From the moment we rolled through the clean, well-kept parking lot and walkways of this little motel I knew we were going to be ok. The staff was friendly. The rooms were immaculate. There's clean in a motel of this age then there's the kind of pristine clean I saw. Every surface, every nook and cranny, the bathtub and bathroom sink, the floors were all spotless. There were nice extra touches like the group of shelves in bathtub area for towels and the guest's personal items when using bathtub. The bathtub, toilet floor and walls had been remodeled beautifully and were bright white with a lovely blue-green wall color. There's a small refrigerator and microwave and great lighting. Just bring your own shampoo and conditioner. I could go on and on but my point to this reciew is to emphasize that if you're searching for a nearby place to stay if you're going to an Ole Miss football game or just an excellent little place to lay your head for a night or two this is your place. My husband hunts in that area so I'll definitely be back. Bravo American Inn!

This motel tucked in the middle of Pontoto, MS is absolutely first class. It’s obviously been remodeled otherwise it couldn't charge $75 on the weekends. Readers, this place is immaculate. My husband and I spend lots of time traveling and we've ended up in hotels this age just hoping it won't be too horrid. This place is as clean or cleaner than the 4 star hotels where we've stayed. The staff is very friendly. The grounds are impeccable. It looked scrubbed clean from the moment we rolled through the parking lot. If you're searching for a place to stay before going to an Ole Miss football game or Tupelo to visit Elvis, this little jewel is for you. My only tiny insight is that I believe your reviews would be even more outstanding if your place provided a little higher end soap and shampoo as well as providing conditioner to go with shampoo. That's it. This is a phenomenal place.
