherwise, great place for the price.
Lots of grime, especially in public areas. Trash in hall and pool area left for multiple days. In the room the carpet, curtain, and walls all had stains and blobs of grime. The beds were inner spring mattresses on a thin metal frame, so were very loud. Bedding had stains and burns. Staff was friendly and breakfast was ok. Each area of the hotel had its own unique funky smell. I've stayed in worse, but really really needs a deep clean.
I will say first and foremost, the front desk staff was very kind and apologetic. So we were comforted by that and felt how sorry she was. We do not believe that this hotel is meant for families, it is beyond disgusting. We got there about 9pm, we were given a room and room card, went to that room and used the key card - there was someone already there. Went back down and got another room, and it was not clean whatsoever, cat food all over the ground smelt like cigarettes, a used water bottle. What was weird is we got into that room and the front desk called us, asking it how it was which showed us she knew she gave us a used room again. So she gives us the room next door. Just please if you have small kids like we did, 10 mos and 3 yrs, don’t take your kids here. Breakfast is very underwhelming, it isn’t worth the price, not up to date, not clean, and a lack of reimbursement for our troubles.
We were traveling from California to Michigan and made an overnight stop in Council Bluffs. Since we were traveling with pets, we needed a pet-friendly hotel and chose the American Inn after reading many positive online reviews.
The staff was very kind and friendly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the condition of our room was disappointing. The moment we walked in, there was a strong odor that smelled like mold. The wall AC unit appeared to have a newer front cover, but the inside was visibly dirty with dust, grime, and what looked like mold buildup. We chose to leave it off and open the windows instead.
The beds appeared clean, thankfully, but the bathroom had splatter marks on the walls, heavy dust around the exhaust vent, and visible mold growth on one of the interior doors.
After two long days of driving with two dogs, we were too exhausted to search for another hotel, otherwise we likely would have left.
To be fair, this was a last-minute trip during what appeared to be graduation weekend, so finding pet-friendly accommodations was difficult. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I do think travelers should know what to realistically expect. The staff was pleasant, but the cleanliness and maintenance of the room need significant attention.

Looked like they were in the process of renovating when we were staying there but it was overall a well maintained place. The staff was friendly and helpful with check in.
Nice location. Older but clean. Breakfast hours from 0600-1000. A nice variety of hot and cold foods with real butter and a microwave for use prn at breakfast. Metal surround under beds that tended to buckle noisely when sitting on the bed. Space in room adequate but limited.

This place looks nice from the outside, but shows its age once you're inside. Breakfast did not look good, so we passed on that. Beds were comfortable, and we slept well... Needs some updating

This is definitely a budget hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the manager/owner very friendly and the air conditioning was reliable and very helpful for hot summer days. Breakfast available every morning and laundry on site made it very easy to travel with a family. However, it is quite an old property, old carpets, etc. and the swimming pool area is very old and outdated.
The manager is very Pleasant and Greetful. It would be nice to get a free room for a couple nights for being a loyal valuable customer and giving Great reviews. Plus I clean up my room and take out my own trash when I check out.
Stayed for college world series. Further from field than indicated but doable. Biggest con. No elevator so if stairs are an issue that's a no go. Room was king suite. Slept three. Room was huge and well set up
Price was good would stay here again
