I was hoping for a better experience for the amount I paid for this room. The young gal checking me the night was very sweet but I got the feeling the room I was in does not get used very often. It did have a mini-fridge and microwave but the fridge was not plugge in or pre-cooled. There was no remote so I called down to the front desk and she brought one back for me and she programmed the TV but I didn't realize the power button and volume control buttons did not work until after she left but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal. The A/C sounded like a jet engine coming through my room. When I went to wash my face, it was rusty water out of the faucet so I had to let it run just a bit. The continental breakfast was coffee and orange juice. I booked this online so was lead to believe it would be better accommodations. Will not stay here again.

Very Bad Experience

The place was dirty. The hallway was dark I had to use my phone flashlight to put key in the door. Also no light in bathroom where toilet and shower was. There was people in parking lot having a little party (loud). And the advertisement said continental breakfast but No breakfast just coffee.

Don’t let the small size fool you! It’s a gem!

Don’t let the small hotel fool you. My room had been updated. The front desk was amazing and helpful. My stay was reasonable and comfortable…

The price was great. However, the room was way below standards. American Inn has a great reputation and how this motel made the cut to be an American Inn is beyond me. Bathtub and toilet area is dated and has repair patch that was not done properly. The room actually smelled and I bought air freshener to spray in the air conditioner and room which did help. The entry door is way too complicated and I had to have assistance to figure out how it worked. Put card in, pull it out, pull knob twice to get door open. The "amenities" in the bathroom were in a red plastic dish used by some fast food restaurants. One shampoo and three conditioners. I don't get to Boone that often but will try very hard to NOT have to stay there again. Bed was fine, restaurant attached was Mexican (being from Arizona, I didn't bother to eat there). I didn't use the internet. Parking was good with easy access to the highway and downtown area.

It was clean and the A/C worked. Pool was closed on hottest days of June. Sign said "Closed for the winter", which tells me they weren't ambitious enough to get it ready by the middle of June. No breakfast, just coffee and juice. I had to turn on the coffee in our second day there. Nice people running the place, but just doing what they have to at this time.
