American Inn - Grover Beach - Pismo Beach

My husband and I stayed at the American Inn in June 2023. We could see that the room had been updated. The shower was really nice. At every hotel we stay at, I always check it for cleanliness. I found our room to be lacking. On the base of the toilet, there was a good amount of urine and a hair. The cover sheet on the bed had a gray stain, a pillow with yellow and dark stains, and a dead bug in the shower. I went to the nearest store and bought cleaning products because at this point, I was not sure how thorough the room was cleaned. After this experience and the amount we payed, we will not be staying at this place again.

ZERO stars as the room was uninhabitable due to the cigarette smoke that had drenched the room. Despite new ownership and supposed renovations the room I was given had such a strong smoke odor that we had to leave due to health concerns. No refund was given and I had to pay for a different place to sleep. False advertisement will lead you to believe that this hotel is better than previous bad reviews for the old owners. DO NOT be fooled into believing this. Also DO NOT be fooled into paying extra for a "Deluxe Room". You will be given a standard room that does not look anything like the photos on their website or Hotels com. Even if you can tolerate the smoke it is a cheap and old motel that is charging $400 a night. DO NOT let them rob you like they did me. I wasted $450 total on a room I couldn't sleep in and they refused to remedy the situation. HORRIBLE place, HORRIBLE price, HORRIBLE pwners

Only one car in the parking lot was the first red flag. The room did have new windows and new floors so that was comforting. The mattress was hard and the bedding was probably 10 years old 🤮 There was a flood light shining in our window all night (since there was no alarm clock, I couldn’t tell if it was 2:00am or 8:00am). No blow dryer. Called down to see if we could get one and was told they don’t have one. I feel bad because the front desk lady was very nice but the place was awful.

Cleanest rooms. Welcoming owners. Super clean bathroom and shower. Clean white walls and bed sheets. What more is there to say about a motel? We stayed two nights and it was quiet despite having other guests nearby. Highly recommended!
