For a small hotel in a small town this was comfortable clean and impressive. Due to allergies I…read morehave a tendency to take a look at the air conditioning filter just to make sure it is not jammed with questionable stuff. This one was surprisingly and shockingly clean so that's the reason for the four stars. Also for a weekend it was relatively quiet and peaceful. Check in with simple and easy. The bathroom was clean the towels were good. I would stay there again if I had to be in doctors in that area again.

I see that there are literally no new reviews on this place and so I will update everyone…read more Looking back at my first review 3 years ago, I see that I paid a little over $100/night. Fast forward to 2022, and after taxes I paid $165/night. I knew the prices went up but dang, that is incredible! Upon further consideration, I'm kind of annoyed. For those of you unfamiliar with the area-YOU ARE NOT IN CHICAGO! Chicago is still almost 2 hours away. Even Starved Rock is 30 minutes away. Princeton, I'm sorry to say, is not a cultural epicenter full of attractions that draw people in and away from a city that does have those things. In the past, I've appreciated the amount of effort that goes into decorating the lobby for Christmas. Now I'm thinking that if half the effort was put into the rooms, versus the lobby, we may be getting a little closer to the cost vs quality ratio. I did notice that room had vinyl flooring and zero carpet. I liked that, as we all know how icky carpet can be. Yet the dated panther picture was way too reminiscent of items available at a local truck stop. The linens weren't extra snuggly and there is no variety in the pillow department. Unfortunately, that left me with a crick in the neck and wishing I had brought my own. Moving along, there is a pool in this inn. I saw signs that said, "The spa is closed", so I think that was referring to said pool. The free breakfast is still being served to you by employees, which makes for long lines. Waffles are no longer available on the weekend either. What? So you're telling me all the amenities of staying in the Americinn are not available and you want to charge people more? How very American of you! You may think I'm being snarky. You may think my expectations are too high. Duh! All other places that charge that kind of money have extras that make your stay lovely. Snuggly linens, firm/soft selections of pillows, warm cookies when you check-in, etc. I will no longer stay at the inn, I'd rather drive the 2.5 hours back home than drop that kind of cash. After all, I come to this area because it's where I grew up. I know the demographics of customers is probably a mixture of: extended family of residents in surrounding communities, truck drivers, and a business person here or there. All that to say, this area is full of hard-working people. They aren't about that big city life, tossing money around, and treating themselves. Why would your rooms cost so much? Okay, enough of the rant. I will put my money where my review is and no longer pay these ridiculous prices.

The pool is super nice and heated, sadly the hot tub was out of service during our stay due to the part it needed to be fixed being on a National back order, so I know it's not the hotels fault and understand that. The showers run very hot and cozy, the lobby area has a very comfortable "homey" feeling including a gorgeous fireplace, desks available for guests to work at as well as a computer available in the lobby for guests. Another nice touch is that this location offers a VPN protected network for their guests which is a really nice touch as cyber security is always a concern especially while traveling! Also the complimentary breakfast is 6-10am which is nice for those who prefer sleeping in a bit! Staff is so friendly and I had a really enjoyable stay! great place outside the QC for a more laid back getaway! Also conveniently close to I-80!

I stayed here for two nights and it is a very nice hotel. It's the business end of things that is…read morescrewed up. I reserved two rooms for me and a friend. I planned to pay for both. My friend made the mistake of putting the $50 hold on her credit card. When I tried to check out at 6 AM (friend was sleeping), I wasn't able to pay for her room because of this $50 charge on her card. What?? The early morning clerk was a young lady with no knowledge and no power. She offered to call her manager but at 6 AM that seemed like a bad idea. I knocked on my friend's door but she was still sleeping. So for this little simple thing, we were very inconvenienced and it took me too long to get going on the road. I just opened my credit card bill two weeks later to find that $50 security charge on my card still there. I had to call this morning and they told me they didn't know anything about it. They removed it, they said but I don't see it. They advised me to call my bank. Sure, I should spend a long time on the phone because on their policies? No, thanks. I don't know if I would stay here again. I don't want to have to go through all the hassles and phone calls to pay. Seems as though the company could simplify this somehow.

This hotel is a mess, and based on the age of complaints listed from other reviews the owners don't care enough to address the problems. The biggest problem I had was roaches. I killed a small one in the sink and a medium sized roach in the bathroom before getting out. Other issues: the toilet rocked quite a bit which means the sealing ring to the pipes could be compromised and allow in sewer gas. Bathroom floor tile grout was heavily broken and tiles were loose. The tub drain was clogged, so I was standing in water after a fast shower. The side entrance "security" door lock has been broken for many months, so anybody could just walk right in off the street. Obviously the big issue was the roaches - I checked my bags for more of them, skipped their free breakfast and left. If the rooms aren't clean, is the kitchen? In 6 years of travel this is the first place that I will absolutely not return to.
