### AmericInn by Wyndham Ames

4/10 Poor

"Cleanest hotel I've ever been in! Front lobby was always swept and moped. Smelled clean, not old and musty like most hotels. Problem was how staff made us feel. I had 3 children with me, but they are very wèll behaved. We were in town visiting my son that was there for work and was registered in a differnt hotel down the street. Every time we would come and go, we were questioned/accused of which guests were actaully staying there. I was uncomfortable, feeling like I was being watched and judged. Also, I was told there was a $200 deposit, when I said I would go somewhere else, he used my card and just took $100 deposit. Then refused to give me a receipt stating that I dont get one with 3rd party booking. I explained I wanted one for the deposit....he just told me "not to worry". Hopefully hes true to his word and I get the deposit!"
