This location is one with several lodging accommodations. I didn't see a lot of restaurants. There was a Perkins. However, I was there for one night, and the weather was below zero.

Cleanliness is important

My main concern about a motel is always cleanliness, & I was not disappointed at American Inn. Also, check-in was very quick! I would stay here again.
