This is next to a truck stop entrance, so hearing trucks at night is unavoidable. Price was reasonable, so i did not expect perfection in any categories. Overall satisfied with my stay.

My wife and I had a great experience at Ameristay Inn. Check in was fast. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect..cereal, fruit, muffins, juice, milk, and coffee. Pet Friendly. A/C works great. Right by the highway. Gas stations and places to eat close by. We will stay again.

The tub had hair in it and the shower curtain was dirty. Microwave was dirty. Room was noisy right on the corner. Obviously it is a bad neighborhood as the front desk entry door was locked when we arrived at 7pm and locked when we went at 700am to turn in keys. So wishing we had picked differently.

Everything I needed was all there!

It was a great size room for my few days stay. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I forgot to pack a few things to get ready for the day and they were more than helpful to let me use some of their items. If I ever come through town again I will be staying here. Thank you Ameristay for your hospitality!

The room was fine, clean and serviceable. To check in you need to call or ring a bell, even in early evening, you can't get into the Lobby. Check in is pretty quick. Sadly if you are in a room that faces the street, you are going to get a lot of noise. Breakfast was less than good. Again you need to ring the bell or call to get in. At 0730, it wasn't set up, coffee was done, not that good, and just cereal. It was convenient to my travel plans and certainly not the worst for the money.
