What guests think

At American Inn and Suites, reviews describe a budget, no‑frills stay with generally clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff, but with aging facilities, a long‑term pool closure, and a very basic breakfast that often lacks protein options.

Guests frequently note outdated decor, fogged windows, weak water pressure, and tricky TVs, while beds range from comfortable to quite firm. The location is convenient off the highway for visits to Dubuque, Field of Dreams, or Galena, with plenty of parking. Expect a simple, affordable stopover rather than a full‑amenity stay.

We have stayed here before while in the area. Overall the hotel is nice. Our room was clean and quiet large. The bathroom seems to have been uodated. The rooms were very quiet and I know that we had people near our room. The breakfast could use a few more options like fresh fruit and tea bags. Not everyone is a coffee drinker. The outside of the building needs a little TLC to improve the curb appeal.

In need of a refresh. Many weeds (even an overflowing box of weeds) in the front of the hotel give an immediate indication of what to expect inside. While the room is mostly clean, there is built up dirt in the corners, holes in the walls and chipped paint on doorframes and walls. Paint and decor is dated. Bed is okay. I consider this hotel okay for 1 night.....but I could not wait to out of there.

Overall I was very disappointed. The room had a strong, unpleasant odor/smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in. The paint on the walls was peeling off, which made the room look poorly maintained. It gave a very negative impression of the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the hotel. Considering the price I paid, this experience was definitely not worth it.

This is an older hotel, our rooms were on 1st floor which is actually below ground with ground level windows. It was quite musty and damp, with peeling paint in places and rusty door frames. The tub shower drain was rusty and had no plug. It was clean, but had an air of neglect.

The property was conveniently located by freeway. Easy access. Our room was not good. Shower area needed cleaning and painting. Black mold all around above the shower. Shower curtain was dirty. I took it down and left it in the tub when we left. Bedding needed a good bleach job. I peaked in another room that was open when I was leaving, and it was much better than ours. Pool was closed. Hopefully they are in the process of renovating and ours wasn't done yet. I can get by with a lot of things, but being clean is a non-negotiable in my book.

This property is outdated and feels damp. While the bedding was clean, pulling back the bedding revealed prominent dark stains on the mattress. The front desk person was a very nice woman who was very professional and helpful. The worst part of this stay was when we started getting ready for bed, I noticed a cockroach on the far wall. Nope. Not doing that. Those get into your luggage and you're bringing home unwanted souvenirs. We left and went to the Dubuque Holiday Inn and Conference Center. It was only 15 minutes from Peosta and it was clean, updated and relaxing. I'd recommend spending a bit more and avoiding this place.

Overall, the property was clean, just outdated. The windows panes were all foggy and needs placing. We chose this hotel due traveling with kids and wanting to use the adverised pool. After check in, we learned the pool has been broken and inoperable for what appears to be a very long time, per other reviews recently discovered. We would have chosen a differnt hotel if we have known the pool is no longer an amenity offered.

Although we loved the cleanliness and look of the place we cannot recommend any stays here. Husband and I BOTH tossed and turned on the concrete hard mattes for 2 hours before we decided to pack Up at 2:30am and make the 2 hr drive home to sleep in our own bed! It was unbearable and truly frustrating because we wanted to live this small town clean hotel. If all the mattress are like room #307 I don’t know how anyone sleeps there unless they are black out drunk.

The hotel was conveniently located and parking was easy. The rooms were clean, and somewhat up-to-date. The tv in our room didn’t work (it said no service available). The plug to switch the water from bath to shower wasn’t working properly, so you got a low-pressure shower while water was still coming out of the tub faucet. The pool was out of service (we were not notified, just saw a sign on the door when we went to go swimming). The breakfast area was VERY limited and VERY small. There was a youth baseball tournament at the local sports complex, and with only 3 small 4-person tables in the breakfast area, we had to go to a restaurant. It was a room and bed, but not the most pleasant experience we’ve had.

My stay was fine. The accommodations met my needs and I felt the rate was a decent value. My only complaints were very limited choices for breakfast, namely no protein options. Even some yogurt or boiled eggs would make a big difference. The other complaint was that the man who checked me in could not speak English. Fortunately, I had made my reservation and paid through Expedia, so he only had to give me my room/key.

Customer service skills were lacking from staff. Not very friendly, if you could find anyone working. I thought i was booking a room at a known chain with a similar name. I believe this was independently owned at operated. We were placed in the dungeon (first floor). Dark and musty hallways which had scattered dehumidifiers in the halls. Dead bugs filled the tiled areas, not sure what was hiding in the carpets? Room was a suite with a jacuzzi tub. Very large living room with small kitchen area. Bedroom was nice with fireplace, jacuzzi. In the dungeon, we had no wifi and walls were thin. As we would leave the hotel, large amounts of cigarette butts everywhere. Light fixtures were broken and laying in the grass. Always had hot water, easy access off of the highway and really neat pancake machine for breakfast.
