Not the best place I ever stayed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/27/05
We chose this motel in January and again in July; won't go again. It is very convenient to our destination and the least expensive place around.
American Inn is close to the Joint Reserve Air Base (lotsa planes around one of our trips), to Ridgemar Mall, and to Carswell Federal Prison, but there is not much else in the area.
It is right off I-30 at Green Oaks Rd. exit, and visible from the freeway, but freeway access is difficult. Easiest access is from Calmont Rd., and then the office is very difficult to find. It does not look like a driveway going down there, but a narrow strip of asphalt that might have spilled down the hillside.
Buildings and equipment were in poor repair. For both rooms we stayed in, the bathtub/shower drain did not work and in one room there was a metal appurtenance on the bedframe that my wife repeatedly bashed her shins on. The pool was empty in January, of course, but also in July. Several of the rooms were in obvious disrepair both trips.
We found the staff friendly and polite both visits, unlike the previous review, and they sent someone to fix our complaint about the bed right away. They were unable to fix the bathtub drain either visit.
We will use a different place next time around.
