Pulled in very late due to road construction detouring our drive. As we approached, there were people all over behind the building, and what appeared to be some sort of homeless encampment. We drove through the parking lot and decided that the American Inn wasn't anywhere we'd feel safe parking our minivan, let alone bringing five kids to sleep. My bad for booking (and paying for!) the cheapest hotel I could find without thoroughly reading the reviews. Can't speak to the condition of the hotel or the cleanliness, as we didn't make it in the building. Drove across the road and got a room at the nearby Holiday Inn Express.
