Horrible Service and Unsafe conditions, I canceled the day I got there, due to unsafe and dirty conditions. No one was there when I went to check in and I left and tried calling with no response or being able to leave a message on option 2.... The owner was supposed to call me and never did, and they charged my card the next day for 10 nights and said that's what I booked and can't cancel. I told them they can charge for one night, but this was still wrong, and she was not helpful and hung up on me. I am disputing the charge but if this is not taken care of, I plan 100% to litigate and will take the owner to court over this. I can only imagine they do this nonsense to others and this time choose the wrong person who will spend the money to call them out for these bad business practices and unsafe conditions. I am giving them notice and a chance to fix this, but they seem to not care.

Do not stay hete

Booked room at $89, which we thought was odd because of State Fair, but that’s what it showed. Got there and we were charged 170!!!! Room was hot, had flys, big gap in door, a wasp in bathroom and when we pulled back blanket had 2 dead bugs in the bed!! We left and drove home. Done with this hotel and Hotels.con.

This is not a good hotel, firstly the cost of a room is way too high for the quality. When we got in the room one of the lamps didn't work, the tv box wasnt set up, there is visible dust on most of the appliances, furniture, and vents. There was only one set of bathroom amenities for 2 people. I had asked for an extra towel before we went to the state fair. When we got back to the room there was still no towel and I asked again and it took a further 30 min to get my towel so i could take a shower.lastly probably the worst part is there were so many bugs in the room. The only good parts of this hotel is the convenience of the distance from the state fair and the staff was respectful. Would not recommend for a stay.

When I went to check in there was no room reservation for us. I had a copy of our itinerary number for our room. They had nothing in their system. They had no open rooms. Called Orbitz customer service was on the line for more than an hour trying to figure out issue at American Inn and trying to find another room in Sedalia which was not possible due to an event scheduled there for the weekend. We had to travel to another town which was an hour away and book our own room. No compensation was offered for our inconvenience, phone data, time or more than anything stress and frustration..

I had room 106. The first bed whatever they use to hold it up was broken. All night the bed kept moving around i almost fell out. There were no towel holders. Both beds top sheet possibly comforter had several burnt cigarettes holes as we were told people are to smoke outside. If you can't handle smoking smells like we could not do not go here. They can smoke outside right next to your door. We had 2 nights here and I will not pick this place next time.

The lady that runs and cleans, is rude. Believe there were bed bugs. It was a little loud with people up all night in the parking lot. The toilet wouldn't flush because the tank wouldn't fill.

I chose this because it was the cheapest option. I did not expect much, but the room looked like there'd been no updates on the room (aside from DIY repairs) since the 70s. It looked very dirty in the bathroom (where there is no counter) with mold on the walls (likely because there was no bathroom fan. Also, paprr thin walls and venting lets you hear EVERYTHING nearby. If it was a little more private and clean, this place would be awesome.

The property is an old style motel, with rooms arranged around a parking area in the shape of a C. The rooms are heated by a wall mounted heating and air conditioning unit. My room was cold when I arrived (early February) as if the heat had not been maintained recently, and it took all evening and all night for the room to warm up, with the setting on 78 degrees. Although the room had ducts in the floor for HVAC, it was apparently not functional. Better to stay here in the spring and fall.
