Convenient for my travel needs
1.5 / 5.0
Just what you'd expect for what youre paying. No 5 star establishment but if you go in looking for a bed and to save some money its worth it. Just dont go in hoping the 5 second rule dropping food applies here.. I just put a couple air freshners on the A/C vent and wasnt much bothered by anything else.

Beds were comfortable but carpet and comforter looked dirty. Bathroom was horrible.

The furniture is the room looked old and out dated, the top of the microwave had a dent. The tub had a lot residue of putty which someone had worked on the walls and didn’t clean up the mess. I didn’t have tv service the entire day/night because someone uninstalled the cable. The manager could not install the cable that night so I had to wait the next day. I talked a young lady at the desk, the next day about the problem. She was very offensive if I was trying to get over and assumed I caused the problem. I will stay in this hotel.

The bathroom were old and peeling from the tub, a dead bug on the AC, chair in the room moldy and the plugs on the floor moldy.

No hangers in room or luggage rack or tissues in bathroom. The carpet needed a vacuuming. There were cobwebs in various areas of the room, and spilled soda in one of the drawers. I would not recommend this motel, nor will I be coming back

The Ice Machine was not working. Had cigarette burns in the comforters. Felt kind of run down, but didn't feel unsafe. If youre looking for amenities and comfort i wouldnt recommand this place. If youre just looking to rest your head for a few hours or use the bed for a few hours this place isnt too bad.

The wash cloths and towels smelled like grease. They were more like rags they were so thin. The shower curtain had seen better days. There was barely any water pressure in the shower and it never got hot.

Really enjoyed our stay at American Inn Chesapeake- Portsmouth Virginia. I recommend this hotel for anyone that is traveling and needs a place to stay. The hotel was quite at night so you can sleep. Stay there if you get a chance but bring your own coffee if you are a coffee drinker like my husband
4.0 / 5.0
The staff was very nice and friendly (the female staff and elderly man who was part of the cleanning staff), there was however a middlenage gentleman that waas not always in the greatest of moods and did not ever honor anyknind of discount price regaedless how many nights we stayed. The way the housing situation is right now you would think discounted rates would be honored a little better. Overall the numerous times we stayed i was pleased.
1.0 / 5.0
1) The wifi scarcely worked, which ended up costing my two sons and me a lot of wasted time looking around for places that we could have found quickly on the web. Labor Day weekend was my only vacation, and I had to waste hours driving around trying to find a bike shop because the wifi was so terrible. We had to cancel part of our plans as a result. This also meant that I could not join a Zoom meeting I had planned to attend Sunday night. 2) The lighting in the room was terrible. A free-standing lamp was plugged into an outlet that did not work, which meant that the only way to read or do any close work on the pull-out table was by opening the window to daylight during the daytime or lie on the bed at night. 3) This "nonsmoking room" had obviously been converted from a smoking room, and the fact that I could tell that automatically means that the conversion was not well done. 4) Every morning I had to go ask for towels, because we were given two for three people. 5) The motel has no pool and offers no Continental breakfast.

Stayed here 2 evenings, not too many issues aside from leftover belongings like fake eyelashes stuck in the bathroom, a sock and some hair. Our rooms were non-smoking though one reeked of tobacco when we first arrived. Not the hotels fault that someone smoked in it but we wonder if it was checked prior. Beds were comfy and staff was nice and accommodating to any problems we had.

Nonsmoking room smelled like cigar smoke, large crack in bathtub, mold on bathroom ceiling, person who runs check in was there when we checked in and then disappeared for at least 30 minutes--we needed an additional towel (only provided two and the reservation was for three people), the ice machine was broken, the refrigerator did not get cold, it was very noisy and much use of weed. I finally got a hold of the guy by phone to ask for a towel and to ask about ice availability. He brought both down about an hour later--well after we had gone to bed and repeatedly knocked on the door until I finally gave up to answer it. He apologized and said he was working alone for which I am sympathetic but the place was downright gross. Next time we'll sleep in our car. :(

When we go away, we look for inexpensive, a place to sleep, preferably comfy, which the bed was nice, and be able to bathe...it had a garden/jacuzzi tub that was inoperable, so the shower was fine. It could use a tad bit of updating but it was great for what we wanted. I would have liked another bath towel and rag, but we made do. I shower twice a day, so....it was a great area, noise wasn't a problem because we always carry a fan, its what we're used to at home. It was a non smoking room and there were no odors as I've read in some reviews. Would I go back ? Yes, definitely ! It was a little out of the way for our venue, but that was my fault. Enjoyed it very much !!!

I booked a non-smoking room for a trip with my wife. We were given a room that wasn't cleaned and smelled like weed... not talking about the chipped paint all around in the bathroom. So I returned to the reception and asked for a different room. They changed the room with no issues and another one was cleaner and better maintained. But still, for a non-smoking room, a smell of weed was there. All rooms around that one were non-smoking rooms so I'd not expect the scent to come from the rooms nearby.. but who knows what people do? So this is an OK stay. Be mindful that one side of the hotel is facing a very busy highway...

Very unsanitary. Poufs left in the shower. Sex toy left on a table under the counter. Right next to a gun range. The fridge was dirty and not working. Never again. And the bed was on a metal squeaky frame.

Cracks in walls. Stains in bathtub and towels. Small holes in sheets.
