• Art (10/5): Nice comfortable place to stay - Really cute hotel in this small town. Clean, comfortable bed and cute decor. Would recommend.
• Cassie (10/5): - The staff was great. We had some sleeping bags get terribly wet the staff allowed us to use their dryer so we could dry them. Also, they let us know when the dryer was down so we could swap the sleeping bags and get them out when they were done. Furthermore, the room was cozy and clean.
• John (10/5): - Great Service
• Andrew (10/5): - If you’ve ever been to Murdo, this is a star in the small town. The room I received was clean spacious and very neat. The towels were excellent. I would stay here again when I come through Murdough the staff was very helpful. I had some issues with my motorcycle and they were very helpful in figuring out what to do.
• Michelle (10/5): - This hotel is very wonderful! Very accommodating and quick check in. Tim was amazing and took the time to tell us about the different places to eat in the area. VERY nice man. Will definitely stay here again if passing through!
• Daniel (10/5): Clean, comfortable place with some solid character - The american inn is a simple, modest, cinderblock building that's been decorated with a down-home touch that speaks to pride in the area, and a willingness to support other businesses in this small town. From the wagon wheels under the main front arch, to the creative cattle-brand artwork in the halls, it feels like there's more to this place than just a clean, well-run business to these folks. The rooms were clean, and everything in our room looked to be custom-built by someone who knows their way around some carpentry -- simple, but comfortable and built to last. The usual amenities were there (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and you can have trouble finding those in properties that cost way more). The decor was definitely a page from the owner's own book, the classic El Camino out front and the other vintage project cars just show a bunch of style and a bit of wry humor. I'll also call out that the mattresses had nice, zippered protectors on them, and it was all hardwood floors, both of which go a long way in making me feel like the owner cares. I'd stay at this place over one of the big chains any time.

• lynette (10/5): - We came in late for a long day of travel. Our room qas quiet, exceptionally clean, and i am picky trust me, beds were new but too soft for my back. My family slept like babies, and i did too o ce i fell asleep. Check in was a breeze! Lobby and grounds were very clean and inviting for a small western town!
• Richard (8/5): - No review
• Lora (8/5): - Room very, very clean and a comfy bed. Only thing I wished they had that would have made the room more convenient was a night stand that could have kept things more convenient. Also had a bit of a chemical type smell that wasn’t the best. The room was excellent in cleanliness.
• Camron (10/5): This is the place to stay in this area. - Great little place. Exceptionally clean. You often don't know what you're going to get out of the smaller, Independent properties like this, but this is an A+ property. You couldn't ask for better hospitality, comfort, or cleanliness.
